Wedding Gifts and Push Presents

• Fab4Runner

  

  Current topic at work. Did you get your spouse a wedding gift? And if you have a kid, did you get your significant other a present for pushing it out of her vagina?

  Push presents are dumb. Wedding gift for your spouse also seems dumb, but less dumb than a "push" present. If a woman gets a push present, I want a firing one off present, for my great shooting.

  With respect to the first question, no...the honeymoon is the gift. I did buy my wife earrings to wear during the ceremony, but that was a Christmas gift, I would not have done that just for the wedding itself.
  
  With respect to the second question, most of our friends do buy "birthing jewelry" - which normally isn't that extravagant, and certainly much less than an engagement ring. It is a token for the moment and to have their kid inherit eventually. I don't see anything wrong with it.

  If they had a C section, would this not disqualify them for a push present?

  I will never buy my wife any present.

  This is why I never bought my Ex-Wife a 'Push Present'.
  
  Actually I never even heard of a push present until this thread. I must be way outta the loop or constantly drunj.

  No present for kids, no presents when we got married, no presents for birthdays or Christmas. I do give her a present of occasional loads on her face.

  hopefully only target load and not 000 buck.
  
  
  Not sure what the big whup is....if you want to get your wife a present...then give it to her. If it comes to point when this kind of stuff is required, then you probably have a shit marraige.

  My fiance and I are talking about wedding presents to each other. We both decided that they were useless, and opted to just write letters to each other instead. Plus...we'd rather save the money for a honeymoon.
  
  I've never heard of a "push" present? Honestly, I'd rather get presents from the baby shower.

  The push present is the kid. Not to mention the insane amount of gifts you get.

  It's just a little token of appreciation for laboring for hours and then pushing a baby out of her vag. Or for having to be cut open and a baby ripped out, leaving a lifelong scar. It's typically something sentimental, like jewelry with the baby's birthstone or name on it.
  
  I don't know anyone who "requires" these gifts be given, but I know couples who have done one or the other, or both.

  You deserve one less for a C-Section. You're in an out of there in less than an hour. Most the the time spent is getting sewn up.
  
  My wife and I didn't get each other wedding gifts, we put it towards the honeymoon.

  The majority of the time, you're still in labor for many, many hours before they cut the baby out. Surgery is surgery. I know I get my friends a little something when they have a procedure done.
  
  I am not actually advocating for push presents. I really don't care if I ever get one (if I have kids), but I think the reasoning against them is funny.

  I didn't get present when my appendix ruptured thus my significant other will not get a push present. How's that reasoning?

  Is the baby not enough of a present? Although, i bet there are some bitches out there who have kids just to get gifts.

  i'm sure that's exactly what she wanted.

  A c-section isn't a walk in the park, it usually involves at least 2 days in-hospital recovery time. Any surgery that involves the core body like that ain't easy to recovery from quickly.
