Am I the asshole for being devastated that our gender reveal was an April Fools Prank? I am pregnant with baby #3. My husband and I have two beautiful girls. For our second daughter we had a private reveal and it was so fun. We decided to do the same with baby #3. The results came in Monday (3/31) and I picked them up Tuesday morning (4/1). We already had a plan where the neighbor would come over at night. Give my husband the correct firework and we’d get to have our small gender reveal. Yes, I knew it was April Fools, but I didn’t think for an instant they’d ruin this moment. Well I was wrong. The firework lit and afterward she clapped her hands and said “April Fools”. The devastation I have. I was in shock. My husband hugged me and could tell I wasn’t happy and encouraged me to go inside. So I did with no further acknowledgment. 3 days later I’m still fuming. Baby #3 is a boy! But I didn’t get to see/be apart of my husband’s reaction because of this big prank. And this stunt has overshadowed the last few days. To make matters worse the neighbor (female, 50+) hasn’t said a word. If roles were reversed I’d at the minimum apologize. So now it has be wondering am I am the asshole?
