Entitled mom-to-be calls out bakery for accidentally spoiling gender reveal by asking about cake ingredients: ‘She had a good 10 seconds to hang up before any info was revealed’ #Fun

Can I confess something? There are few modern social rites of passage that annoy me more than gender reveals. Putting aside all the politics surrounding it, expecting parents already had the phenomenon of the baby shower before this nightmare of pink and blue gimmicks came along. As if that wasn’t enough, they also have a tendency to cause a lot of unnecessary drama that could be avoided if you simply let the ultrasound technician tell you if you were having a boy or a girl.

This point has recently been proven by one mom-to-be on social media after she put a bakery on blast for accidentally revealing the gender of her baby to her before her party. She had asked that the cake contain blackberries for a boy and raspberries for a girl, and the baker left a voicemail revealing that they didn’t currently have blackberries in stock. 

Unfortunately for this mom, when she complained about this on the internet most people didn’t share her outrage. When you’re preparing for a new baby, there are bigger issues at hand.

Parents force pregnant 15-year-old to drop out of school and raise the baby against her wishes: ‘I just want to give the baby up for adoption, but they won’t listen to me’ #Fun

It’s pretty bleak how many people see pregnancy as a divine punishment for women who “misbehave.” I don’t know about you all, but I don’t think forcing irresponsible young women to raise babies that they can’t afford and never wanted in the first place is a great idea. I don’t think most people who tell pregnant teenage girls to “accept responsibility” and make motherhood their #1 priority actually believe it will lead to the best results. They want her to be punished for daring to have s*x, and not allowing her to have any choice in her future puts her in her place. I understand that a lot of people feel negatively about abortion, but adoption should surely be an option for a pair of 15-year-olds who have their whole futures ahead of them. The parents of the pregnant teen in this story don’t see adoption as an option.

34-year-old sister who can’t have children insists on helping name brother’s newborn, is offended when he declines: ‘My mom thinks I lack compassion’ #Fun

Naming a baby is an incredibly personal thing. It’s a moment where, at least in our contemporary culture, the only people who really get a say are the parents. Not their families, not their friends, and not anyone else. Sure, it’s nice to use a baby name to honor someone who has passed, or who had an important impact on the new family, but you don’t have to. Your only responsibility is to name them something that won’t get them tossed out of job application pools. The rest is fair game. That’s why it’s understandable when some couples bristle when others insist on giving them outside input. I hate to break it to you, but nobody really wants to hear your list of baby names. 

But one woman didn’t quite understand that when it came time to name her niece. And though she has a tragic backstory, it still doesn’t quite excuse it. Read on for the story.
