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. 🤷🏻♀️
I didn’t get a push present or expect one but each to their own. Pregnancy and labour are tough, if a present makes someone feel better then so be it.
@__m, right?! 🤗 same here, girl! But I’m talking about materialistic things. 😂
@denisse.m, I’ve been seeing too many ungrateful bitches complain about this. I just had to say something. 🤷🏻♀️
@mamaofzuri, lol snacks are an exception! I was talking about unnecessary expensive things. 😂
@mommytotheo, That’s not bad. That’s great you got one, especially if you didn’t expect it. You’re loved by your family and husband. Not ungrateful like some people I’ve seen on here. 😅
@miaheka I would never expect anyone to get me I was in complete shock. Im pretty sure I ended up spending it all on theo to
@__m, you’re one of the good women in this world. 💛 I feel the same way about my boy!☺️
@squishymommy1, lol that’s nice, I’m sure you didn’t expect that. 🤔🤷🏻♀️
@mamaofzuri, Lmao I would still prefer food over a car 🤷🏻♀️ mainly because I don’t drive. 😂 I mean, a bigger car for your two kiddos if your is small could be an exception..🤔
@mommytotheo, you don’t seem like the kind of person who would either. Getting one unexpected isn’t bad at all. Especially if it was money you used to spend on your precious Theo. 😊
My push present was my baby girl! But agree that those that demand a gift are just ridiculous
@mamaofzuri, lmao 😂 pass your test, and then dream about your own car. 😂 maybe hold off on it till you guys decide if you’re moving back home or not though...😬🤔😅
@masseymomma16, Thank you!!! It is ridiculous! Especially when they’re more excited about the “push gift” than their own baby. Why even get pregnant in the first place?! 🤦🏻♀️
@they-see-me-trollin, it’s just ridiculous when they’re more excited about the gift than their own baby. 🤦🏻♀️
@isabellesmomma212, apparently it is?! I had no idea either till I saw a ton of posts and finally googled what the hell it meant. It’s stupid. 🤦🏻♀️
@mamaofzuri, lol leasing a car for a year would be a good idea. You just gotta pass your test first! 😝
Does a csection scar count as a push present? I aint push but I got the baby out some how. 💁
@mamaofzuri, oh boy 😅 aren’t you supposed to practice on the main road and freeway, too? 😮😅
My husband sent me a push present because he missed our daughter's birth. It was a really nice surprise, I didn't even know he was aware of what a push present was. I didn't expect anything or ask for anything and I don't think any woman should. But I don't think getting one from your SO is stupid at all.
Expecting one is silly but if someone’s man wants to spoil them what’s the issue?
@emily526, You didn’t expect it, and he unfortunately missed her birth, that’s a complete exception. I’m sorry about that. Getting one from your SO isn’t stupid. Expecting one is what I really feel is stupid. If you’re SO gets you one out of the kindness of his hear and feels you deserve it, then there’s absolutely nothing wrong with that.
@mommytok, That’s not what I meant. If someone’s man wants to spoil them out of the kindness of their hearts, and feels they deserve to be spoiled then it’s not wrong at all. It is wrong however to expect it and be more excited for the present than their actual baby.
@mamaofzuri, oh my goodness. 😅 Doesn’t the person you drive with for your test make you go on the highway?
@miaheka, oh okay I think your post came across more as like men shouldn’t even think to do something like that nice for their women. I agree that expecting a big gift is very selfish though!
Who hurt you? Calling people stupid was a bit harsh. Maybe you think the idea is stupid but others may not. Calling them names doesn’t make your opinion any more right.
@mommytok, yeah, I figured so after reading it, but that’s not the case at all.
I had never heard of it until I was being induced and someone asked my hubby what he got me for a push present. (Apparently he already had my necklace in the mail for me but it was supposed to be a surprise.) I'm like "tf is a push present"? 😂
@mulatto_mama, that was sweet of him! He clearly loves and cares about you.💛
@miaheka he does. I didnt know what a push present was and now I'm curious as to how he knew lol
@mulatto_mama, maybe he didn’t, and just thought you deserved a present anyway for giving him his daughter. 🤷🏻♀️💛
I expect to get whatever meal I desire after pushing a big ass baby out of my vag. The only push present I want! I think it’s sweet to get one but nobody should except it.
@bigmama18, It is sweet to get one, but to expect one is a different story. Unless it’s food... Food is always an exception. 😂😂
@blakeslatinmama, that’s what I mean. Getting one is sweet, but expecting one is completely idiotic. My baby boy was also my push present.💙
I didn’t expect a push present - I got the best present ever - my daughter
Your so right . I never even heard of push gift till after I had my daughter already. 😂🤷♀️ @miaheka
all i know is i knew nothing about push presents but i wouldnt ask for a $900 diaper bag as a "push present" lmaooooooo
@miaheka, haha ! 3 weeks after she was born my husband came home with dessert as just a simple present you are doing so good as I’m working and it was the sweetest thing considering I couldn’t have sweets during my pregnancy bc of gd ! It was very sweet
@knockout, this gift makes sense without coffee idk if I’d be a good mom lmao 😂
I didn’t read through comments but the culture in the US is instant gratification- you want- you go get. And if you do anything remotely challenging- you are entitled to all the treasures of the world your little heart desires... and if he loves you, then he would shower you with all you want AND meet all your emotional needs.🙄🙄 Just go watch some commercials...
