to think that my stupid sister is an idiot as she has just outed the gender of her bump on facebook?

[nickelbabe]

She was asked on Facebook by me and a couple of her other fb friends that she not put what the sex of her bump is (she's 22weeks). She's managed that fine on her own posts, but she's commented on one of her friend's statuses thus:
"Alls well here....Bump getting a little bigger, been spending lots of money on clothes for him....." (forgive her punctuation errors - she hardly ever went to school )

how stupid is she?????

surely she knows that I can see all the posts she's written, not just the posts that she's started?

I'm soooooooooo mad at her.

why are you angry? it is her baby(sorry confused)

and I have asked her in real life not to tell me what the gender will be - she knopws how important the surprise is (she managed with DN)

Why? It's her bump.

Oooh, not very bright. No wonder you are mad at her!

did she want to keep it a secret then?

I'm afraid it isn't up to you, my dear... Why not just celebrate her boy instead of getting annoyed?

It's not your baby. It's your problem. You could've removed YOURSELF from facebook.

not getting the issue..isn't it her bump/her baby and therefore her choice? or am i missing something?

That's a bit harsh. If you don't want to know things about her then don't read her fb messages.

You are nuts. It's her baby. What on earth does it matter to you?

it's not that she's telling people, it's that she was asked not to put it on FB because she knows I don't want to know, but she did put it one FB - like she thought I wouldn't see her post.

Why are you mad at her? Why wouldn't you want to know? She knows so it's not a surprise for you , I'm baffled

YABU.

why should she keep it secret? its her baby

but i didn't know she was going to out the sex until I saw the "him" on the post!!

Well isn't it up to her if she wants to talk/refer to the sex of her baby openly. She shouldn't have to keep it secret if she doesn't want to/isn't able to!

I say this as someone who never wanted to find out and doesn't like knowing about others but recognising that its none of my business unless the baby is mine!

But if she's having the baby, and she's wanted to find out, it is up to her.
I can see why you'd be a bit pissed off, but yabu to be as angry as you seem to be.

ok was a mistake on her part but really its her bump and up to her if she wants to disclose sex.

think it's a bit ott to be so ragging at her

oh, x post.

Actually, I think you are being a bit unreasonable.

Do you just want her to keep it a secret from you or are you expecting her to not say anything to anyone?

I really don't think she should have to keep you in the front of her mind at all times and watch what she says about her unborn child so that you don't come to know the gender!

Eh?? Why are you so angry about this?

Surely it's up to her and her DH whether or not they share the gender???

'How important the surprise is'. You have no right to expect someone else's baby's gender to be kept a surprise because you want a surprise .

Here ya go love . You're welcome.

Why is the surprise element so important to you?

but it is her news you can't expect her to keep it a secret just because you don't want to know(although I understand as I would prefer not to know)
