Can't be doing with the harassment any more!!

[kazine]

Ugh! We only found our baby was a girl on Sunday 16th and the gender party is on Monday (only a week and a day later) and people have already driven me to the point of homicidal urges by asking constantly and even demanding to know!!!! What's the point of having the party if we just tell everyone!? If everyone who said "tell JUST ME!" knew, then everyone would know!!!

Tonight I was at my cousins party and one of her friends was like literally demanding that I tell her. She was getting so annoyed, she asked about 10 times and every time I said no she just got more and more ANGRY! Like she was going ARGHHHH JUST TELL ME!!!!! Erm!! Why should I tell you before I tell my family!? I'd never even met her before!

God! We want to keep her name a secret until she's born because I don't want anyone slagging it off but at this rate I don't think I want to put up with harassment for another 23 weeks! Jesus!!!!!!!!

Some people can just be so rude. Sadly it doesn't end at strangers and even sometimes is from your own family.

I waited to reveal gender to everyone and thankfully I got lucky and no one really harassed me. They did try to trick me into saying it one way or another.

I don't really think there's a way to make this easier, as they're going to keep doing it. It might be fun to make a game out of it somehow. I know I enjoy annoying people by something too stupid to really be annoying.

Oh it also might be fun to respond in ridiculous ways. Like when they ask what gender you're having say something stupid. Same goes for name, every time someone asks the name come up with something awful as a response. Eventually they might stop asking!

Hahahahaa my friend said say the baby is called "the". lol!

There's no need to let it bother you. Just don't respond when someone asks you about it. I mean seriously, no response at all, don't even look at them. Usually gets the point across pretty quickly and doesn't require you to waste any energy.

Just tell them every time you are asked the party is pushed back a day!

Just tell them every time you are asked the party is pushed back a day!

Absolutely perfect response!!!

Ahaha that is a good one!!

I would just be like oh well we found out the baby is a.......... BABY!!!
And then on the name front when they ask the name say oh we were thinking of calling it banana or something stupid

I can relate a bit tho, my auntie and cousin are convinced that we have found out what we're having and keeping it a secret. I don't know how I'm supposed to convince them that I don't know! It's really really getting on my nerves lol!

Sorry they are bothering you so much
Make sure to update us on how the party goes!! I never heard of a gender party before but it seems like a great idea!!! I might have one of my own

This is why I didn't tell people that we knew what we were having! People can be so rude sometimes xx
