If You Push Hard Enough You Might Receive New Mom Jewelry
Saturday, 18. July 2009
New mom jewelry has always been popular, I am in my late forties and my father always gave my mom a gift of jewelry when she had another baby. For my elder brother he gave her an eternity ring, for me he gave her a marquisette watch, and when my younger brother was born, I don’t know what he gave her. I didn’t much care as I didn’t think she had done that great a job, pushing out this new baby who took most of the attention away from me, her little girl!
These three items are all good ideas to give a new mom when she has a baby, the jewelry, not the beans on toast. That is if you are lucky enough to have come from a family which upholds this kind of tradition. Not all families do and some women will receive flowers, while people like me will probably always receive a bunch of bananas or a pocket of oranges.
Actually I am not so hard hearted, men do thank their wives for giving birth and quite rightly so. Many sensibly young women these days are having babies much later and my daughter is a case in point. She had her first baby a little over a year ago and she turns thirty this year, she is old by my standards and young by many of her friends standards, to be a new mother. But if it had been up to her, she still wouldn’t have had a baby yet.
It is definitely the right thing for a man to do, thank their wife for giving them a beautiful healthy child. It is also a case of thanking them for enduring the sleepless nights, hardly being able to breathe, hemorrhoids, kicks in the bladder, acid reflux, morning sickness and all the other pleasantries that come along with being pregnant and giving birth.
So get it she did, a very expensive diamond ring, which as she so rightly surmised she wouldn’t have time to enjoy after the baby came, because she lost her mind and her ring. And a trip to the Caribbean to practice baby making, at least she got to enjoy that. Having lost her ring and her mind after the baby was born, and having to get a new one, both the ring and her mind! She did the right thing in not demanding a “push present” when my darling grandchild arrived. It is a girl by the way!
But for all you expecting men out there you had better make sure you get some nice ideas together for push presents. New mom jewelry is one of the best ideas, you can go for the atypical charm bracelet, or go for something completely different. I would suggest a two week holiday in the Bahamas for your wife, alone, at a spa, while you stay home and take care of the baby.
