When I first heard the term “push presents” for dads, I was deep in my pregnancy with my first child. Picture this: I was dealing with intense heartburn and an overwhelming sense of discomfort, just counting down the days until I could meet my little one. The idea of gifting my husband something special while I was about to endure labor seemed a bit absurd to me. After all, I thought, “The baby is the real gift!” However, some of my friends disagreed, with one even splurging on a stylish watch for her husband to commemorate his new role as a dad.
This conversation continues to spark debate among expectant mothers. A recent discussion in a parenting community about potential push presents for dads received over a hundred comments, with opinions split right down the middle. So, what’s the verdict on whether dads deserve a little something extra after the baby arrives?
If you’re contemplating a gift for your partner, consider what fits your relationship best. Some might think it’s a lovely gesture, while others feel it’s unnecessary. The spending on push gifts varies widely, with some moms opting for extravagant gifts while others keep it simple.
