I definitely do not understand the big hype around ‘gender’ reveals. The big party, the balloon arch, cake, OTT reveal, the pink or blue scheme - literally no one cares about the sex of your baby apart from you, your partner and possibly very close family. Otherwise, it seems like an excessive waste money for something, which, let’s face it, is just a big social-media flex so you can take pretty pictures for the ‘gram.

And it shows that our society is still really sexist. They make a sex reveal party because people find it relevant. Nobody would make a "hair colour" reveal party. Its because they think that a baby boy and a baby girl are going to be different. If not they would do just a "we had a baby" party.

Upvotes and downvotes. It turns social media into this game where you try to gain (or lose, if you’re into that) as many internet points as possible, rather than actually expressing your own opinion. The number of people supporting an opinion is not proof said opinion is correct, but rather said opinion is mainstream.

Hot take, but the whole body positivity being turned into "fat acceptance". Body positivity is for things you can't change like scars, birth defects, amputees, etc. It's like america gave up on the obesity epidemic and was just like let's just call it this so it seems like it's a positive thing to do nothing about it.

Plastering pics of your children everywhere for the whole world to see. It's like an invitation for the creepers. Just don't!

I totally get what youre saying, but it makes it real hard to be a proud Mama . My kids are in their late 20's & early 30's, & i still post any new pic of them i can get my hands on.

The amount of stories about people who feel that they, as “influencers”, have the right to approach businesses/Sole Traders and request/demand/expect free stuff in exchange for exposure and mentions to your 15,000 (possibly purchased) followers.
If you’ve approached a business you’ve found online, heard a buzz about, or is currently trending, chances are they don’t need to give you free stuff for a tag. If businesses genuinely felt you could influence their profits, they’d approach you. That’s why it’s Celebrities in the adverts and not you.
Businesses have started to publicly shame so-called “influencers” though, mostly to their own (usually significantly larger amount of) followers, so it’s not all bad!
