ok, so I have a friend who has two wonderful little boys. aged 3&4.
she's from a reasonably large family and last xmas they (her DS'S) recived so much stuff that the spare room was filled up, when my friend took it back to the various shops etc, she came away with £600!!!!!!!
that money and money they recieve throughout the year goes into 2 acounts-1 for things throughpout the year e.g. shoes etc and a savings account.
anyway, their birthdays are november and janurary so with xmas inbetween they end up with a very spoiled 3/4 months and nothing the rest of the year iygwim.
I;m trying to sort out who im buying what for xmas, i said to her that considering the amount of stuff they got last year, if it was ok i would give them a card each (she keeps all cards!) and would buy them something around april time, this way it's a be=it more spread around.
anyway she started REALLY going off on one saying i was selfish and ruining her boys xmas, if i was going to be this selfish i could forget about being godmother when they get chrisned (she v randomly asked me one night when DS2 was born and it has never been mentioned since!) she was disgusted that i wouldnt buy them a present etc etc
i never said i WOULDNT buy them a present i would just rather buy them something in april to give them something to break the year up iygwim
so WAS i being selfish? wwyd if someone offered to do this with your DC'S??
