'I thought she was joking': Mom of newborn asks for a new car for 'push present,' husband responds she's not worthy

Social media changes our real lives in so many unexpected ways. We're more aware of how we look on camera, which has led to a rise in cosmetic surgeries. We're more closely locked into trend cycles, which causes styles to come and go at a rate hitherto unknown. And we're inventing new phrases and words that change the way we live our lives. One of those is the concept of a "push present." If you haven't heard of them, they're a gift given to someone who has just given birth, usually by the other parent, to thank them for the labor of well, labor. It's a new concept, as far as I'm aware, but folks on social media have taken to it quickly. 

But is the concept just a form of entitlement? And how expensive should a push present be? One couple found themselves arguing over this, and things got quickly heated. Read on for the details.
