My UO, and this is really selfish: I really wish my parents could have just stayed together a couple of more years. They announced they were getting divorced the day after my wedding, and are still in proceedings because I have a brothers who are 11 & 13 and my mom wants full custody, and my dad, who originally only wanted 50% custody, has decided I she wants full custody, then does he, and both think I'm the best person to complain to. I just really don't need their drama.

Not unpopular. I would definitely try to nip that in the bud. Yes you are an adult, but still the child and they should not be using you as a dumping ground for what is probably already an emotional issue for you. I would tell them that you know they are going through a rough time but that it's really not appropriate or fair for them to drag you in the middle.
Maybe this is a rant... I am in a meeting and we discuss an action. People said just to email them the info rather than formally putting out a tasking. Three of four people do it in a day. After a week, I send a casual email to a manager to ask if anyone has been able to work this in their area. No response. My employee sends an email to fellow coworkers asking for minor, optional input on a situation. This is within the scope of his job to ask others for information. My boss got a call from the manager (equal to him) about the two scenarios and said my office needs to copy supervisors on all requests. Um, no. That is ridiculous. We send out emails all the time. This is part of normal business operations. This concept is unpopular here and everything has to go through management. Am I crazy?

It is crazy but it is how my work is too. I teach at a non-public special ed school. We are expected to copy our "admin" group on every email we send. Every single email. Internal, external, doesn't matter. It is reinforced at every single staff meeting.

Not to be a pain, but I think this is really a FFFC
The bolded is ridiculous. I can't believe they did that.
As for being in the middle, you are in control of your relationships with them to a large degree. So just be clear what you are willing to accept in terms of communication and stick with that. If they aren't willing to stop venting to you, step back until they are.
Speaking on team green, if someone chooses to wait to find out that doesn't mean they aren't planning for their baby. I can't tell you how many people told us last time they couldn't do that because they are a planner. I'm happy to say DS had everything he needed when we got home even though we didn't know he was a boy.

My nursery for DS1 was color themed (blue and green) with some cool patterned fabric in different places.
Despite my earlier comments and the fact that we were not team green, it was pretty much gender neutral. As his room is now (minus the Avengers and construction sheets because kids get PREFERENCES when they get big).
