Put the focus on the child: make the “push present” a savings bond for the kid or something.

A woman expecting a “push present” doesn’t have her priorities straight. Imagine a new father buying a Porsche to celebrate: bad attitude, bad omen.

Investing in the child means a few years later the kid gives you the “push presents”: pushing the lawnmower, pushing the dishrag, pushing the mop … those are “push presents” both parents can enjoy!
