To think this is not a present to me

[judybloomno5]

Beware- a bit first world...

I'm being induced tomorrow, I can't bloody wait to get this pregnancy over and done with. It's been the worst few months of my life for various reasons.

DH has proudly showed me my present that he got me. A bottle of red wine costing £25.

I don't drink wine since I have gave up smoking 3 years ago
Since having DC I've gone off booze
£25 for a bottle is fucking ridiculous seeing as we are trying to move house
I'm going to try and breastfeed this time - no alcohol

I want to hide the bottle of wine so the bastard doesn't get to drink it.

I know I'm being U

My midwife told me about 'push' presents. Apparently, it's expensive jewellery in our neck of the woods! I've been robbed! I just got a lot of stitches

Good luck for tomorrow! I understand it's a rubbish present if you don't like wine, but you can absolutely drink while breastfeeding if you want to. It won't harm the baby.

Silly present. Unless he has some idea that the wine will keep for years getting better and better and you'll drink it when the child is 18 or something.

If you have a c-section is it a "pull" present?

That is a shit present considering that you don't drink! Idiot man.

Well done on giving it to your mum! Hope all is progressing well

What makes you think you can't drink if you breastfeed?

YANBU. He obviously should have brought you a tonne of Camembert and Brie!

Good luck for tomorrow

If he was planning on drinking it himself , I wish we could see his face when he realises you've given it to your mum

*Just say it is lovely darling but not my size or my colour, can you change it
for .... (insert what you really want]...

Good luck. XX*

I don't think this works for wine unless you want red instead of white and you were given miniatures

Yanbu - dh gave me a bottle of v expensive champagne when I got home from hospital - it's still on the bedroom floor nearly 9 months later as I don't know when we're supposed to have an occasion that warrants opening it.

If I was you I'd spite him. Say ohhhh I'm gonna save that till such and such so he can't drink it. And if he attempts say oh that is my present

BIL gave me and DH half a case of bloody expensive wine as a thank you for having had him to stay for several months. I had done all the work looking after him. And I was BF at the time.

Two weekends later he was back, rubbing his hands and saying "let's crack into that wine". I told him "no, not till I can drink it too". His face FELL.

Hah.

A few months later, DH and I guzzled the lot. HAH.

Do you remember that episode of The Simpsons where Homer buys Marge a bowling ball for her birthday... With Homer engraved on it? Yeah this is totally the same 😂😂😂

After having early twins (two hours feeds after hospital stay) my Swedish husband bought me a learn Swedish linguaphone course 'because, now you've stopped work you'll have the time to learn the language' It remains in the box with an indentation of his skull. I remain unable to speak Swedish.

Red wine was a push (conception possibly) present for himself. Cheeky.
