Don’t want to hear comments from those who are against it, thanks. I don’t see anything wrong in giving a gift to a woman as an appreciation for all that she’s been through. It’s normal in my culture.

I’m having trouble trying to find toys for my daughter. She is my second child, so she has my son’s toys to play with. I

Cutting a long story short, I have a friend who I lost touch with for about 8 years (nothing happened we just naturally drifted apart). Anyway I bumped into her 4 months ago and we have been in touch since. She has leukemia which has spread so she just started treatment. It was her birthday and I wanted to get her...

Do you agree to doing this? Lo is 4 and only goes to her house for an afternoon every 3 weeks on average...

Baby dad not seen our son for almost a year and posts a card with £200 in for Xmas. He claims he’s trying to do better in order to see his son (for reasons). Yet goes out and spends more than £200 on clothes for himself the same day!

Originally my husband and I agreed no christmas gifts for eachother this year just the kids since money is tight, I kind of prompted that idea knowing I'd probably get nothing anyway, but then we changed it to stockings and one gift for eachother and now it's just kinda whatever we want. I got him two gifts was plan...

I ordered gifts for my son on December 7th and it hasn’t even been shipped yet. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

It’s Christmas shopping time and my MIL is so exhausting. My husband and I are spending our money to buy Christmas gifts for everyone in the family. She keeps dictating what we give each person. My husband bought his uncle a fifty dollar bottle of his favorite whisky and my MIL reallocated it to her man, because tha...

I picked an appropriate sized Picasso tile set for the amount of kids but is this insensitive? Should I find separate gifts for them? I have a small budget at a lot of families to buy for. ($50 per family 5 families)

Because I'm not 🤣🤌🏾😵‍💫...

Is it crazy to get my baby a Xmas gift?? He’s due May 26th🤣🤗

I've never really been Christmas shopping before but I went for the first time last night. We wanted to let our toddler pick out an early Christmas gift for herself. I had SEVERAL adults (without children accompanying them) either try and shove their way through me with my toddler or give us death stares when I didn...

My MIL told me that’s way too friendly to do and I shouldn’t have sent a card. I mean she plays a huge part in mine and my daughter’s life. It’s not like I got her a gift?

Is this okay for a Christmas Eve box for a 1 year old?

Instead of buying stuff to put in our son's (he's 2) stocking we decided to go through his toys he hasn't played with in a while and wrap up what's still age appropriate and that we think he'd enjoy and put those in his stocking so he has more to unwrap on Christmas without having to buy stuff he m.y or may not end ...

Not sure what she got but it’s just annoying.

Those “what’s his is mine” stay at home mums, what’s your take on this? 👀 I used money that was gifted to me for my birthday/Christmas that has been accumulated over the years by family to get my husband a his birthday presents and Christmas presents. Doesn’t seem fair to use family money for personal gifts imo…

What are some stocking stuffer you would get your man. I need some ideas, he is so hard to shop for that I am not sure what to get besides a bar of soap.

Husband hasn’t bought me a present yet, hasn’t bought me anything from my son which is what matters the most to me, it’s too late for online shopping, I’m going to get some sort of last minute ‘that’ll do’ present out of Tesco, or I’ll be waking up on Christmas with nothing. It just annoys me that he never thinks. N...

We have always had stockings hanging at Christmas but have never actually used them. I want to make use of them this year. I dont want to put presents in them. Does anyone have any alternative things they fill them with?
