Who's betting when the ungrateful posts will start?

Nearly 7.30 and I haven't seen one yet!

I thought it was more about those threads where people complain about the gifts they've received. I often see those and think "Huh...I'd love that!"

For some people it isn't a whinge Op, for some people it will be the last straw that gets the divorce started in the NY. I'm lucky, I have a good partner who buys lovely, thoughtful presents so no whinging from me

It was. But there's always one on here. Then a few more.

Some people will whinge because they're ungrateful but for some people being 'ungrateful' is a symptom of deeper problems within the relationship of whoever the ingratitude is directed towards.

I'm personally a fan of "the boy done good" posts. Said 'boy' is always a fully grown man who slightly resembles a thumb and 'done good' is always either jewellery or a handbag. I like seeing people happy.

I think I'm the one miffed at ungrateful here. DH wants to take gifts back and use the money 'for some cycling gear'. Ok so I got it wrong and chose him some tops he clearly isn't keen on but I'm wondering why he can't just fake it

I think sometimes ungratefulness is just a sign someone doesn't have much financial independence.

I don't really mind what gifts I get as I earn well and have a reasonable budget to spend on myself each month.

When I was a v poor single mum/before that when exH used to depend all our money on himself, I used to quietly feel upset by ill thought out gifts etc because gifts were the only time there was any possibility I might get something nice for myself

It can also reflect deeper problems in the relationship. DH and I pretty much evenly split chores /childcare etc. but I guess if one person is doing nearly everything they might feel the gift ought to reflect that.
