Funeral or reveal party?
April 11, 2018 at 9:17 am

Your adopted son's funeral and your daughter's baby gender reveal party are on the same day, in different states. Which do you go to, if either, and why?
EDIT: Whoopsie daisy. No poll. Ahh, well. This is all about the convo.

But I wanted a poll.

Baby party, for sure. I don't do funerals. I don't even plan on being there for my own. Plus..you said the fucker was adopted right? Psh, not even my realkin.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Quote:Gender reveal parties are one of the hottest trends among today’s expectant parents. They’ve been going on for at least eight years, but in case you aren’t familiar, gender reveal parties are meant to be exactly what they imply: getting a group of friends and/or family together with the expectant parents for a party, and “revealing” the baby’s gender at one time so that everyone present can celebrate the biological sex of the upcoming birth. The “reveal” portion of the party can be done in a variety of ways, most of which can be unearthed by investing some time into a Google or Pinterest search.

Wow I can't believe that's even a decision to make. You go to the funeral. A gender reveal party is as bad as a baby shower.

It gives closure which is why it is 'obsessed' over.

Funeral, and I'd be disappointed my daughter didn't postpone her stupid party for her brother's funeral. Not that I'd go to the Gender Reveal party even if she did, because Gender Reveal parties are dumb. Just post "It's a boy!" or "It's a girl!" on facebook like normal people.
"Tradition" is just a word people use to make themselves feel better about being an asshole.

Funeral, out of respect. I have no respect for excuse parties.
