Hi all,

Thanks for all the great comments so far. I just want to add that I am not saying here that gifts should not be given to a wife by her husband (or vice versa). I am opposed to the idea that women are demanding these gifts from their husbands. If they are given freely, that is really nice. But to put pressure on a husband to give a wife an expensive gift as some form of payment for childbirth pain, suffering etc. is the problem that I have. For those who got nice gifts such as bracelets, birthrings for their kids etc. given freely by husbands who enjoy giving gifts, fantastic. But it is the sense of entitlement that it is owed that I personally view as a problem.
