Why can’t we just wait until the baby is born Knowing in advance is not that important.
Praying for the family and the mother to be. This is crazy. Ppl really needs to stop with the dangerous stuff. Simple cake or balloons. You can even do a paint toss type of something. Just stop with the explosive and fires and smoke bombs. Please...
These explosive devices for gender reveals need to stop. They are too dangerous.
When will they learn?
Out of control! WTF!
Think we need to go back to the days of gender reveal on the day the baby is born, this is getting ridiculous already.
Funny, it has been that long since showed and giggled at these reveals almost daily in the Daily Boost - when did you get the new DNC marching orders ?
Whatever happened to ordering a cake blue or pink or even a simple ballon pop 😂 why does it need to be so extra... smh
Oh well maybe these pregnant women will start reveling the gender of their babies the normal way that doesn't injure or kill people.
Why do people do these?!! They're ridiculous.
How sad 😢
🙏
Enough of this shit already, just text people if it's a boy or girl, no really cares all that much
Stop following ridiculous fads. When the blind lead the blind, both are likely to fall into a ditch. 💔😢
GO BACK TO BAKING OR BALLOONS!?🤔🤷♀️
Trying to do too much.. keep it simple people.
It seems it's better to just tell people the gender during the party. They'll still be surprised and happy
I can not imagine the level of grief and despair that this accident has caused. I wish them strength and love.
terrible
Lets celebrate life gender to be determined.
What is the matter with these people?
what is this bullshit?
Gender reveals. Asking someone to the prom. Proposals. Little kid bday parties. These have all gotten grandiose & out of hand. KISS principle: Keep it simple, Stupid. And you might get to enjoy being a parent, spouse, prom date or partygoer.
How many times is this going to happen?
Why, why why?
Oh god
Saddening
Not an entirely good choice of words, here.
🤦♀️
Why do people have to do this crap?
Maybe it's time to stop!🤷🏼♀️
They are a bad idea. They started our fires in California.
adameargle 👀
Has 2020 not taught us that these things should be illegal.
Has 2020 not taught us that gender reveal parties should be illegal
I guess it's time to stop these type in of gender reveals. There have been a lot of problems, injuries and deaths in
This is so sad... Prayers for the family...
Sad beyond words.... and, so unnecessary. 😔
This whole gender reveal thing is crazy considering babies supposedly don’t have genders anymore
Lots of people are suggesting cakes or confetti, personally, I'd like to suggest not declaring your child's genitals to everyone in the first place.
Wow. There's your 1000 ways to die story right there!!
Lol
Why does there need to be some big reveal? That is just the dumbest thing. Tell people don't tell people. Shit, just pray for a healthy baby.
BAKE 👏🏼 A 👏🏼 GODDAMNED 👏🏼 CAKE
These have totally gotten out of hand
I’m old fashioned I believe that there is no better surprise than the joyous moment of your newborns birth and finding out if it’s a boy or girl Ditch the gender reveal parties
Can we just go back to “announcing” the baby’s gender? This whole ‘gender reveal’ mania is out of control and getting very dangerous. Not the first fatality linked to this bizarre ritual
Stop with the gender bs already. Let your damn kid decide. Oh and I cannot wait for the people I'm gonna block after I send this tweet. Don't bother transphobes. I don't care.
I’m not a fan of gender reveal parties period.
Getting harder to feel empathy for grown ups who are moronic.
The old custom of having a women-only baby shower is making more and more sense.
🙏🏽
In today’s world sex doesn’t even matter; these parents are what’s wrong with the world they should wait until “it” is at least 5 and ask it what it wants to be & then start the transformation process immediately if necessary! Just ask Rachel Levine; Biden’s pick! SMH 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
Save lives! Go old school. Wait for the birth & send out announcements.
It’s 2021, we shouldn’t be having gender reveals. The baby should decide its own gender when its ready.
That's sad
So sad. :(
Unbelievable! When will this madness end?
Can we please stop with the whole gender reveal nonsense?
How terrible
Just do a simple cake for crying out loud cut into pink or blue there ya go this new trend stuff is Rediculous
These things are getting more and more dangerous. Plus you have to have 57 different colors of glitter.
🤭 this is awful and so sad!!!!! Whatever happened to balloons filled with pink or blue confetti Has gender reveal parties gotten THAT extreme? Also..
Seriously, people.
Can we stop with these? Send out cards while supporting the USPS
People are still doing those stupid things?!?
Obv a confused reveal....
