When my wife and I were expecting we wanted to keep the sex a surprise. I used every opportunity to be a pain in the ass about it. "Do you know what you're having?" "Well we suspect it's human but I who knows." "Boy or girl?" "No idea, they'll probably let us know at some point."

Amazing how bonkers it drove some people. Can't recommend it enough for this reason alone.

“No idea, they’ll probably let us know at some point.”

"Idk, maybe we'll know within 30 years?" was my response when my mom asked me to guess if our nibbling was a boy or girl and she just changed the topic immediately.

Other good options

"Is it a boy or a girl"

"Yes" / "One of those" / "Almost certainly" etc

Or "Not necessarily" to leave the nonbinary option open :)

The gender will be revealed by an explosion at the gender reveal party when it is time.

Wonder what they think when the smoke is just orange and full of glitter.

I plan to do one for each of my kids when they turn 40.

Let them organize it themselves once they are old enough to decide

Your religion doesn't recognize the gender reveal bomber?

I too vote to scrap sex reveal parties and instead use gender reveals when the kid chooses their gender

Already starting with the dad jokes before their child was born?

[–] Wfh@lemmy.zip 5 points 3 months ago

That's how you know. The pregnancy test is just for confirmation.

[–] MidsizedSedan@lemmy.world 5 points 3 months ago

Do you know what is is?

I can't tell.

You can tell me I'm a doctor.
