So I've been told children appreciate your presence not presents. But I am struggling with this with DS age 2.
Christmas coming up seems to set me off in the sense that I/we didn't have much growing up and I don't want him to feel like I did 
I am lucky to have DS and lucky he still doesn't understand Christmas really. So I might get away with it. But it's hard as I'm a SAHM. So we have to do something all day long.
I try to go out and do things but we are very limited by where we can walk to or get the bus to. I need to arrange some play dates.
Get me motivated to be a better mum and to stop putting toys I can't afford in my online shopping basket
