Ask Dr. Helen: Do Husbands Owe Wives Post-Childbirth ‘Push Presents?’
The very name “Push Present” is revolting. I wonder if that’s why there’s so much condemnation voiced here?
I’m with Sharon (several comments above). A little something would be nice. Agreeing with Bill Delasio, I’d expect a little something even for a kidney stone.
I wouldn’t ask for it — and didn’t. And I didn’t get it.
I envy the elderly lady with the pin her husband gave her when their child was born. That would be a lovely token with which to remember her husband, her child and their joy. A single rose wouldn’t last as long but would also do the trick. Not a reward, but a gesture of love and appreciation. There is a difference.
