Who's betting when the ungrateful posts will start?

Nearly 7.30 and I haven't seen one yet!

🤣

I'm assuming this sort of thing as ungrateful.

One year I got HALF of a bayliss and harding gift set - the hand cream. Open and part used. I'm afraid I winged a little bit.

Mmm….about 12ish?

@Perhapsanorhertimewouldbebetter well now you mention it… 😂😂
Nah, I’m enjoying the peace!

Think there was one already, someone got a restaurant voucher.

Same. Was up late wrapping and setting the scene and Mumsnet kept me company !

I'm guessing that the op meant this to be lighthearted rather than how some have taken it.

Being given half a used hand cream, rage but laugh.

Flogging yourself to make sure everyone has a lovely thoughtful day, you get naff all, rage and seriously think about life/relationship.

Working hard to get through Christmas without being abused, in any of it's terrible forms, rage and run.

Aibu was, of course, way ahead of chat. I was just "lighten the fuck up, fuckers!"

I think people have these weird expectations of Christmas being wonderful and amazing and warm and fuzzy. I merely expect an anti-climactic, little-bit-shit day of getting far less done than I create for later. Buy crap, give crap, receive crap and await disappointment and all will be fine. I'm gonna have a lovely day with family. Hope you all do too!

Just glad I'm not on waking night shifts still.

I got one! I’m delighted! Fabulous restaurant in town that gets nothing but great reviews and we haven’t been yet! So looking forward to using it….🍷🥂

I'm impressed it was only a little bit.

I don't expect diamonds or expensive gifts. But I expect my family to know what I like - and I do like candles and books and fluffy socks etc despite what many on MN can't abide!

Well seeing as I've just read someone disappointed that her dh didn't make a massive song and dance over a replacement engagement ring Christmas present I reckon ingratitude out in force already.

Merry Christmas!!!

Also waiting for the mouldy turkeys and the "he had one job , to get the bread sauce and he forgot. Christmas lunch is ruined" And the "is 9pm acceptable to be sitting down for Christmas dinner?"

It's all so pathetic. People need to chill out.

Damn, I have actually forgotten the bread sauce 😕

😂

As in I got a round the world trip, a diamond ring, a complete new wardrobe from dior, the contacts of selfridges, harrows and liberty but it's still not enough, wahhhh.

That type of ungrateful.

Projection? Much?

I suppose it depends on the quality of your relationship and the context how ungrateful you are. If you get a used hand cream from MIL, you can bet that she's not keen on you. Conversely if your DH goes overboard with presents, has he bought the same for an OW you don't know about? I posted that I bought my own present, but I've just had my birthday and DH got me a wonderful and romantic present, so he was all out of ideas.
I do love these threads, but feel for those whose presents feel more like a kick in the teeth.

Think there was a shortage this year I had to go round 4 different shops to find any

Can I start then as I've already been called ungrateful for my gift, let's see what you all think.

ExDH (ex for 4 years!) got a vasectomy, for me apparently and was pissed when I didn't leap back into bed in gratitude (I was also called a spiteful bitch alongside ungrateful).

Some context - I asked 8 years ago, he said no, fine, so I got sterilised after DC3 so most pointless present ever.

One thing about me is I will always be happy to receive a bayliss and harding esque gift. Anything with nice bottles that looks like it could have been nicked from a hotel 😂

Bloody hell - I think I’d prefer the used Bayliss and Harling 😳

I don't think 'sterilisation' and 'Christmas' are really pairing up in my head ...

Although there was one woman on here years ago whose husband bought her a private hysterectomy for Christmas because she'd mentioned period pain. She was more bewildered than anything.

Ok, didn't have that one on my MN Christmas bingo card.

Me too - although I’d shove it up his arse
