I personally find the idea of push presents slightly ridiculous. If a man wants to surprise the mother of his child with a gift after the baby is born, then that's very sweet and wonderful. But the idea of asking for a present or expecting a present, like it's Christmas, seems a bit silly to me. No offence to those who feel differently, to each their own. Just not my thing.
It's funny cause I'd heard about push presents before but I thought it was cliché or at least just another commercialized gimmic to get men to buy their ladies jewelry. But yesterday I mentioned the idea to my dh and he smiled and said he'd love to get me something! This being our last baby and all.
Now I'm like, well darn it! Lol I could've said it years ago. ?
Yes, we haven't always called it that... My last pregnancy I got a new to me vehicle .... I've been telling my hubby I'm not sure yet... Thinking about something for my house that is important to me but really a necessity. I've been wanting new floors throughout the living, foyer, kitchen and halls.... Or jewelry ... But my hubby always goes crazy with affection and gifts after delivery. I deliver naturally and he is always just amazed, proud and honored that I'm so wiling to do this for our family he goes out of his way to honor me post baby!!
I just told my hubby all I want after she's born is a margarita ?he asked if I want it at the hospital or first thing when I come home. Hahaha. Good to know he's on board with that. ?? Surprises aren't his strong suit but if I ask for something, he'll get me whatever I want. I'd love something with her birthstone on it! ??
I'm not really into commercial holidays like Valentine's Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day, etc. But I like the idea of a push present. Maybe cuz Im very sentimental and I think it would be a nice token of the special event. Plus, we both are getting the special present of the new baby, but it's only the mom who carries the baby for 40 weeks. A little something would be nice.
@2moms
I know right?
My husband thinks I deserve something special after this miserable pregnancy and especially because I'm giving him a daughter.
Maybe it's different because we had trouble conceiving, it's the fairy tale ending to a long painful journey and something he wants to show his appreciation for. I suppose when you're on your 4th or 5th child, the desire to show appreciation for your spouse going through pregnancy and child birth is probably long gone.
Bahaha. I told my husband he could buy me a new ring that fit better as a push present and he said what's a push present. So, that explains why I didn't get one the first time around and won't get one this time either. ? Doesn't really bother me though.
Kinda up to each individual on the importance of a push present. I'm lucky to get a present for Christmas.
Yup I sure am!!?
And i don't feel one bit bad or ridiculous for it.
Since I've had to put my career in hold due to the many complications of this pregnancy(i travel and speak at seminars) and since I've had round ligament pain since I was 15 weeks....I'm getting a pair of Louboutins! I love wearing high heels when I speak and my first engagement after baby boy arrives is in October. My hubby says he feels honored to gift them b/c after 3 daughters I've given him a heir to his last name?? Plus he and I love giving gifts....its both of our Love Language.
After doing all that work for 40 weeks, to get a little acknowledgement from the hubby is a nice surprise! :) that's just how I feel. I can totally understand that Moms would think money should be spent on the baby, or the house, etc. Thats totally true, but it's still nice. I'm excited to get the surprise of not knowing what we're having and finding out during birth first, then when I'm all banged up from childbirth having my hubby come in the hospital room with something sparkly is pretty nice too! :) I hope everyone is feeling well. We're coming to the end!!!!
I recently found out about this idea, I honestly didn't know it existed. My husband has a 2 week paternity leave after baby is born and my treat is that he gets to pamper me, let me sleep when needed and have full reign on the toddler while i heal up. Its not really a treat though, I expect it, but at the same time truely appriciate it hahaha labor is so hard on the body.
I sort of told my husband that he is supposed to give something to me that I can give to the baby that is meaningful, which ended up being jewelry of the baby's birthstone. With my first he gave me a blue topaz (December) pendant necklace with black and white diamonds around it. With my second son he gave me a David Yurman diamond bracelet (April), and this baby is a ruby (July :)), so I'm hoping for a ring. I'll probably never get jewelry again after this one haha. All things that can be given to a future wife of my boys, or if this is a girl she can have it on her wedding day. Makes me feel good after all this work!!!! Big changes from my Moms day in age. I think she got a vacuum haha
I want a roomba ?... My birthday is a month before I'm due and I keep throwing it out there as a "bday/ push present". We have two black labs that shed like crazy and we're still in a 1 bedroom apartment with all hardwood floors, it would be a gift that would make it so I wouldn't have to sweep every day. The thought of all this dog fur and a newborn in the house has made me crazy! ?
I never expect or request anything. With our first two I didn't get anything. With our last he got me a diamond and gemstone white cold necklace and flowers. It was a pleasant surprise but definitely not something he needed to do. I'm not expecting or asking for anything this time.
I rather hate the idea of push presents. I just feel like it's materializing something that's far more important than material goods. Like it was sweet my husband wanted to get me something I suppose but i feel like he felt obligated to because that's what the world is telling him he needs to do, but in reality he helped bring that child into the world. That's gift enough
Religion Conspiracy/Theory
**This is not to bash peoples religion and beliefs but to talk about our own theories and ideas** I would like to discuss a certain topic that came to mind after talking to my SO. I know some of you ladies like a good conspiracy talk so i would like to have a good discussion and hear thoughts of others. So back story my SO friends got very offended when he mentioned not believing in god or religion and it got me thinking. Is religion a failing form of goverment cont...
Potty Training *Updated*
Why is there such a push to do it so early?
Push presents are stupid, and women who expect “push presents” from their SO’s are even more stupid. You’re giving life to a human being for Pete’s sake! You don’t need a damn present for something your body is made to do. 🤦🏻♀️
There, I said it. 🤷🏻♀️
Before u become pregnant think of this
Do I want to be uncomfortable as hell for 40-42 weeks?
Do I want to be in horrible pain for up to 14-16 hours even longer
Can I handle pushing a big ass head through my vagina
Can I handle this with no pain meds(sometimes u can't make it in time)
Do I want to go to the hospital 10x before I'm actually in labor.
Because inducing your labor at 32-37 weeks for your own selfish needs or getting a csection to do it the "easy" way is just plain selfish and FYI a...
