Here's the deal. My wife and I won't know if we're having a baby until the Tuesday after Mothers Day

Question: should I think positive and get her a Mothers Day gift with the chance of bad news on Tuesday?

We've gone through a lot over the last year and I don't want to be over optimistic and jinx it but it we do get the good news I would come off looking like a bawss

Suggestions?

Absolutely not. It sounds sweet, but the negative consequences far outweigh any positives.

Wait. Then once you find out for sure, take her for belated Mother's Day dinner

Man I am not married and I don't have kids, but I would be really cautious, even if Tuesday goes right.

Maybe something small post Tuesday, but seems precarious to me.

Do you really have to ask that? That is way too early. Think - how would she feel if you did something and come to find out you aren't having one?

Yeah I'd wait until you guys find out for sure. Then celebrate a late mothers day.

Have something on hand and give it to her on Tuesday if it's good news. And good luck!

Had our first on May 24 last year. All I did was tell her "happy future mothers day"

This year I'm going for a little more.

Your situation: Don't chance it IMO

This is a no win situation. But chicks always dig presents so I'd get her something. Just not something baby related.

Buy her a mother's day card. Seal it and date it on Sunday. Give it to her Tuesday after the good news. You can say you knew all along cause you sealed it and dated it ahead of time. Heaven forbid you get bad news on Tuesday, destroy said card.

Here's the deal:
1. she is not your mother.
2. she may not even be a mother.
so why should you get her a mother's day gift? Bitches drive me crazy with their incessant demands.

caveat: i'm divorced and was once told by a judge(female) in open court that "You do not understand women".
