Forex trading mentor and educator Malaikah Raja, who often documents her life as a housewife in an affluent Middle Eastern city, didn't disclose what her husband did for a living. However, she showed the push presents after she welcomed their second child, a girl, into the world.

Requests impress and upset the internet

Tens of thousands of social media users were intrigued after hearing what Malaikah charged her husband. They flooded the comment section with questions about the man's occupation and wanting such a life for themselves, cracking jokes along the way.

Unfortunately for Malaikah, others thought her requests were excessive.

@redcherriesupmytits told app users:

"This should be normalised."

A curious @boujeejuli wondered:

"Does he have a brother or uncle?"

A saddened @ngoqo5 wrote in the comment section:

"Sending jealousy from South Africa."

@rbfqueenjess2.0 stated their views after watching the clip:

"I’d much rather have a husband who shows me love, care and attention instead of buying all these material things."

@xionui asked with humour:

"Are you looking to adopt?"

After seeing Malaikah's luxurious lifestyle, @garbacz.dorinaa jokingly shared:

"May this love attack me."

An unimpressed @papa.bear.3 commented:

"I can’t believe there are millions of children and adults out there in the world starving, have no shelter, and are very ill, and some people live in unnecessary wealth and spend wildly."

Push present history

A push present is a gift given to a mom after she gives birth, usually from her partner. It’s become popular in recent years, with people gifting everything from jewellery to cute personalised keepsakes.

The idea isn’t new, though. Different cultures have been spoiling new moms for ages. In India, gold jewellery is a big tradition, while Victorian-era moms got special little tokens.

The trend really took off in the 2000s, especially with celebs showing off their gifts.
