Dear Fonseca,
My entire family is mad at me because they say I ruined my wife and I's gender reveal last Sunday. My wife sliced a cake that was pink inside. Everyone was cheering because she is going to have a baby girl. My family got mad when I said I was hoping for a boy. They couldn't believe that I could be so shallow. My wife says I ruined our big moment and that I shouldn't have said that out loud. I don't think I did anything wrong by expressing my true feelings. I will love my daughter, but really want a son to play sports with. Did I do anything wrong with expressing my feelings? Am I a jerk like everyone says? Is there anything wrong with wanting a boy?
