And…what about “Gender Reveal” Parties….is this necessary? Honestly….be honest…don’t lie and say,”Yes, they’re the best thing that ever happened to America, I don’t know how we lived without them!!!!” because you and I both know you’re full of BS! Am I the only one that feels this is a step above ridiculous?? Back in my day😂….1998 to be exact (God bless that day that Derek Scott Seymour was born!) We had one thing to wear for Maternity clothing…TENTS! We had one or two baby showers (if friends from work wanted to throw a separate shower) it was just ladies, and we had fun, opened presents and that was it….the end! Simple!! That was ENOUGH!!! No wonder people are sooooooo stressed out these days! We are pushing ourselves to out-do each other constantly!!! Too many things to do to impress each other!!!!! And these are babies we are talking about, not a new car, house or job….a sweet little human that doesn’t need all this hoopla!!!! I was watching a show with Derek the other day (God bless my sweet boy…he’s a romantic and loves to see people dating, getting married, having babies, etc 😍) and this young couple had the family go out to a field so that one brother could blow up a box (target practice with his gun!) and blue powder came out…..so yes, you guessed it …they’re having a boy! Ok, really? Who gives a rat’s ass! Whatever happened to:
1. Pick up the phone and dial a number.
2. Saying,”Hi, guess what! We’re having a boy!”
3. Saying “Goodbye”.
What’s wrong with that?
And not only that…the blue powder..all I could think of is Allergy-related asthma….I had a hard time focusing on the show because my squirrel brain switched off to,”Where’s my Inhaler”….I felt my lungs itching as that stupid blue powder covered the field…”This can’t be good for the environment !” I thought. I feel like Rip Van Winkle or Sleeping Beauty, and I woke up to discover after years of napping that everyone is NUTS!!!!! What happened to Simplicity and just being present? Thank goodness I am not having more babies or I would just totally disappoint in 2018….I’d be walking around in my tent dress and paneled pants with my fat neck and swollen ankles, while other cute pregnant girls have their clothes stretched tight across their bellies! Oh well, every generation is different. Let’s hope if I ever become a grandma, that my kids return to simple and sweet! I’ll be standing there arms crossed saying, “No Gender Reveal parties here!”
