Is it unfair to request family NOT to buy toys for Christmas?

LO has lots of toys already and doesnt really need or want anything else. We don't have any toys that are ready to be thrown out or taken to the charity shop and I refuse to just mindlessly clear out toys that are perfectly good just to make room for piles of toys that will be gifted.. We of course are going to bu...

The Danger of Oversharing!!

Do you overshare??? Has there been anytime you share something and you wish you can take it back? Is oversharing a temporal fix or long-term solution to whatever makes us share??? Thanks for your contribution!

30th Birthday

Not baby related: My 30th was last month and I’m still so resentful about it. I literally got NOTHING on the day. No cards, no presents, no cake, no nothing. I’m not one for cards or presents. I’m an adult, I can get my own things 🤣 but it’s the lack of effort that has upset and annoyed me and I don’t think…

SAHM

What do you gift your husbands for Christmas? My husband is hard to shop for and now that I’m not working I don’t really have much money. I don’t want him to have nothing to open Christmas morning.

How materialism stole Christmas

I think we’ve forgotten what Christmas was all about and it has turned into a hyper materialistic holiday fueled by all retailers. The whole point was to give to those in need, spend time with family and be there for each other and creating new memories we would cherish all of our lives. It’s not to go in debt to ma...

Advent calendar

My MIL bought it for my son. She wanted to keep the tradition as my husbands late and beloved grandmother used to buy it for my husband, even when he was in his early 30s 😅 sadly she passed away two years ago. She wanted to make my husband and her son happy. I just don't feel a mini Kinder chocolate is a good thing…

Couponing

Does anyone here do couponing/know how to? I’ve seen some people do it before- it’s always so awe inspiring- but I’ve never met anyone I know who does it. I would really love to learn or get some tips perhaps 🤔

If your child has a birthday party, do you send thank yous to people who gave gifts?

My daughter is 2, and it seems like we get thank yous half the time or less. I don’t need anything fancy, a text message or any acknowledgment would be fine! Just curious what the norm is

Grandma inlaw is a nightmare...

I'm going to sound like a total bitch here but I'm gonna say it anyway. Grandma buys absolute rubbish for presents for little one. She ONLY uses amazon, she won't order from anywhere else and she won't physically go out Christmas shopping. So 9 out 10 gifts she buys are tat, absolutely cheap crap that you'd get ...
