Ask Dr. Helen: Do Husbands Owe Wives Post-Childbirth ‘Push Presents?’
2) If, after #1 she STILL demands a “Push Present” then get a divorce, FAST.
That’s right, because everyone knows that the thing to do in marriage, *particularly* when you have a baby on the way, is never ever to try to work to resolve disagreements, find out where the roots of the problems may be coming from and work through them. Instead, whenever you have difficulties and don’t see eye to eye with your spouse, you should immediately declare the whole thing a waste, write off your spouse and future mother of your child as an irredeemable person, and call in the lawyers.
*Sigh.* And people wonder why the divorce rate is so high these days.
Oh, for the record, I think that the idea of a “push present” is tacky and a waste of money, and I can’t imagine asking for one when my husband and I eventually have children.
