The thing is, people ask, 'are you going to find out the sex?' and I say yes, and then they start going on about all the reasons why we shouldn't.
I realise that it isn't the end of the world or anything, but AIBU to think that we've made the decision that is right for us as a couple, and people should respect that and mind their own bloody business? It seems that they think it will be more exciting for them for it to be a surprise or something.
For us, the reasons we have decided to find out, (if they can tell us, obviously), are that it would be easier to plan a nursery, even though we don't plan to go mad pink or blue, it will help us with choosing a name, and my DH is really excited about finding out. I want him to feel as involved and attached to the bump as possible, so I feel that being able to refer to it as 'he' or 'she' rather than 'it' will help with that.
Fair enough, other people make different decisions and I understand why they may choose to keep it as a surprise, but why do they feel they have the right to tell me what I should be doing? Like I said, I know it's not that big a deal and that there is probably a lot more if this sort of thing to come, but I am getting pissed off and am likely to snap at the next person that does it!
Sorry, it got long, needed to vent!
