2nd Trimester

grrr.. in-law vent
We saw my in-laws last night and it turns out that they don't want to know whether the baby is a boy or a girl (we find out tomorrow - yayyy!) However, we know way too many of the same people that if we find out and tell everyone else, they will definitely find out before February. Anyway, too bad for them because we are finding out and we are telling people.
I'm just annoyed that they are pouting about it. We had a whole dinner planned for tomorrow night with both our families to reveal the gender and now I feel like they're going to put a damper on it. Plus, my father in-law is extremely outspoken so I'm sure he'll tell everyone how "it should be a surprise" blah blah... I guess I'm just bummed that it won't be all happiness and excitement like I thought. 
Oh and get this - we are probably going to keep the name a secret (so that there will be one big surprise at the end) and they disagree and think we should tell them the name! Total hypocrisy!
ok, in-law vent over. sorry so long!

So let me get this straight.. they don't want to know the sex, but they want you to tell them the name? LOL!
That is just plain stupid. If they were my inlaws and that hung about about not finding out I would tell them not to come to the dinner. This is your baby! You have the right to tell whoever you want. Some people have nerve.
I would still invite them over but tell them if they do come, you will be letting the gender known.
I mean how in the world are you supposed to keep this a secret just from them. You are gonna register, right? They are either gonna see pink or blue stuff on there.
I guess they would want to know our boy and girl name choices(?)
Either way, I don't care. They'll know what we tell them and be happy about it damn it.

My mother was "don't tell me, I want to be surprised!!" Then I found out and she wanted to know. Hopefully they'll feel the same. They should just be hoping for a healthy baby first and formost. Other things are trivial.
My MIL/FIL just asked us the remind them "did we tell them if it was a b or g yet?" They forgot we told then it was a boy!!!! truly classy. that's my in-law vent for today.
My ILs are giving us a hard time because we are planning for a delivery room suprise and not dicussing our possible name choices. They are mad we won't find out or tell them anything, but it's not like we are telling other people and just not telling them...it's just how we want it overall. My MIL keeps complaining there aren't any good gender neutral clothes or nursery stuff etc. Part of my reasoning for not wanting to know is their craziness demanding personalies ugh, can't imagine what they would come up with to nag about or be domineering over if they did know the gender.
