His Wife Is Having Their First Child Next Month So He’s Not Getting Her Anything For Mother’s Day Because He Doesn’t Think She’s A Mom Yet
A 32-year-old man has been with his 30-year-old wife for 14 years. They started dating back when they were 18 and 16, so they definitely are high school sweethearts and they’ve spent a long time with one another.
Right now, his wife is currently pregnant with their first child, and the baby is going to be due in the middle of next month.
Since Mother’s Day is coming up, his wife told him that she really would like for him to get her a present for Mother’s Day.
What she has in mind is quite an expensive hairdryer.
When his wife said this to him, he was confused. She’s not having their baby for approximately another month, so he doesn’t think she should get a present for Mother’s Day at all.
“I told her that I was absolutely not going to get her a Mother’s Day present until next year when we actually have a baby,” he explained.
His wife seemed to be pretty hurt by his response, and she informed him that if he doesn’t go through with getting her a present as she asked, she won’t buy him a Father’s Day gift until 2023.
“I think it’s absurd to expect a present for a holiday that you don’t qualify for,” he said. “Where do you draw the line?!”
“Would you expect a Mother’s Day gift if you were in a childless relationship but had pets?”

“If people want to unexpectedly gift others for holidays they don’t technically fit in that’s fine, but to expect it seems unreasonable.”
He pretty much already made up his mind that he will not be getting his wife a gift for Mother’s Day at all, just because he also figures it would also “cheapen” the experience of celebrating this day, and since his wife started getting too demanding about the present.
Mother’s Day is a big milestone to be able to celebrate, and he wants their baby to actually be there for it.
Do you think he should cave and get her the hairdryer as a Mother’s Day present, or do you think he should wait until their baby is here next year to get her something?
