I’m curious about the moms who got nothing from their DH after having a baby: do you get presents from DH at Christmas, on your birthday, on Mother’s Day, etc?

Why should you get a present for being born?

I know people get triggered by the idea of a “push present” - please just think of it as a celebratory gift you deserve for putting your body through pregnancy and childbirth.


I don’t understand this logic. Both you and your DH chose to have a baby (hopefully) and he has the baby without the trauma of childbirth.

Why should you get a present for you choosing to have a baby?

You also gave him a baby, except he didn’t have to go through the pains and inconveniences of pregnancy and childbirth.

The “he gave you a baby” argument only works if you were the only one who wanted a baby.

For my first, I requested a bidet. DH didn’t want one but agreed to it, and now he loves it.

For my second, I liked the idea of diamond earrings but have nowhere to wear them these days. I don’t even wear my diamond ring anymore. DH got us a night nanny instead and said he’ll buy me the earrings if I want them later.

Sorry hit send— two of my aunts inherited the diamonds that were given in honor of their husbands birth, and then gave them to their sons to propose to their fiancées. I think it’s a lovely way of recycling heirlooms and signifying a connection between generations.

People who do this probably shouldn’t be having children.

Diamond pendant necklace for my first baby.
2nd baby we just got a new larger car and I didn’t want anything
3rd baby he got me a 3 stone diamond ring (to symbolize 3 babies). It was also our 10th anniversary and my 35th birthday. I wear it instead of my engagement ring.

First baby I got laser hair removal for my legs and a series of massages. Second baby I signed up for a year of acupuncture. I had a lot of joint pain postpartum the second time. Dh didn’t know about any of these gifts until after they were purchased but he was fine. My husband isn’t the best at gift giving so I take care of it 😊 for the third baby I’m not sure what I want.



I like your style.


I forgot to add I also signed up for personal training about 6 months postpartum. We lived in Miami at the time and laser and personal training was normal. A lot of people had trainers.

Um okay you don’t sound fun. Being pregnant and postpartum is no walk in the park lady. At the very least do a spa day.
