Ode to a very close relative!!!!dont ask me what my DD wants for christmas

[stoppinattwo]

If every friggin time I make a suggestion you completely disregard it ...I hate suggesting gifts for her anyway as I see it as being very presumptuous.....so when I do think of something appropriate (taking into account cost and whether she will actually like it of not)dont find a reason to say why you think that would not e a good idea!!!!! please stop asking my opinion if you are not gonna listen to me grrrrrrrrr raaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Yes this drives me mad too! As if I don't have enough to do around Xmas without giving everyone specific lists of what I want, my DH wants, and my DS wants. then taking instructions from them about waat they exactly want..What is the friggin point?!!

I have an amazon wish list, which I keep up to date all year with things I'd like, things that appeal, things I might buy myself.

At Christmas if anyone asks I am happy to share the list. The relatives that ask now say they are going to do the same thing.

I have also been doing the same thing for DS, just vague ideas and things I think he'll like. I'm really hoping this will take the heat off!

Darn it, just caught myself singing the new words to Santa Baby.

Must not do this at in laws house!
