Kids leave the nest, but diamonds are forever


iconWomen are finding new and inventive ways to screw over the men in their lives, reports Fox News. Women are spreading the idea via word of mouth, that men should shell out big bucks for expensive gifts for them after they go through labor.

Men who thought their lavish-jewelry duties were over after they purchased the engagement ring might get a shock when their babies are born. That's when it's time to shop for the "push present."

But a bouquet of flowers won't usually cut it. Nowadays, many husbands are expected to buy expensive presents to thank their wives for dealing with pregnancy and "pushing" through labor.

I guess the joy of bringing a child into the world isn't enough for some women.

Hey, I was lucky to get a Christmas present from my ex after we got married and then again after we had a child. A gift for giving birth? Yeah, I got one. He went home and slept for 12 hours after learning our son was being admitted to the NICU. A little peace and quiet was nice for a change. All the yelling and crying and whining during the delivery got on my nerves. Thank God I had other things to distract me from his hysterics.

And women wonder why men are more reluctant than ever before to get married.
