This is so sad. As many of us would love to be pregnant with any healthy baby, regardless of gender, stories like these are heartbreaking. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2203028 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 12:29:38 +0000 Happygal 2203028@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That would have been one awkward reveal party if the results were different.</p> <p>I wouldn't have gone in the first place so I wouldn't have to e involved in such weird drama. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202938 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 11:09:23 +0000 BabyBoecksMom 2202938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not sure I know how to respond to that... I mean, yes, I I dealt with gender disappointment both times... but I never in my life could say I wouldn't want my child. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202827 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:40:53 +0000 kiddosc 2202827@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why would you have a party if you really felt that way? LOL, this is just so trashy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202777 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 09:00:49 +0000 catomd00 2202777@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's pretty obvious how most people would feel about this. Sorry but I think it's really wrong to put her on blast online for a bunch of strangers who have no idea what she is going through to judge her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202748 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 08:39:52 +0000 blackbird 2202748@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mail her some condoms and birth control as a gift </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202559 Tue, 09 Jun 2015 00:18:16 +0000 Torchwood 2202559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Pen: It varies from state to state, but for many (most?), yes, you need a medical reason that late. </p> <p>This is all very wtf. Knowing she's 17 does maybe explain it a little, but it does not excuse it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2202439 Mon, 08 Jun 2015 20:23:48 +0000 littleblessings 2202439@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mae: no she is serious. My step mom even confirmed it. /: it would be an adoption done though. I was floored when she told me.<br /> @regberadaisy: that's ridiculous. You have as many kids as you want. The sex of the child shouldn't matter. People think cuz I have both sexes now that I should be done. /: annoying!<br /> @gracecat: apparently only a few people know about it. I was floored and will not go to the baby shower. I am done supporting her right now!<br /> @maybebaby: more like she wanted to make her mom adopt it if it was a girl. Her mom seemed completely okay with it!<br /> @hellobeeboston: it is for real. Sad but real. And she said this all in front of our Aunt that has struggled with infertility.<br /> @simplyfelicity: I hope so too.<br /> @Mrs. Pen: I have no clue what is wrong with a girl. She is due in September though.<br /> @junebugsmama: sad thing it was not a joke. dead serious. She said if it was a girl she would hate her and make her mom adopt her.<br /> @MoonMoon: pretty much. She's also 17 which doesn't make things better<br /> @yoursilverlining: I'm disgusted over it all. It's her life though. Nothing I can do about it. I hope she moves back to her hometown and away from here. I don't think I could look at that baby boy knowing had he been a girl he wouldn't have her as a mom. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201640 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 23:11:51 +0000 winter_wonder 2201640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Reading this makes me sick to my stomach.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201638 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 23:03:31 +0000 yoursilverlining 2201638@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think if she plans to give a girl baby up for adoption or abort, it's too bad she's having a child at all because she clearly has no business having children of any gender. </p> <p>Sounds like there's plenty of hot mess going around. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201635 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 22:34:15 +0000 ALV91711 2201635@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Why would you be having a party if that is how you felt?

I'm imagining a typical gender reveal party, but with a dystopian twist if it had been a girl? What the what? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201604 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:20:17 +0000 mrsbubbletea 2201604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have heard at least two people joke about giving their babies away (one was if it was a girl--she had a tense relationship with her mom and her mom with her grandma, and the other was my aunt joking that my cousin would give her boy to me). I think those are the weirdest jokes to make. I don't get how that's even a smidge funny. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201598 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:16:27 +0000 Mrs. Pen 2201598@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If she found out the gender she had to be about halfway through her pregnancy, right? Don't you have to have a medical reason to abort after 20 weeks?<br /> That's where I draw a line in the sand concerning abortion. So, so wrong.<br /> This woman sounds like she needs help. What's wrong with a girl anyway? She's a girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201595 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:10:35 +0000 simplyfelicity 2201595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ummmm...I don't even know how to process this. Usually, people have gender reveal parties as a lighthearted way to celebrate the gender-- what ever it might be. If I understand correctly, your sister had a let's--see-if-I-should-keep-it party. I am at a loss and I hope for dear life that your sister is done having children after this little boy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201592 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:07:59 +0000 Ginabean3 2201592@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Really?

Yikes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201589 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 21:02:28 +0000 gracecat 2201589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What the f$&amp;@?!?! I can't believe people think like that!! how sad.... Do the people around her know this and if so, what are they saying about it? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201583 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:56:17 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2201583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't know what's up with you not being invited, but as far as her not keeping the baby based on gender, that is flat out stupid and selfish. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201568 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:19:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2201568@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@regberadaisy: WHAT??????

I flipped the f out when I was told this. The persons response? "Everyone" does it because why would you support three girls??? What are you going to do? Keep having kids till you get a boy?<br /> I was beyond disgusted and said those people shouldn't have a child then. Disgusting. And infuriating. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201563 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:13:11 +0000 FaithFertility 2201563@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I truly can't even comment, so I am just saying nothing!!!!<br /> I pray for her heart </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201562 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:12:30 +0000 Mae 2201562@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel like this can't be a real person... (unless she was kidding?) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/gender-reveal-party-how-would-you-feel#post-2201551 Sun, 07 Jun 2015 20:05:04 +0000 littleblessings 2201551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay so today my sister had a reveal party. For one I wasn't invited. My dad forced her to invite me. My second point is that she refuses to keep the baby if it's a girl. Luckily it's a boy but still her refusal of a girl finds me absolutely flabbergasted. How would you feel going to a party and hearing "if it's a girl I don't want it! I don't want a girl at all"? </p>
