To think this is a bit much?

[Chamomiletea]

Baby shower invite has a FAQ section;

• No we don't know the sex of our baby and we won't be finding out, part of this is to have a surprise and the other part is to prevent reinforcing gender norms (which is something we will be trying to prevent throughout our parenting journey due to its link to an increase sexual and domestic violence rates especially in teenagers).

,

Lol!

Bless them. Any other good bits?

PFB by any chance?

Of course it's a PFB - just a bit of blabber about not being a sexist event so men are welcome

The actual response or the fact there is a faq section or The fact it seems they are throwing their own shower@ yes too much to all of the above. ...except if I'm honest I'd quite like yo know what else is in the faq !

Lol

Did they provide a source or at least a link for this particular claim? I'd like to read it if so

Well, I think they sound like nice, insightful people.

They are up against the weight of society though. And, shit friends.

Haha!
Please post the rest

Omg they are ridiculous. Are they this daft normally or has the pfb madness taken over?

@EllaHen are you one of the parents?!

Horrendous

LOL
It's like those childless couples who say things like, "I'd never let my child do/have/be like that"
Then you see them as a parent and they allow all those things for a quiet life.

I always find things like this hilarious. With my PFB I was a bit similar maybe not to that extent though. I knew I was having a boy but was convinced MY boy wouldn't be obsessed with cars and round things and snot etc. We would spend sunny days playing with tasteful, wooden, gender neutral toys . It's not worked out quite as I imagined .

Ooh that is priceless. An FAQ section.

Yes, my first boy was never ever ever going to have toy guns or any sort of weapons. He just made them out of Duplo as soon as he was able. By the time I got to the third boy we had a whole arsenal of weaponry in the house.

Hassled - mine too!!!! I was sure he'd never even seen a gun but he somehow knew how to make one and what sounds it made!

I wonder how you reinforce gender norms whilst the baby is still in utero 🤔

Dear God, an FAQ section.

Next thing you know, they'll have set up a telephone advice line to field the flood of enquiries they clearly believe their event will attract.

Another one to file under D for Delusional.

Rearrange this well known phase

Own arses up their

I would be tempted to buy 2 gift blankets, one pink one blue with gift receipts.

Make sure you take a pink balloon and a blue balloon OP

Ah x post with sparkling!

what the actual f*ck?!
