gift for baby at hospital image
My hubby a
I work for a state medical insurance, and we are trying to figure out what we can give to newborn moms we are giving the newborns baby stuff and a gift card for baby's r us, but what about the moms what are some ideas to give them? Bath robe, slippers, nice lotions, candles etc? Something to make them feel good and not forgotten with the newborn and all?
The majority of these women are low income moms thats why they are on state medicaid programs
Answer
You are talking about buying this stuff using my tax dollars? I work for a living and ended up with a $3000 hospital bill (insurance only paid a portion) and what did my state buy me? NOTHING.
Why is tax money being wasted on presents? We just gave her the "present" of a baby & pregnancy that she didn't have to pay for.
Why is it that I get to work harder, take more jobs, can't afford to have another baby, yet if I would only stop working and leave my husband, I could get a day at the spa. I sure as heck can't afford it now.
If it is my tax money, then I say buy her birth control and parenting classes so I don't end up paying for her kid to have kids they can't afford either.
What crap. When are we going to stop REWARDING people who make bad choices? WHEN?

What is a good gift for my toddler to get for her new baby brother?
One Armed
A friend suggested that when I have my 2year old daughter visit her baby brother in the hospital for the first time, that they give eachother a gift. I have bought something for him to give to her, but I don't know what she could give to him. Should I just take her shopping and let her pick something out for him? Did anyone else do something similar or have any other cute ideas for their first meeting?
Answer
Definetely take her shopping to pick out the gift. My son and I did this for the new baby and it meant so much to him, to feel like he was part of the whole process. He ended up choosing an outfit, and the baby wore it to get his newborn pics taken at the hospital, and to go home in. Every time I show off the newborn pics, my son exclaims "I bought him the outfit!" and is so proud. Letting them choose is important in making it a special and unique gift.
