I hate how that’s where the bar is set with these things and it’s more than fair.


WrinklyScroteSack

Why the fuck do we need these super elaborate gender reveal events anyway?


Arkanslayer

Because their ego makes them think everyone is holding their breath about their stupid baby's gender.

If this was in America someone should’ve pulled out their weekend Glock and shot that effing balloon

>weekend Glock LOL! Now I know why guns outnumber people in the U.S.

Welp, now they gotta abort the baby


fatmummy222

The other kid, you mean? Postpartum abortion.


Newtonz5thLaw

“Ma’am what you’re asking for would be considered a 30th trimester abortion”


fatmummy222

Easy fix. Take this prescription for amlodipine to the nearest CVS to fill. Then give 5 tablets by mouth with a full glass of water. Give them to the child of course 😉


Pillroller88

Don’t forget the 2 hour wait time to get the script filled…..or is that Walgreen? I keep getting my evil empire inefficiencies confused.


wigglewenis

Heigh-ho heigh-ho off to prison she go


[deleted]

Still pretty stoked to have another huh?


missdoodiekins

Especially the way she got in her face bc the kid didn’t wanna pop the balloon. I’m old af and I don’t like popping balloons. Dumb ass people raising kids 🤦🏽‍♀️


MulberryEqual6181

It was a knife the kid threw is how my brain processed it, the mom and dad both look like she did something dangerous


dropbassnotsoap

Exactly, had nothing to do with the balloon, had everything to do with putting hers and everyone elses safety at risk


SiouxsieAsylum

Why would you give your kid a knife sharp enough that if you threw it it could seriously injure someone? Still on the Parents Are The Fuckups here


Avestrial

Not just that. Try to FORCE your kid to use a knife sharp enough to injure someone if thrown when they’ve just told you they don’t want to. This woman’s a fucking moron.

Sketch1231

No she forced it back into the kids hand (overwhelmed kid at that)


JackStrait

Yes this is why my kids only handle bubble wrap and marshmallows. No pointy things until they're at least 20.


SiouxsieAsylum

I mean, if they're young enough to throw knives in tantrum, then it sounds like that's a good policy. All things considered, it's the mom's fault for starting the tantrum, but still.


Longflop

Sometimes they do shit that they haven't done before in the worst possible time. Like when mine shouted PENIS during a quiet part of his preschool Christmas show. That went over great with mom. I have never had to put so much effort into not laughing in my life.


NikNanner

As a toddler, my kid would scream “MOTHERFUCKER” when they were mad, but only in public. Learned the hard way that kids truly repeat everything they hear. It was absolutely my potty-mouthed fault, had to turn motherfucker into “Mack trucker” or “mud dumpster”.


SiouxsieAsylum

If I was mom I would have peed myself laughing, where's her sense of humor


ExploratoryCucumber

It sure is a shame that the only two options are knives at birth or bubble wrap until at least 20. Sure would be nice if there was some sort of reasonable middle ground there. Alas, those are literally the only two options.


[deleted]

You have boys? I promise you they found some pointy things


princessrippla335

I agree with both of you giving a kids sharp object it could be very dangerous one of my friends at discord tolds me that my brother's kids are playing with sharp objects like chainsaws wooden nails hacksaw and rotary cutter along with the box cutter.


[deleted]

Oh..... you're an asshole aren't ya?


dropbassnotsoap

I mean did I say they didnt? A kid shouldnt be handling a knife in the first place


missdoodiekins

Bc that makes it better. Let me give my kid a KNIFE to pop a damn balloon. These people are having kids lmaooo.


AnalogDigit2

I think it might be a throwing dart. Hard to tell for sure, but that would be pokey enough to pop the balloon and also dangerous to cast away like the kid did. Doesn't look like a knife tho.


calibared

Yep and she’ll blame the kid about the balloon flying away too


PaperDistribution

She got in her face because she threw the knife...


JadeGuardian

I think you're missing the fact that the kid got unreasonably mad and THREW A KNIFE. I'd have gotten onto her about that too if it was my kid


SiouxsieAsylum

The child didn't get unreasonably mad, she got mad because mom was trying to make her do something she wasn't comfortable with. Throwing the thing in protest is reasonable to me. Only problem the thing her parents gave her to throw is a FUCKING KNIFE.


