The primary cause was this idiotic trend of “gender reveal” parties.

When and why did this foolishness become a thing? Before routine ultrasounds no one actually knew until the kid was born.

When we had my daughter, my wife had an ultrasound as recommended. We specifically told them we did NOT want to know what it is, just that they are healthy. This was in the very early 90s.

We found out when she was born.

I find all of this “gender reveal” crap to just be more of the “look at me” garbage so prevalent today.

Exactly. My kids were born around the same time. We said the same thing. My bride had the pre-natal ultrasounds. The staff was informed not to tell us. The nurses turned the monitor to where she couldn't see it.

Pink and Blue envelopes both at the ready. Surprise!
