Push presents- What is your opinion on this one?

I did not get one. Maybe men are not aware..

 

I got one when my elder one was born... Second one I am still waiting even after 5 months...

I didnt know of this practice... DH wanted to buy something for me..and I thought how sweet of him.. I did ask him this time after my delivery about my gift.. he said its still pending..

There should not be any partiality...right!!!!!!

 

learned a new term!

 

I love presents. Period! So when my husband decided to gift me a new iPad 3 when I delivered our son in August, I found no reason to decline (although, I kinda get the feeling he was gifting himself too!) I have to agree that the birth of our son was an absolute gift in itself and I was pleasantly surprised when my husband insisted that he wants to gift something to this 'amazing woman' who made him a dad. (guess being in the labor room helped! ;-) )

While push presents may appear to be a new concept in India, I think it is just a new name for gifting something nice to the wife who sees her whole life flash through her as she gives birth. I know a few men who have made this gesture to their wives (ranging from diamond necklaces to a sari) and I think it is really sweet.

Oh, I have to mention the fact that my husband is not a "gift-giver" by nature. Like most men, he believes that if I want something i should just ask! So, the push present really moved me because it made me realize how much the birthing experience meant to him.

 

Ohh I got one!! My husband bought nice lingerie (not sexy but I would say classy,expensive) right after I gave birth and I had a long labor,hadnt slept for 4 straight days,was exhausted.He gave to me very happily but all I did was take it and dump it someplace.All I wanted to wear was sweatpants,pyjamas or even nighties.So I never actually used them.At that time I thought why did he give me this,he is so selfish but now I understand he wanted me to feel good about myself after delivery.He took me out for expensive lunch after a month taking time from work.That was sweet of hime,but I remember I had wished I got something better from him

 

Lovely as long as it is NOT seen as an yardstick to measure the love.
Peace finds it's way out when nice to haves are mistaken for must haves.