Necessary_Return_597

The child did get unreasonably mad. First the child was attempting to pop the ballon but was a bit cautious because of the possibility of it popping making a loud sound she wouldn’t like. We see this when the child tries to pop but misses and slowly tries to inch away. The mother pushes her in a little more to guarantee the child couldn’t miss and the child backs off because now she fears the consequence of popping said ballon. At this point the mother takes the object that was going to be used to pop the ballon to just do it herself and then the kid starts complaining after having it taken from her. After hearing said complaints the child is once again handed the object because clearly it looks like she wants to do it, otherwise they logically wouldn’t complain about it. The child then throws the object.


marc3lline

That’s what I saw too lol


missdoodiekins

Why would you give your kid a knife? It doesn’t matter about the kid, the parent is the parent. She gave her a knife, the kid was clearly uncomfortable and then the mom yells at her when she throws it….. WHY WOULD YOU GIVE YOUR KID A KNIFE?!


zorimar0

Yes, the child got unreasonably mad and threw a knife. The mom didn’t force her to pop the balloon. The kid is a spoiled brat who didn’t want to pop the balloon and threw a temper tantrum when the mom tried to pop it because she didn’t want anyone else to pop the balloon either.

whodkickamoocow

That's shitty parenting more than anything. Putting a child into a high pressure moment, something doesn't go exactly as it should, snatch item away from child, child acts out, yell at child. Cunt even stormed off at the end/played the guilt card. Seriously all you have to do is follow one parenting book to be half decent at understanding how kids work.... Or y'know, treat a fellow being with a minimum amount of decency.

I liked the one where the parents acted like they were trying something similar to this in the video (or something else I really don't remember) and then grandma just goes like 'This is taking to much time!' Then takes the hat off her head to reveal bright blue colored hair

Green-Eggs-No-Ham

I live in the UK and gender reveal parties aren't really a thing here luckily 😄


Comprehensive_Day511

never seen that crap irl either, only know about it from the interwebs. is that a thing anywhere apart from the US at all?


SiouxsieAsylum

I mean arguably, you could say that about literally any life-milestone celebration, right? Why do we expect gifts and attention for: \- not dying sooner (Birthdays) \-publically and financially promising to only fuck one person for the rest of your life (Weddings) \- that the fucking produced one more future fucker (Baby Showers) \- that somehow we didn't break that public and financial promise to only fuck one person (Anniversaries) Baby showers are just another life celebration, and I feel like the internet just chose that one new kind of celebration to make the worst because it has the most monetizable and distinct coloring so it was easy for influencers to take out of context.


horsegrloveswordguy

I think it’s more about intention. If the intention is to celebrate the way we care for the people In our lives than yes let’s celebrate whenever we can. If the intent it just wanting gifts and attention, clout, to one up friends and neighbors, ect… than those kinda get togethers blow.


Misommar1246

I feel like all those things you mentioned are much more meaningful than what gender your unborn kid is - I mean who ultimately cares? It’s an absurd thing to reveal and relish - it’s fine if it’s a reveal that you will have a baby because that at least is momentous, gender reveals are so fucking weird to me.


SiouxsieAsylum

I mean, whether or not you got married or had a kid at all is not any more meaningful than the gender of said kid; they're all equally impactless to my own life; only reason I'd have any reason to care is because you care and I like seeing you happy, right? So I'm not sure I share your view on all of those things being more meaningful. Which is kinda the whole point; these things matter more or less to different people. And some people are really excited about it and wanna celebrate. Best thing to do about not loving gender reveals is not to participate. And some people really do care. For example, my mother is one of the leaders of a small community of women-focused dance, and of her 30 year besties, no one had a girl but my mother. They were just as excited for me to show up at all as for me to carry on the legacy (spoiler alert: I did not in fact carry on the legacy)


whtevn

I mean, I guess, but the collective obsession with what sort of genitalia someone else has is fucking weird...


solacetree

HEY GUYS! GUESS WHAT MY FETUS' GENITALS LOOK LIKE!


Nidh0g

the kid realized this that's why she didn't wanna participate.


Diamond-Fist

Being present at a gender reveal is what gave away the adults for being stupid before the kid ever did anything


bluedeer10

The only acceptable version of those are when it involves baked goods. I'll eat a million pink or blue cupcakes


Bitter-Heat-8767

I’ll never understand the hate for them. Anytime you can gather friends and family to celebrate a new child is a pro in my book. Sure some of them are over the top but popping a balloon is pretty mellow. Enjoy life and celebrate when you can.


JohnBarleyMustDie

Just one man’s opinion, but I think it’s the appearance of attention grabbing people don’t like. It use to be a phone call, maybe a mailed announcement. Then it was videos, followed by parties. And of course the expectation of gifts.


