[quote=Anonymous][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]

But who is thanking you? You did what is necessary to have a child. It is not a gift you gave your husband, it is just how our procreation works.

Sorry but I do not get it. [/quote] What things in life do you think warrant celebration? [/quote]
