ok, so people who have parties and shit like that to announce the sex of their forthcoming kid are lifes biggest assholes.
this is a scientific fact so dont dispute it.
This thread is to out all these assholes and warn society that no one gives a shit if your kid is pink or blue.
If you have any good ones please post.


Here is one that is both awesome, and stupid.
I hope its real, but its prob fake.

Mrs v4 watches this shit way too often. Good ones, fake ones, fail ones, everything. I doubt there is one she hasn't seen, and I doubt there is a "good" one she hasn't tried to show me yet.

The only thing I dislike more than gender reveals, is the people in them that have not put even a small amount of forethought into their reaction if it isn't the gender they're hoping for whilst knowing this is documented online (read: guys if it is pink instead of blue, for the most part). We know a couple that had a girl previously, did a gender reveal for upcoming number 2, and the moment a fxxxtonne of pink balloons came flying out of a box he looked genuinely upset and disappointed. His future daughter is more than likely going to see that shit one day, fxxxing arsehole. I said I dislike when this happens but I actually thrive for it, no one deserves to feel let down by a gender more than those people. You see the fail videos with the kids hugely disturbed that they didn't get a brother, or a sister, but you laugh at that because the kids don't have empathy yet and it is cute. But when you see fathers-to-be looking genuinely distressed at the sight of pink, that lack of empathy is just them being sub-human and I have this level of hope their future daughter holds it against them. Don't breed, and stick to two-up, if you're that set on throwing all your emotions behind coin-flips.

I also know of one person that had a big gender reveal party, and multi-colour balloons popped out and the couple yelled out "you're all going to have to wait to find out!" and it genuinely split their family apart, so many people were hugely offended that it wasn't revealed particularly on purpose :rof: :oops:

its the most pretentious, egotistical shit parents can do.

The authorities are better off arresting these assholes on site at these reveal parties because the kid doesnt have a chance. Either give mum a late term abortion or better still adopt the kid out to a family of decent people.

i am very proud of the fat that ive never been, let alone ever been invited to one of these shitshows.

this is because:

1. Plague would not associate himself with any of these assholes in any way shape or form.
2. Even if some slipped through the cracks and decided to have one of these parties, they would know better than to invite Plague as he would spend the entire time heckling every single moment of these ****ers miserable event.

Video has been released showing how an off-duty Border Patrol agent celebrating his wife’s pregnancy last year accidentally started a 47,000-acre wildfire that took nearly 800 firefighters to extinguish.

Dennis Dickey, 37, of Tucson, Arizona, pleaded guilty last month to igniting the fire, which caused more than $US8.2 million ($A11.3 million) worth of damage in April 2017 when he shot a target containing Tannerite, a legal but highly explosive substance designed to detonate when shot by a high-velocity firearm.
The target was part of Dickey’s pre-planned celebration to announce the gender of the couple’s child and the target contained blue powder for a boy.

The footage shows the flames quickly spreading before a man can be heard yelling: “Start packing up, start packing up”.

As part of Dickey’s plea agreement, he will pay $US100,000 ($A138,000) in restitution upon sentencing on October 9. He’ll also pay monthly $US500 ($A690) instalments for the next two decades and be sentenced to five years of probation.

“It was a complete accident,” Dickey told a judge on Friday. “I feel absolutely horrible about it. It was probably one of the worst days of my life.”

No injuries were reported in the fire but several residents were evacuated from their homes as a precaution.

Dickey, who is expected to keep his job as a Border Patrol agent, will borrow from his retirement fund to pay the restitution.

I have worked hard on this and the acceptable age scale is:
X days (from 1 to 6 days)
X weeks (from 1 to 3 weeks)
X months (from 1 to 11 months)
1 year old
Just over 1
18 months
Nearly 2
X years old (2 years old onwards)
X turning Y years old can also be acceptable for the later part of that year.

If you give me shit outside of that like 15 months I will not talk to you about your kid again.

no, this is too many. although i appreciate your effort.
here is the proper list, and its not up for debate or question.
and to be clear, these are 'milestone' social media posts. if you just want to post photos of your asshole kid then fine. but unless it cures cancer of says "Griff" then piss your half asses celebrations off.

again, here is the list:
*Newborn. although clean that kid up first. especially these c-section ones. i dont want to see your kids, or your missus' blood and guts. this is unacceptable.
*1st Birthday. although just post any photo of the kid at any time of its life i wont know the difference. also, your kid cant read the cards or open the presents so dont pretend. its stupid.
*1st day of school. but spare me how your kid already knows its times tables and can read Harry Potter. it cant, so shut up.
*Uni graduation/1st major qualifications. dont post shit like "oh my god little Lulubelle getting her 3rd Masters degree seemed like yesterday" #uptonumber6 #hecs #still no****ingjob
*marriage. fine, but just one, and just the bride and groom (or whatever combo). no stupid poses, no fancy dressups, no pets.


thats the list. i can barely pretend to care for these. i wont comment on any of them.

