Dad storms out of reveal party after learning gender of his unborn baby

A 33-year-old man, who already has a 5-year-old daughter, took to Reddit’s “Am I The A**hole” forum to seek advice after upsetting his 34-year-old wife and his in-laws with his outburst, during what was meant to be a special occasion for the family.

Despite knowing exactly what to expect during the big day, the soon-to-be father of two lost his wits after learning the gender of his second kid.

The moment of truth comes and the pink sparkler came flying revealing the gender of the unborn kid. he wrote. “I don’t know what came over me but all I felt at that moment was a very bitter disappointment. To be honest, all I was hoping for baby #2 is to be able to toss a ball around with him and coach little league. Or watch him go on Boy Scouts camping trips.”

“I know my daughter is only five, but I’ve already started to deal with the dramas of being a father of a girl and the thought of having to double up now on the neuroticism was harrowing,” the man continued. “My wife grabbed my arm as people were approaching us to say their congratulations and said I needed to look happier. At that moment I just snapped. I shook my head and walked out to my car ( we came separately) and drove to my sister’s (21F) house.”

This didn’t sit too well with either the man’s wife or Reddit users, who called him out on his attitude toward “girls/women in general.”

“No one is stopping you from tossing a ball with your daughter, or from camping with them, or encouraging them to participate in sports,” “You are the one stopping them from this.” wrote the furious Reddit user.
