to be totally disgruntled by SIl's opinion that I am overindulging my DC and "will rue the rod for my back"?

I have strived to teach the 4DC the value of monet and to avoid the crapcycle that is materialism.

Notsofarking DSIL has decided to have a Hmm face after a Christmas present discussion has decided that my DC are en route to SpoiltBratsVille and I am ruining them for life.

She believes that swapping DS's satsuma for a plum in his Christmas stocking is pandering to his citrus pernicketiness and will only further enhance food faffiness.

The 4 will also have a pot of bubbles, a pen, a rubber and a walnut in their stockings. All wrapped, which she is flabbergasted about.

They are having a quarter of a set of Mr Men books as their main present and I have managed to obtain an almost complete 500 piece Baked Bean jigsaw puzzle as a joint present to ensure hours of family fun.

"Beyond the pale" is how she describes this bounty. I was going to divide a net of chocolate-flavoured coins between them, but daren't now.

Not to drip feed - she doesn't have DC of her own, so her view may be slightly skewed on this topic.

Do you ever feel judged with regards to your benevolence?

AIBU to feel miffed at this judgeyness?

Almost complete baked bean jigsaw. ROFL

A whole walnut? Each ? I'm with your SIL.

Unless you meant one between the four of them, which is marginally more reasonable, I suppose, assuming you have money to burn.
