Push Presents???

[disney_me]

I was watching the news and I saw that women are now wanting " push presents" for giving birth?............ Really?....... You need a gift AFTER you just gave birth?.......I'm sorry I feel this is wrong. My "gift" was my health daughter.


Just wondering what everyone else thinks!

I find that hilarious..i had 4 (big) children naturally, i would never even think about anything like that. My children were the greatest gifts ever! <3

 

[disneychic2]

Seriously? God just gave them the best present ever! Who would they expect to give them a gift to top that?! What a world!

My husband got my DD and I flowers when she was born, but it was more like a welcome/thank-you gift.

Apparently so, but it is not new I heard about this when I had DD 7 yrs ago..I had a woman I work with ask me what my "push" present was..My reply..A beautiful healthy daughter.She said she asked for a bracelet from Tiffanys.I swear every passing year I lose more faith in mankind

I am older and when my friend had her babies over 30 years ago her DH bought her jewelry with each birth. I thought it was over the top then, but I guess its nothing new.

I think like any other gift, it is very nice to receive and a thoughtful gesture but when there are expectations and demands of particular items then it can get over the top. When I had my son 2 years ago my "push gift" was this laptop. We had a desktop but I was going to be staying home with the baby and working from home so my very thoughtful husband brought the new laptop to me in the hospital the day after I had my son. Hey, labor and delivery is hard work and it may have also been an apology gift considering he was finalizing the Super Bowl block when I was in labor and needed to head to the hospital. I was 10cm dilated by the time we got to the hospital. He also stopped to get gum on the way!

I always considered my kids to be my presents. After a long 9 months I finally got to see them, hold them/ect. That was the best present. I do know a few people who's DH's got them something. To each there own.

I'm bought my wife jewelry when our daughter was born this past January. I bought her two rings. One has Aquamarine and Amethyst birthstones (for me and her). The other ring has Garnet (for our daughter) and Diamonds. I know it qualifies as a "push present." But I look at it more like something to add on as we build our family. BTW, she never asked for anything

I think a man bringing a gift to his wife after the birth of a child is a loving and romantic gesture. I think a woman who is demanding or even asking for a gift and using the term "push present" is disgusting.

If you get a "push gift" and than she has to have a c-section do you get to return the gift

Exactly!

Ha ha ha... My SIL demands diamonds. Every time. She has three babies. I had a lovely card from my husband telling me how proud he was, and a beautiful son.

I don't think it's odd when a man brings his wife a gift. In fact I think that's fairly normal My husband will bring me gifts for many different kinds of reasons, and yes he did bring me gifts in the hospital. My first child he brought me a diaper bag that I had wanted but didn't buy myself. I was very pleasantly surprised as I had no idea. With my second he brought me beautiful necklace with both of my childrens birthstones in it. (he was supposed to be our last) With my third he brought me a new necklace with all three or our kids birthstones in it.

I do think it is strange to demand gifts from anyone for any reason, even your husband.

But, to judge a woman and call her selfish just because her husband brought her a gift sounds like sour grapes

I told my husband I wanted an ice cream cake for a push present. He was nice enough to meet my demanding request!

My son was the best gift but my husband got me a charm with his birthstone and name engraved. Not expected, but thoughtful considering I had the worst pregnancy ever (strict bedrest from 25 weeks on).

Well if my husband wanted to give me a present at any time for any reason I am certainly not going to say no

That being said he never brought me a present after the birth of either of our sons and I would never dream of demanding one.
