Sounds more like it was someone's idea of a joke, a gag gift.

If it wasn't a gag gift I would honestly look into that person and their children. Something is wrong in the head.

Maybe they're expecting you to get a canoe for your baby.

It was a gag gift honey. But it is a reminder to also be a good disciplinarian and not a friend like a lot of today's parents are today.

I think it was a gag gift. My husbands friend bought him a protective cup with our first baby. Since we now have six, my husband understands the gift. His poor goodies!!!Smile

I'm hoping it was a gag gift or some type of joke. It makes sense if someone was joking around, but in reality, I think that is kind of an inappropriate gift to be giving a expectant mother. Not only do emotions and hormones run high, but the thought of using a paddle on your child is somewhat crazy and psychotic to a mother to be- especially for a first time mother. Now if they are close friends and joke about that sort of thing, maybe it would be more acceptable. I would think the other people at the baby shower might question it and be upset though. ~JaDe~

Yeah, hopefully it was just a joke. Even if it was supposed to be for when the baby is older I don't think people should use objects to spank their kids.
