Push present /my insaine fiancé and his "deal" present

Okay so I recently explained to my fiancé what a push present is. He was 100% on board. That was pre pregancy and pre him living with an insain hungry hormonal beast of a woman. So no he has decalared he needs a "deal" present from me for dealing with all of my crazyness. Lol I told him the baby is his gift...one that he dousnt have to work for. He said Nope. He said that I go through birth to then form the bond with the baby that no man could have. So the baby is just as much my gift as his. Lol he just pointed out the Porsche 911 he wants as "deal" present. Lol I tould him to kiss my ass lol.

  • What is a push present?
  • What is a push present?

    It's a fairly old school concept, but it's a present the dad gets mom for the successful delivery of the baby. Usually jewellery. We're bucking just about all the classic baby traditions but I wanted to keep this! I definitely want a reward for birthing this baby, and by reward I mean something that isn't going to spend the next however long screaming at me and pooping on me :-P
  • I don't think my hubby knows what a push present is lol and I won't say anything about one to him, but if he becomes enlightened somehow, all on his own, I wouldn't be opposed to a sweet/thoughtful gift. Although I completely agree with @Melcain45 my husband's present for me will be consciousness thought the entire birth of our baby! LOL This is our 1st and he is so incredibly nervous. His love & support & that sweet baby being in my arms are all the presents I need! Birth is a gift in itself to women in general <3 Also, some women are unable to have children and in that case it's a double blessing. Like your hubby said, the 9 months we carry the baby, birth and breastfeeding - if you are planning on doing it - create a bond between mother and baby that cannot be duplicated :]
  • For dd1 dh got me a necklace that I plan on giving her when she's older. Same for dd2. Our 10th wedding anniversary is this year (6 weeks after ds is due) and I think that will trump all else
  • Oh! But as for your DF's "deal" present, I would laugh too :P It'd be kinda funny if you bought him a tiny scale model of car!!
  • We don't do push presents. I don't understand why people think they deserve a present because they gave birth.

    Because why not??

    I got a watch and necklace and thought it was so amazing of my husband to pick out such lovely jewelry for me. It was super sweet.

  • I would ask for Lindt chocolate truffles and a huge bag of sour candy from Bulk Barn. That's all I need O:-) ;;) :D
  • A push present isn't really my style. I could care less. The only gift I need from delivery is a healthy baby.

    I agree. .. why not!!! Lol. I have told hubby I would love to have a ring in baby's birthstone to match my wedding set. He laughed at the whole concept initially, but has since said it's the least he can do after pushing the kid out, and would be a nice sentimental piece for me to have, just like my wedding bands. Also, just because I like the idea of a gift doesn't mean I don't view the baby as an amazing gift itself... can't I have both!!!
  • Push presents are a sweet gesture. Nothing extravagent. I'm getting a ring for to go with my ring from my stepson and my wedding set. I don't get gifts often and I'm not a flashy jewelery person. But the ring I'm getting will be sentimental. Lol I just bought him the toy car. With his specifications. Amazon is amazing. $3.50!
  • @Kayciejoe56 We can totally have it all!
  • @Knottie01495548 Haha!!! You are awesome :D I definitely think he will laugh when you present him with his present! You didn't blow him off ;)) You got him EXACTLY what he asked for! What more could he possibly want?! O:-)
  • I love the idea of planting trees!

    I agree - a push present seems trivial and materialistic next to actually giving birth to the best gift you could ever have. I would rather my husband be preoccupied with our baby and bonding with our family than worrying about buying me an unnecessary gift. Just my opinion...

    I totally agree! I have nothing against women who get them, but personally think it's kind of ridiculous and trivial. What better gift can you get than bringing a precious new baby into the world?
  • My push present was a huge surprise to me because I never once mentioned it to him. The diamond necklace will be passed to our 2 year old and the earrings will go to this baby when the baby gets older. I was nicked when he puth w necklace on me right after delivery. My daughter held onto it the firs time she nursed and every time after that like she knew it would be hers. If he wants to spoil me then so be it. Of course the baby laying healthy in my arms is enough but the thought thy he did it all on his own made it all that much better.

    ^A baby + something pretty = 2 awesome gifts!

  • Oh the push gift... Although I think it's a nice sentiment, something that maybe you could eventually pass down to that child when they are 18 or so, I think it has been blown way out of proportion in the last few years, this is not an "old fashioned" thing, it started only ten years ago but now it seems expected by women that they get a present for pushing a baby out, which seems to me to be a little over the top and greedy. We've been pushing babies out for centuries, it's not a new thing. When did such a natural process become so materialistic?

    It's just my thoughts on it and I'm only worked up about it because I recently had a friend say she wouldn't get pregnant unless she was going to get a really nice gift like diamond earrings, ugh people.
  • Someone got a gun to celebrate the birth of a baby?! Yay America.

    I love jewelery, gifts and I would even consider myself a little materialistic but no push present for me. The baby is more than enough gift for me.
    To each their own though. :)
  • I'd never heard of them til my cousin mentioned them the other day and now this! Too funny. My push present shall be a bottle of champagne and a pound of salmon sashimi immediately after cutting the cord

    The only thing I want my husband to get me immediately after giving birth is a Subway deli sandwich, conveniently located right outside the hospital! Yummmm.

    OHMYGOSH YES.

  • DH and I agreed that push presents are not our style.

    He surprised me after our first day home with a picture frame for our new LO (we were team green). So my "push present" request is another picture frame for this sweet baby. It was perfect for me.

  • Oh! But as for your DF's "deal" present, I would laugh too :P It'd be kinda funny if you bought him a tiny scale model of car!!

    ^^^^ Please do this!!!!!! ^^^^^^
    So funny!!!
  • I thought I was getting one for dd#1 but she was 3 weeks early and it never happened! I hope he's prepared this time!
  • My push present was a healthy baby and a burger from In N Out cause momma was hungry after all that labor. Ice chips is not a meal!!! I expect the same with this baby. ;)

    Pretty much! So funny. I told my husband yesterday this exact thing except trade salmon sashimi for a spicy tuna hand roll! (My mouth is watering now....)
