Why should we make such a huge and very public deal of announcing the gender of a baby? (Picture: ITV)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Peppa Pig<\/a>\u00a0and her cartoon parents are staging a real-life\u00a0gender<\/a>\u00a0reveal for their\u00a0new piglet<\/a>? Wake up and smell the bacon, people!<\/p>\n

Yes, that’s right, on Friday night, the family will descend on Battersea Power Station in London<\/a> to announce whether they are having a boy or a girl (spoiler: It’s a girl).<\/p>\n

The idea of this shindig has me snorting like silly Daddy Pig.<\/p>\n

First up, the whole gender reveal concept is hogwash, in my opinion, and something that should be made as extinct as George Pig\u2019s beloved ‘dine-saws’. <\/p>\n

To be fair, I’ve never been to a gender reveal party, but I\u2019ve seen the parade of videos on TikTok<\/a>: The cutesy cupcakes, the towering balloon arches, the dogs reluctantly sporting huge, coloured bows or with their fur dyed\u2026<\/p>\n

Then there’s the poor friends and family who already face being summoned to See The Baby, marshalled into attending baby showers, baptisms and birthday parties, then maybe nativities, school plays, sports days and so on\u2026 is this what the future will hold for Miss Rabbit, Grandpa Pig and Madame Gazelle, too?<\/p>\n

That said, I accept that tastes differ and of course, being pregnant is a special and exciting time, and expectant parents want to share the joy with their near and dear. So I understand why some <\/em>people choose to celebrate their impending arrival in this way \u2013 if said arrival is an actual, real human being.<\/p>\n

But a fictional pig? Give me a break!<\/p>\n

As a parent, I’ve of course watched Peppa Pig (Picture: Debbie Stowe)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My own sons passed quickly through their Peppa Pig phase, but I\u2019ve sat through my fair share of episodes. <\/p>\n

I\u2019ve always considered it among the less bad content that parents of young children are subjected to.<\/p>\n

I like the fun and silliness of Peppa and her pals\u2013 and I\u2019ve always encouraged my boys to jump in muddy puddles. Then there’s the close family bonds depicted, the characters\u2019 ability to not take themselves too seriously, and Peppa\u2019s curiosity about the world.<\/p>\n