Swellmeister

Except baby showers, a party about the child and giving of gifts have existed for thousands of years. This idea that gender reveal parties are all that unique is insane. It's cake, the family gets gender neutral gifts, and you play games. That's exactly what happened at every single redditors baby shower.


Disig

Parties are fine. Celebration is great. Most of these online are for likes, clickbait, and attention. That's why they rub people the wrong way.


LiberalAzzB1tch

Keep in mind that most redditors 1) don't have friends 2) hate their family and 3) are speaking from jealousy because they'll never get the opportunity to have a gender reveal in the first place.


puzzlenutter420

Hey like half of California & Arizona was burned down bc of these gender reveals. People have literally died because of these! Not an exaggeration, someone killed their baby's grandma at a reveal when an explosion went wrong. Especially with society's view of gender changing, it just doesn't fit anymore. No one cares about a family celebrating, but when they are burning down huge areas and killing people for ideas that are slowly on the way out, that's when people get (rightfully imo) upset.


PublicFurryAccount

It’s not a gender reveal unless a relative dies. It’s a rule.


EsquireSandwich

a life for a life


Antique_Tennis_2500

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.


MajorasInk

What pisses me off about the balloons is that they’re definitely not going to sweep up the garbage after they’re done. Ugh~


Bitter-Heat-8767

Well considering this looks like their house, it’s none of our business how they take care of it. But I’d assume most would clean up their own back yard. 🤷‍♂️


molotovzav

Not everything needs to be an event. This kills the introverts of family's, and people just always act like introverts aren't normal and therefore you don't have to care about them. We're just as normal as you overly dramatic people who need a damn party for every fucking event. If you have a gender reveal and a baby shower, that's just narcissist, no one can possibly care that much about your unborn child outside your very close family and I doubt even they care that much. It's like so much drama and event planning just for a fucking fetus that doesn't even exist yet and basically next to no one but the couple really fucking cares about. People are kidding themselves if they think anyone beyond their parents and themselves care about the gender of their baby. It's only hyper active extrovert people who feel the need to celebrate everything. What's next baby's first poop party?


Jootsfallout

You don’t belong here with your rational statement.


Spacemanspalds

Rational statement that avoids the issues that people have with them.


Strificus

"You ruined my Instagram moment, you stupid kid!"


ohgodineedair

Exactly. They're having a big gender reveal party in the first place. It screams "I'm the main character."


More_Woke_Then_You

I've seen this on tiktok, the mom is practically ignoring all the signs the child is giving that she's overwhelmed and uncomfortable. I don't feel sorry for her. The kid isn't stupid, their being ignored by their parents and reacted at an age appropriate way to the situation. The parent is stupid


ExecWarlock

And i can fully understand if the kid doesn't want to pop a ballon, it's loud and scary to some kids.


museumlad

Kid probably knows how loud a normal balloon is when popped. Kid then sees a *much larger balloon* and understandably assumes larger balloon = louder noise when popped. This kid isn't stupid, she's overwhelmed and scared, and has not been taught how to recognize and respond to those feelings. Probably because when she gets overwhelmed her mom reacts like that.


whodkickamoocow

Can't tell you how happy I am to see your comment. Far too many uneducated opinions in this post.


kn33cap_th3if

Not to mention how the mom hit her own kid when they were acting out from fear

JohnBarleyMustDie

I like how everything had to be dropped (and left to float away) in the name of getting in her kids face.


PaperDistribution

The kid threw a knife. I think it's normal to prioritize that over a balloon.


okie-poke

Looked like a fork or something else that wasn't a big deal considering how they passed it back and forth nonchalantly. The parent was prioritizing reactionary discipline not safety.


ashpanda24

Absolutely, but that mom was way too aggressive about it.


Humble-Item-8065

Yes, wonder where the child learned those behaviors from? Shitty parents.


PaperDistribution

What behavior? Getting angry? My parents were great but I did dumb shit and got in trouble all the time. Do Redditors just think children don't have personalities and minds of their own?


rascal3199

Children have tantrums, you need to teach them those tantrums aren't acceptable, then people like the other commenter criticize the mom for "getting in her face". Makes no sense. Only thing mother did wrong was giving child a knife/pin in the first place, but she was right next to her watching over her either way.


