Yikes! This is news to me, and I have lots of kids and their friends who are having babies these days. Could it be a Kentucky phenomenon?

I've been pondering a what I take to be a relatively new cultural practice.  It is the practice of having a "gender reveal" party, which a pregnant woman has prior to a baby shower.  I probably don't need to tell folks on this list what I find disturbing about this.  

Anyone have any reflections on this practice and/or to help me out of my being fairly deeply disturbed by family members I really care about doing this?  

Thanks,

Joan
