[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it's traditional in your culture, then by all means, carry on. If it's not traditional, as in most of the US, asking for a push present is tacky and greedy. It's like a payment for having a baby. So transactional and gross. [/quote] I think it’s reasonably traditional in the US to buy a durable gift like jewelry to commemorate the birth of a child. [/quote] The baby IS the gift. The ultimate gift, to both parents. That is how I see it anyway.[/quote] Sure. But the gift costs the non gestating parent far, far more, including stretch marks, tearing, risk of surgery, and risk of death. That’s why the tradition arose, hundreds of years before now. [/quote]
