What a total pair of douchebags. I feel so sorry for their girls. They are never going to be enough for their parents. Trust me, I know what that feels like. Being less than, just because your born female. Just FYI to those idiots, sperm determines the gender. But judging by this post, i don't think either one of them would understand the science.

The reddit user OpheliaLives7 makes many good points. I strongly disagree that "gender disappointment" is a normal way to behave. These people are just sexist pricks, more specifically they are mostly misogynistic because it's usually when the baby is a girl that you see the screaming temper tantrums. Anyway, being an adult having a full on temper tantrum because the baby is the "wrong gender" is pathetic behavior that should be shamed. There's a 50/50 chance for it being a girl or a boy; this is not news. People should stop pushing sexist stereotypes onto their kids. Also, pink for girls and blue for boys is just a very effective marketing campaign to get people to buy more sh!t by convincing them that if their oldest kid is a different sex than the younger one, they can't possibly reuse the baby stuff.

I think I will do one of those parties when I am a dad. Hear me out and let me know if it sounds nice or not. All feedback good or bad is welcome :D I will go to the most pristine forest in Australia Greece or the USA! In summer for my FAVOURITE zodiac signs. We will time the pregnancy! Because I want to celebrate nature my future partner will be that kinda gal too!!! I will take 2 sparrows I will strap both lucky birds with cute little jackets. Inside is a bottle filled with Pyrotechnic Salt infused Napalm and some C4 Plastic Ex for an Extra pop! That way everyone can see! One will be Strontium salts for a beautiful scarlet colour. The other will be Copper salts for the gentle hue of sky blue. Red for boy, blue for girl CUS WE HAVE TO BE UNIQUE! After releasing the birds my wife will click the detonator! Programmed so that only the CLOSEST birds erupts in flame! It symbolizes our closeness to nature and will decide if we are having a baby or an abortion! Based on the colour!

The pathetic males getting mad because the child is a girl have the same mentality as those who practice sex selective abortion - or worse, infanticide (e.g. feeding husks or poison to infants and cause them to choke to death).

This gender reveal thing is complete b******t.

This is one reason ultrasound techs sometimes refuse to reveal genders to parents, especially in the first and early 2nd trimesters. It's disgusting a baby can be less desired, less cherished over genitals.

Forgive my ignorance but does this mean both parents didnt know the gender? But yeah the party planner knows. The whole thing is weird.

I have never been to a gender reveal party and likely just wouldn't if I was ever invited to one. I guess this reaction of the parents is why China has 110 males to every 100 females.

Weird that neither parent - at least one of whom would have had to have been present when the sex was determined by an ultrasound scan - or any of their relatives knew the sex but a party planner did. Somebody had to tell her...unless she went along to the scan with the mother-to-be, which would have been odd to say the least.

Both these people need to be sent to a discount vet for desexing. Scumbag humans.

I'm disgusted that some of the comments here are even worse than the story they are written under. Holy smokes, I'm out.

If someone even thinks they might love a child less because of their gender then they simply shouldn't have kids. Even if they get their wish, those are often the kind of parents who hold their kids to their own unrealistic and unfair expectations.

When were gender reveals ever acceptable? They are a stupid money and attention grab for pathetic people. That there are "planners" for such stupidity I suppose isn't too surprising - even circuses need people to sweep up the elephant poop.

Somebody should tell them that's the sperm that determined the gender, so she's not broken.

Whole thing is ignorant and evil

My mum always joked that if I'd been a boy she would have left me at the hospital, but I know full well that it is a JOKE and she would have loved me just the same. These parents are unhinged.

I had a son last year. Didn't wanted this gender reveal b******t, but my wife wanted an excuse for party and presents, so we got one. But we knew the gender beforehand, and we did a simply 3d tic tac toe out of cardboard and styrofoam. Not gonna lie I would like to have a boy and a girl, but that isn't the top priority, I've rather have healthy, happy kids of any gender.

When I was growing up, my Mom told me repeatedly that the only reason she had me was because she wanted a little girl.

I will never understand parents like that... Why have a kid if you are going to be disappointed if they are a girl or a boy??? If that means you will love your kid less... YOU SHOULD NOT BE HAVING KIDS! What if they swap when they are adults? It has the same sick energy of parents who don't want their sons to be gay because they won't have grandkids... SICK!
