baby shower!

So when i was out today with my BFF she was talking to me about my baby shower. her and i are going to plan it together...i'm SOOOO happy shes helping me because i just didnt know where to start with all of it! i already have a place reserved for it and the date set aside may 18..yayy! my fiance will be in town that weekend so i decided it was the best date for it. but anyway..you girls have been such a super help with all of your advice for me, and are the only ones who really know all of my issues well besides my BFF that i talked to today with the whole girl/boy thing so i was hoping to get your help with this. 
i think that i'm going to tell him at the shower that the baby is a girl. i mean, when he comes in and he sees all the pretty decorations, it will be like a reveal for him! i just think that with the excitement of the shower and seeing everything all set up for it and everyone happy about our little princess he wont be as mad at me there. plus he cant cause a scene in front of all of my friends and family. my BFF told me today that she thinks the idea will work. i'm just super nervous about telling him when its just us because i know hes going to be a little upset but i know if he sees its a good thing hell be ok. what do you girls think??

  • I've seen very little posts from OP, but from what I have seen, she hasn't been well received. This post makes me feel crazy. Lol.

  • I went back and reread some posts to get caught up on what the big baby gender lie was all about. As entertaining as this may be, it is really just unbelievable. Literally.
  • wow. ok. well idk why you guys don't believe me it really is a mess im in and i was kind of looking for help since youve all been so nice until now. i think im just going to sign off for tonight and come back another time. i dont like being called a troll...w/e that even means.

    I just think your "mess" is such one that it is unbelievable to most.
    Agreed!!

  • Short answer:  no, I don't think turning your shower into a gender reveal for the baby's father is a good idea.

    First of all, I want you to really consider the fact you think you need backup to tell your FI his child's gender.  Personally, if one of my GFs told me she needed her family or me there because her SO cared that much about the child's gender, I would be deeply concerned for her.  That said, if you do need moral support from your BFF to tell him, at least do so sooner rather than later.  Also, you've never mentioned his family... MILs can actually be really useful in some situations, unless of course she has the gender issue also.  You mentioned that once he sees how happy everyone is and that "it's a good thing" to have a girl he'll be fine with it... MILs can make that happen.

    If you're worried he'll leave you now because it's a girl, do you really think he'd be fine later on knowing you'd been lying?  Also, this whole thing can have a really negative impact on your child down the road, and I know you don't want that.

  • If this is true, please tell your SO immediately and record it so we can share in the reveal moment!

  • Guise.. why do you all have to come down on her? I mean, she's throwing her own shower (totes ok!) and she wants moral support and "back-up" for when she tells her FI that she's been lying. What's so wrong with that?! Obviously, he's so excited to have a girl and this scenario will play out so well... I just don't see why this wouldn't be a good idea!!

    Seriously, OP, you're ridiculous! Tell your FI you're having a girl. If he doesn't like it, oh well. He sounds like a real gem and your relationship sounds like a perfect one!

  • This shit can't be real.
  • Maybe the Baby Shower board would have some good advice for this?
  • I read her intro post.  While I pray this is MUD, I guess anything could be real.

    I'm team NO WAY of a gender reveal at the shower.

    OK, so OP said in her intro post that "nothing happens if we have a girl"

    So if this is the case WTF did you lie about the gender in the first place when you found out?  If I were your SO I'd be more pissed at you lying to me and CONTINUALLY lying to me then I would be about the gender of my child.  Do you know how many people in the world would love to have a healthy baby?  Do you know how many of our own June mamma's would LOVE to still be pregnant?  Get your head out of your ass, admit that you are a lying skank to your SO and for everyone's sake don't reveal your crap at the baby shower.

     

    *EDIT*  I have no idea why TB wouldn't allow this to be posted with the above comment even when I edited.  It could be the Lord trying to stop me from showing my bitchface on the internet but this whole thing really pisses me off**

     

  • WTF is wrong with the bump?? I post a very bitchy response and all that posts is f****** smiley faces!!!!!

    >:)

     

  • what the actual fuck...... for reals? Better yet, take him on Maury or something fierce like that. image Honestly OP tell your man the truth, if he deserves you he will handle it with class and dignity and if not then you are better off without him. A baby is a blessing no matter what. Lying will get you nothing but trouble and delaying the truth just makes the lie worse IMO. DO NOT wait until the baby shower, people generally do not react well in those circumstances and why put your family and loved ones in such an awkward position. Just come clean and put your big girl panties on, your about to be a mother..... good lord. image

  • Do you really want to marry someone who would be upset and cause a scene over the gender of their own child?
  • Buck up and just tell him. If he is a tool about it then he's an ass and he should be kicked to the curb.

  • OP has created a fantasy world on the bump. I think you need to strongly consider some psychotherapy, even if this make-believe (or gross exaggeration of your life) is merely an internet hobby.
