Mother's Day is one thing. But the latest trend in gift-giving for moms are so-called push presents. Post-delivery room, dads are being nudged to give jewelry and other expensive gifts that reward wives for doing the work of giving birth. What do you think of this trend? Should moms get push presents or is this just a form of materialism taken too far?

What happened to the baby being the gift?? I always appreciated a small, sentimental gift or card from my husband...or maybe something for the baby to pass along to them someday...but to now add in the pressure of an expensive gift, probably purchased on credit...seems silly to me.
If you have that much money to toss around, why not instead donate some new baby items to a local food bank or charity like First Step Housing.
Too far!! I don't understand this at all. If a husband, boyfriend, significant other _wishes_ to give the mother of their child a "push present" then that is up to them. But to expect it? Come on!! You're taking the joy out of being a mother!! Being rewarded for going through labor? The reward is you holding that precious bundle for the first time after carrying it for 9 long months.
Give me a smooch, hold/feed the baby when I need a break, ... but that's enough. My baby is my reward.
I think it should be totally up to the dad... Although i wouldnt want something expensive the jesture by the father just from himself is a good thing... As for expecting a present NOWAY!! thats not right...
i fell as though it should totally be up to the dad.. I mean its a nice jesture if he does buy you something, but it doesnt have to be expensive jewelery, i think flowers or a teddy of some sort would be sufficient!!
I think it's a great idea, the best gift in the world is your children for sure, but when the nurse takes the baby away (like the always do) to have the baby weighted and checked out I think it would be some nice for your husband to have a nice gift for you like a braclet or necklace, or the ring that says "mom" on it in his pocket. To be like "here dear, you just gave me the best gift in the world that I could never could have done with out you and I want you to have this "whatever" for the rest of you life to remember this day and how happy I am that you did this for us". Flowers die and teddy bears are hard to find places for or they just get put in a closet. If a guy even just spent not even a $100 dollar thats only a little over $10 a month he has to save an order to get you something nice on your baby birth day.
