I’m watching DH wrap presents. I have been sitting on my hands to stop me taking over (and just redoing it).

He’s so crap at it. And it’s like he doesn’t realise he’s doing a piss poor job. How can he not see this? He won’t just cut the paper to size properly, so the paper is all thickly folded and baggy.

I never realised that I was this uptight about wrapping. Turns out, I really care about decently wrapped presents.

Next year, I’ll do what I always do and wrap it all while he’s at work. Then I’ll pretend that it’s such a shame he’s only got my present to wrap.

People are just sloppy. No pride in the art of the present wrap.

There is something really nice about receiving a nicely wrapped present x

I agree l. My husband also used far too much paper.

I wrap all the children's presents and his. He now outsources wrapping mine to the children.