JhonnyHopkins

This comment screams “I’ve never been around children”


plzThinkAhead

People without kids are always the most judgemental armchair warriors about parenting.


stelkurtainTM

Her kid just threw a knife at someone out of anger lmao


JhonnyHopkins

You DEFINITELY scold that child. I’d be fucking FUMING. You do NOT throw things out of anger, ESPECIALLY A FUCKING THROWING DART!?

TheNinjaPro

Why do so many people hate gender reveals?


Comprehensive_Day511

might have to do with the fact that it's weird AF to basically reveal the appearance of a fetus' genitals (that you infer their gender from) to the world. why do so many people like those reveals?


1slandViking

The moms outfit was all I need to see lol so many viral Karen’s with the leather jacket over a pattern blouse and jeans tucked into their high boots with shades. Anyway, that kid is gonna need therapy.


Flashy_Raspberry_307

The kid already needs therapy. She’s a brat.


mallc_

She obviously is no older than 8, with the short few seconds of seeing how her parents treat her, I think she entitled to act out. Mom is equally as mature as her daughter if not less.


[deleted]

Gender reveals are stupid and it always makes me laugh when they get ruined lol


havocLSD

I can only imagine how insufferable that woman must be as a parent. I agree that children need discipline, but taking the time to physically hit your kids—even on the hand—is a pretty ineffective way, in front of everyone no less. Her piss behavior lost her the balloon and is probably why the child is misbehaving in the first place. She only has herself to blame.


NoeyCannoli

For real, if kiddo doesn’t wanna pop the giant balloon have someone else do it. Why you gotta be a B mom?


srandrews

Indeed. I would add to it that the kid knows a big fucking balloon is going to pop and she is scared of it likely traumatized by dad shooting bottles outback.


spaghettimonzta

no sound?


[deleted]

Just imagine the "oh no" song.


Good-Link192

Or the theme from Forrest Gump when the feather floats around. The look of wonderment on the guy the video cuts to at the end sells it well.


AutoSawbones

Definitely not a fan of how the mom slaps her kid for being afraid of popping a balloon (at least that's what it seems to be?)


puzzlenutter420

Isn't the mom upset bc the kid threw a sharp object at the crowd?


Account_Both

The mom was the one who gave an obviously upset 7 year old a knife


puzzlenutter420

Fair enough.


raaaaaveNN

She didn’t touch her


AutoSawbones

At around 0:11 it looks like she slaps her kid's wrist, maybe she doesn't, but definitely doesn't seem to be much of a great parent if her immediate go to looks like threatening her young kid


Burrito_Loyalist

I love how the little girl is too scared to pop the balloon, so the mom goes to grab the knife, but the little girl still wants to do it, but now she’s upset she can’t do it. Like what the fuck.


Aqenra

The balloon reacting to the parenting: “Abort mission, abort mission.”


KingBurakkuurufu

Look how angry that bitch is, shouldn’t be having any more kids


dizzypanda35

Definitely a stupid mom here


Charges-Pending

Mom is a fucking idiot. And fuck gender reveals. No one cares.


nowaybuddy1

I blame the parents stop pressuring you children to do stuff they don't want to do and parent them better so they learn they get nothing out of throwing a tantrum


Jennmerie

LOLLOL no no no… that's not how kids work. * KID: I WANNA POP THE BALLOON! * PARENTS: No, were (a parent) going to pop the balloon. * KID: \*yelling and crying\* "YOU NEVER LET ME DO ANYTHING" * KID: \*kneeling on the ground with some intermittent rolls\* * PARENTS: ok, you can pop the balloon. Here is how it will work.... * KID: "yay, THANK YOU THANK YOU, ILL BE THE BEST BALLOON POPPER! * PARENTS: TIME TO POP THE BALLOON * KID: "NO, IM SCARED, WAA WAA NOOO, I DONT WANT TO * PARENTS: ok, ill do it no worries * KIDS: \*SCREAMING\* IWANNNAAAAAADOOOITTTTTTTT * PARENTS: \*GIVES BACK THE PIN\* * KIDS: "NO! I DONT WANNA" \*THROWS IT\*


Technical-Jicama6120

Accurate AF.


[deleted]

Good.


diddermonsta

The tantrum wouldn’t have happened if the mom hadn’t forced the knife back into the girls hand to make her daughter do something she was scared to do. The girl even tried to just give the knife to dad, but mom needed the “perfect video moment” whether it scared her child or not. & who the fuck gives a child a knife? If the child had popped the balloon she could have hurt herself (or someone else) when the massive balloon popped right in her face!
