[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Lol.  I hope you guys also don’t expect presents for graduations, birthdays, or anniversaries.

I’ve never heard so much negativity about getting or giving a gift.

The term is weird and I wouldn’t use it.  But the gift seems totally benign.  You guys are oddly negative and worried about what other people do.[/quote]

But why a gift for the mother?? Seems odd. She performed a biological function because she wanted a child. [/quote]

Couldn’t you say that about any accomplishment? I mean you do absolutely nothing and you get birthday presents. Graduation? Wohoo- you showed up to high school. Wedding? You got someone to propose. I did a lot more to bring my kids into this world. IVF, shots, pregnancy, being two weeks overdue. Gifts are sweet and sentimental.[/quote]

Except PP’s comment is even worse than that. My brother just graduated from college. He got a college degree because HE wanted one. I had babies because DH and I BOTH wanted kids. But of course the process of bringing that about cost me far more than it cost him.

And of course this cost isn’t hypothetical. Gay men who need surrogates to help them become parents know exactly the cost in dollars and cents. [/quote]
