Should we share the gender with others before birth?
My husband and I are debating this topic. We are newly pregnant and discussing how to go about this: we want to know the gender, but we don’t want to tell anyone. We are both just too impatient / excited that we definitely want to know, but we’re both pretty against super gendered baby stuff for a multitude of reasons, and we like the idea of it being our little secret.
But I’m curious about any potential issues with this. We both struggle with understanding those unspoken social norms and I’ve been told before that I have come off rude in situations where I truly just didn’t understand what is typical or expected, if that makes sense? So I’m just looking for any opinions on how this might be rude / upsetting to other people. I know that sounds silly bc it’s OUR baby but as I said, I’ve burned myself before with my lack of social awareness and I’m just trying to make sure I won’t be offending anyone.
I know the common complaint is “I can’t buy any clothes because everything is either girls or boys”, which I don’t necessarily agree with or care about, I’ll buy clothes myself lol.
Sorry if this is so silly, just trying to hear some other opinions so we can make a decision. Thanks :)