Abomination is a great word to describe them. Basically it's exactly the same shit as a baby shower... But the mother drags the husband to attend, and the other women there do the same with their partners.

Basically the "wet the baby's head" is skipped in favour of whatever the **** happens at a baby shower.

I've been invited to 2 that I can remember and didn't go to either. I also didn't speak to the bloke in question for a good month to get over it.

I can't tell if the father feels left out of all the baby shower fun or if the mothers are just controlling arse hats. But either way it's scary for the future of our species to be going down these paths.

I've also got one more that I shudder to even talk about.

It's called a "Huck's party". It's when an idiot bloke decides to settle down in marriage but instead of finding a loving life partner he has chosen one that clearly doesn't trust him.

So instead of allowing the men to enjoy themselves on a night of fun and frivolities the women also attend/chaperone the men and ruin the entire ****ing thing.

I had what seemed like it was going to be a civil conversation about this, turned into a heated argument, with a former coworker. Apparently according to her, a baby shower featuring both men and women is not allowed to be called a Baby Shower but instead a "Bay-BQ" or "Baby Sprinkle", but moreso the first one. She was ferociously defending this opinion, I couldn't fathom a lot of things that went down during all of it. She couldn't answer my question of what if the Bay-BQ did not feature a BBQ, and I was labelled an anti-feminist for questioning it.

Plaguesey, I have some distressing news. Your fellow podcast pal, me, was brought along on the wkend to what I was told was a pool party with the kids. My interpretation was it was to celebrate the hosts daughters birthday, or that the hosts got a new pool and invited everyone over. I get there, however, and am told it is a Pool Party to welcome the new baby arriving soon, and then have multiple people throughout lecturing me on how it can't be called a Baby Shower because men are also invited, and also that you wouldn't go for a swim at a baby shower. I was tricked into going to a baby shower. Luckily I was just able to mind the kids in the pool, and then was able to convince mrs v4 that little kid was cold and we needed to go home early. But apparently now we have to beware of pool parties too. These absurdities are spreading like birds, there is no stopping them.

An account where you both contribute to for things like mortgage, savings etc is fine. As long as you have enough of your own money at your own disposal that's more than acceptable.


I'm talking about couples who have an account that your entire income goes into and then one of the couple dictates where that money goes.

Seeing grown ass men having to ask their wives for their own damn money to go do cool stuff like gamble and buy cocaine is easily one of the most pathetic things I've ever witnessed.

The problem is probably more with people who don't know how to deal with money more than joint accounts. I know couples where the husbands refuse to give up more than a 50/50 share and the wife is always struggling to provide for the child. Basically the blokes thinks they only need to pay half the bills and mortgage/rent and anything else is his to waste on the weekends. Always seems to forget about clothes, toys and hobbies for the kid. Those people IMO are jerks.

Yeah, I wasn't trying to cause real offence with my little dig. But I'll keep it a bit more civilized for those reading in.

I actually don't know who first discussed it, but it was probably me. I organise the funds to make sure everything is paid on time and stuff so it makes sense to have all our money available to do so.

But she has her hobbies and I never have to ask to go out anywhere or buy anything that we can afford. It's only larger items (bikes, holidays, etc) that get discussed, but that seems normal to me also.

To be honest, I assumed that joint accounts were the norm. I studied commerce/accounting at Uni for a little while and have some smarts when it comes to financial planning and it seems a no-brainer to me.

I can see the bonus on how some others and i do it, in regards to the everyday account for household purchases which we budgeted and came to an amount to pay in each month. (when we have a surplus, either it goes towards savings or a purchase we usualy dont do via the Joint Account).

But pooling all resources eh nah not down for that, (also tax reasons here in switzerland, dont want to do it either)

WTF. Why would I keep money from my wife? Why would she keep money from me? Do you guys know what marriage is?

Is the separate accounts thing to evade tax or something? I can't fathom a single reason, unless one account is a trust/investment.

Not married.. yet.... but yeah in switzerland its def a tax thing, not to pool all resources together...
Goes along with our pension system and social insurance system etc etc too.
