Mum guilt

Money is so tight and I’ve literally got my 8 month old 2 presents for Christmas, as I wanted to get the rest of the family a little something as I know they’re getting my little one something, but I feel awful I cannot give her more. I know she won’t remember but I will! 😭

Please do not worry! She has absolutely no concept of Christmas and won't for a couple of years. As far as she'll know, every day she has fun and plays, and then suddenly she'll get some gifts to open too! Since she's never experienced that before, 2 is already super special. 😁 It's so easy to see our expectations as our babies' expectations, but that's really not the case - she just wants your love and to be safe. 😊

@Phoebe your absolutely right it just doesn’t stop you feeling a little guilty does it! Xxx

Just wait until she's getting all the attention on her first birthday. I bet you'll feel better then! 😂😊Xx

I’ve not bought my boy a thing! We’re going on holiday but regardless friends and family keep dropping him loads off! And tbh I could wrap up toys he’s already got and he’d by happy - or he’d just eat the paper! Don’t be so hard on yourself. It’s all about the memories and take lots of photos ❤️

We’re only buying our son a few little bits, saving the larger Christmases for when he’s older! They will be overwhelmed with presents as it is and if anything like my little boy, they will only want the packet it came in so no need to feel guilt at all 🤣 x

My now 3 year old on his first Christmas he spent a full 45 minutes playing with a holographic gift bag ! Couldn’t care less . She’s getting lots of love and what’s better than that !! Two gifts or 2 hundred is just a bonus ! ♥️

I'm going to wrap mine two 'presents' just to see him try and unopen them. one is spoons his favourite 'toy' and the other probably something else he needs . It honestly doesn't matter all they want is you ' all I want for Christmas is you really does apply play the song, listen to the lyrics and don't feel guilty xx

I’ve got my little girl 2 presents. We have 14 nieces and nephews, so we do their birthdays. So I am being really tight with my two presents haha! I always buy her little stuff when out and about. It’s the one year we can get away with minimal. Enjoy it xx

Don't stress hun, I'm literally giving my baby two toys that were her brother's. I'll put it under the tree the night before. She won't care and children enjoy the parents time and attention over gifts any day x