Oh and don’t forget— you’re a bad parent if you don’t throw a massive themed bday party for your 1 yr old with a professionally decorated cake and hire a photographer.. better actually start with a gender reveal and or pregnancy announcement.
BUT there’s nothing wrong with receiving a gift. There is something wrong about demanding one.
I've never heard of this either. Is there such a thing as a cut present? I had a C-section. I'm JK I would never expect anything like that.
I don’t really care either way. It doesn’t bother me if someone got one. I didn’t with either of my kids and I didn’t expect it. The baby was the real gift
@phoebesmommy, lol I agree. And of course there’s nothing wrong with receiving one. It’s sweet of the SO to do so, but to expect one is just selfish.
@coffeeislife, all C-section mamas deserve a medal 🏅 for having their bodies cut open. I say this not being one of those women. I respect c-section moms.
@aengs2, lol that’s awesome! What I really meant was when someone receives a gift unexpectedly it’s sweet and a wonderful gesture by the SO. However, expecting a gift for giving life is just selfish. 😓
@miaheka it's okay, people just like to say that we never actually gave birth or they like to say that we did something wrong that caused us to have to have a C-section or that we chose to have a C-section over natural birth.
@coffeeislife, whaat that is insane. I would rather have a vaginal birth so i think c sections mamas are amazing ..its a lot harder to be cut ! also recovery is awful
@josefa yeah, people can be pretty nasty but luckily for me I don't let it get to me. They're totally against it which means they've never been through it so am I opinion they don't have an opinion. Recovery was the worst!!! The C-section itself was quick and I didn't feel a thing but after that 3 months of recovery was pretty bad
I got a push present they got all my cravings after I gave birth because everybody felt bad about us almost dying lol I wasn't expecting one tho
@coffeeislife, that’s just ignorant. Birth is birth whether it’s by c-section or vagina. Same freakin’ thing. Ugh. That just pisses me off.
@ljsmommy22, almost dying?!?! 😳 Are you okay?! It’s great to receive one, it’s the women who expect one that’s a different story. 🤷🏻♀️
@miaheka yeah it is. I don't get upset or offended by it. I see it as an opportunity to educate somebody
I EXPECTED a push present... He expects me to change the majority of the diapers. Plus... A push present is in our prenuptial agreement. 💁🏻 even if we divorced, he'd still owe me.👍🏻
Yes my body went into shock while pushing when my son was stuck in the canal for two hours. I know. I always hear "I'd better get a good push gift" Like um isn't your child the gift😂🤣
@lex_6, idk if you are the girl that made 2 posts about an ugly ass diaper bag and then changed her name 3 times and blocked half of us then yes lol
@lex_6, haha naah it was about a $900 diaper bag that a girl liked but was pretty ugly
@britt., prenuptial agreements are okay. I’m talking about ungrateful gf’s and wives who care about gifts instead of their children. 🤷🏻♀️
@ljsmommy22, omg!! I’m so sorry!!! 😣 you definitely deserved one 😮 but it is true, the baby should be the only “push gift” there is. 🙃
I never even heard of a push present until my brother in law bought one for his wife. Then, my husband got me one b/c he felt he should after seeing his brother do it. I thought it was nice but, I encouraged him to return it. I’d rather use that money on something our kids need. I think it’s nice if someone’s significant other wants to do this and can afford to however, I definitely agree that it should not be expected or demanded.
@mlmspm, Yes, exactly! It’s very nice, and sweet and the SO’s part, but to be expected or demanded by the gf or wife is another story.
@sagwaenglish, Lmao those PP cravings are worse than pregnancy cravings sometimes 😂
I didn’t know this was a thing but it totally sounds like something that came from Teen Mom.....😂😂 I don’t watch that show, btw..🤷🏻♀️
I never even heard of a push present then even though you get presents from having babies besides at your baby shower
I’ve never heard of a push present before but I feel like it’s probably something really stupid and unnecessary
My friend got an hermes bag as a push present. She had no clue that it was an expensive bag so she ran around using it as a diaper bag and spilled milk on it a couple times. I never knew of push presents until then. We found out her bag was over 20K
I wasnt expecting any especially being on bedrest and everything on my SO’s shoulders.
But my mom did suprise me with an SUV. she sent a picture of a toyota rav4, &’ asked if i thought it was nice and i told her yes and she said good because she was dropping it off before her trip.
we may not see eye to eye but i know she just wants the best for me 💗
Push present Is anyone getting or requesting a push present?
Ladies what are your thoughts on "push presents"?
stupid question? when it comes time to push during delivery, how do you push and all that?
Push presents? Yes or no? Ideas on what youd want?
When I first found I was pregnant I joked about a push present.. Only because it came up on a show about celebrity moms and I've never heard of it. Surprisingly he's actually been showing a lot of interest in push presents lately. Please let that be a sign 😂😬
