So Im just curious.....if you get to find out the sex of the baby by peeing on soap....what do you need a doctor for?
I mean, yah, you have to buy specific type of soap, but itll still be cheaper than that specific type of doctor., Right?
Im sure Mr. Irish Springs went to school for atleast 2 years to determine the sex of an unborn child...& hey, if it doesn't work now. Try it once the baby is born...still got a 50% chance of properly predicting the gender right?
I think Ill dish out the extra money and go with what my doctor says tho....I'd hate to be pissing on a soap bar for the duration of my pregnancy...
Also...Im sure Mr. Irish Springs wouldnt mind your second baby shower....but then again...with all the money you saved by using that as a means of gender prediction....why do you need a second shower? You should be able to afford a second of anything you want...
OR.....you can send out a second invitation for Baby#2 and let everyone know that for every extra present they bring will allow them to see the second child. but if they dont come with presents then they can only see Baby#1, the one they bought presents for, since thats the only one they seem to care about.
But...honestly...in my opinion...unless you have 2 stomach protruding or end up being the first man to have twins...I think you'd best start sticking to proper etiquette, otherwise, Im a little afraid of what your children will be trying as they get older....
EDIT: do you really want to tell your children you peed on a soap bar to find out they were boys or girls...?
You can't have a separate shower for each baby. That is tacky tacky tacky.
Don't tell me it's tacky. I think it's tacky not to give each child their own time in the spotlight.
Are you going to give each child their own birthday..? if so, which child will be loved more and get the day they were actually born? or will you request a midnight C-section so they can actually have their own days?
You should make them knife fight and the winner gets the birthday and cake. Loser gets no presents or cake. You can start them with sporks when they are toddlers.
So you're saying to Mrotate it every year based on looks?
Absolutely.
I'm lurking from Jan16 but I just wanted to say that my sisters had birthdays that were ALMOST the same day in March.
I'm pretty sure my parents decided to give the birthday party to whichever sister had the most earning potential at the time. They've always been concerned about which kid will put them in the best nursing home.
Just another way to look at things really. I think that's a very economical and unique way of going about it.
You bring up a good point. I think we'll alternate each year who's birthday we celebrate first.
DH never got a birthday party because he has two older brothers, he got their old presents. His twin sister on the other hand got the special treatment every year. I believe this ended up being very cost effective for them.
