Is it just my partner ?

He feels Easter and Christmas are commercialised so doesn't want to get the kids much but says if I want to I can. Which then means the cost is left to me. For birthdays he feels one present is enough so I get the rest. I get they are his beliefs but it seems bloody unfair

Would you be offended if another child/parent gifted your child second hand toys for their birthday?

My daughter was invited to the party but we couldn’t go that day. I let her choose a toy from the second hand shop anyway to give to her friend. She chose three plastic horses, two lightly used but one of them looks more obviously in used condition. We are really struggling as a family at the moment, and now I’m won...

What would you do?

If you don't have a car and you just got your taxes (say, for instance), would you use that to pay off your debt first and then get a car, or would you get a car first and then pay off your debt? What would you do?

Gift ideas for my midwives

My little one is coming out anytime now and I want to get the midwife’s a little gift basket Not sure if it’s better to be generic or snack related. Would appreciate ideas. Photo for attention and was gifted this ourselves. I think it’s a vibe.

Amazon free gift?

Does anyone know how you get the free gift on Amazon with baby wish list? Can’t figure it out. Always adds full price of item at checkout even when I’ve added the £20 worth of items 🫤 confused

Mother’s Day for grandma

Do you get your mum/your partners mum something from the baby for Mother’s Day? I’m thinking maybe a canvus print of him.

Mother's day gift

Would it be appropriate to ask my partner to pay for a tattoo for mother's day? It'll be a tattoo of my son's birthday flower, I'd rather have something that will last forever than some flowers that'll die in a week 😂

Should I pick my own Mother’s Day gift?

Last year was my 1st Mother’s Day, and it was lovely, my partner got me some flowers and chocolate. But he isn’t the most thoughtful gift giver (I made him handprints/photos etc for Father’s Day) I know he’d never do that, so I desperately want something with mama/mommy on 🥲 that I can keep. I was quite sad I…

Is this a weird idea?

I can’t tell if I’m just being awkward lol Okay so I was invited to an employee sale for one of my favorite luxury brands. Got lots of cute and unique pieces but I think I would like to sell some of them off for the cost I bought them for (super discounted) or maybe even give some as gifts to a couple close friends....

What would you do?

So I’ve had no contact with my mum for a month now due to various reasons. Her birthday is on Saturday and I don’t know whether to get her a few gifts from the kids or to just leave it? My daughter has already chosen something for her and made her a card but I don’t know how I’m going to give it to her or if I shoul...

MIL won’t stop gifting cheap stuff

I don’t know if I am being crazy here but my mother in law won’t stop buying tons of toys - and usually of the cheapest quality and all the same…just a loud noisy plastic toy that has buttons and makes a sound. I told her I prefer wood toys that actually have a developmental benefit and teach her something. I am ver...
