I wish I had learned about push presents from FR. Unfortunately, I didn’t. It was not fun hearing about it the way I did.
To me, this all sounds more like greed and materialism. It is becoming harder and harder for me to understand this latest generation and their desires.
I agree in general. However, I also think the "gender-reveal party" is probably subbing one-for-one with the baby shower, so the level of spending and gift-giving is constant.
I get the impression that there's a story here.
