OK, so I'm very ungrateful. This morning the Xmas parcel arrived from xp and his mother. It contains 2 nice new pullovers the wrong size and smelling of smoke, a couple of packets of chocolate money, a couple of packets of sweets, and a big bag of marbles, which I've removed as I'd rather not take the risk of DD (2 and a half) choking to death on one of them.
Why don't people consult parents about xmas presents? Why is a bag of marbles a good present for a 2 year old? Is it too much to ask that you don't keep children's clothes in a smokey atmosphere? Am I the xp / ex DIL from hell? Can I get any more ungrateful if I try? Should I ring up and say thank you?!
Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!
