To not understand how not only does she not have ANY of her kids presents by now never mind have wrapped them.....

[SophieU]

One of my very close friends has a friend, who I see occasionally when we all meet up for coffee or lunch, we aren't close or anything. She has posted on Facebook this morning that she hasn't wrapped any presents, each to their own and all that but I asked her why, and she said that none of them have arrived yet! Aibu to think that by Christmas Eve eve if you want to call it that, that most people would have all of their presents bought or maybe just a few last minute bits to get? I cannot believe how unorganised she is considering she has five children to buy for, I'd be seriously pooping myself now if I hadn't had bought a single thing or had them here to wrap.

Christmas isn't Christmas presents. So close to Christmas and this is what you have to worry about? Lucky you.

[PopcornFrenzy]

Maybe she knows how judgy you are and is winding you up

[LocatingLocatingLocating]

We will be wrapping presents tomorrow night

[Somethingisntactuallyanything]

Just can't believe anyone would give a rats arse about this kind of thing. Mind numbing.

[Thurlow]

Maybe she knows how judgy you are and is winding you up

Each to their own, OP. Maybe her kids aren't that fussed by getting loads of presents?

[Philoslothy]

So you'd leave it until Christmas Eve to buy all of your presents for five children

We buy all our presents over the last weekend before Christmas, in the past that has fallen over Christmas Eve. We have seven to buy for

I love a bit of last minute Christmas shopping.

I've never started mine until the second week of December, at the earliest , even when the ds's were little.

Dh and I would often be wrapping on Christmas Eve, it felt really exciting tbh.

[ilovesooty]

Can't imagine why I'd "raise an eyebrow" in RL either.

[Philoslothy]

We wrap on Christmas Eve every year, usually about 1am!

[RudeElf]

Why do you even care?

Sounds like you dont like her and are looking for reasons to justify it.

[SophieU]

I'm not stressed at all no, I've spent the day baking with the kids and watching Christmas films, but that's because I can relax knowing that all my presents are wrapped and put away, I wouldn't be able to sit down for five minutes never mind spend any time with my kids if I'd have chosen to leave it until the last minute!

[SaucyJack]

There are people out there who rape and starve their kids, and beat babies to death and this is what you cat's bum mouth at?!

[seven201]

I don't think it's bad at all and I don't see how will affect the children's Christmas at all!

[UntilTheCowsComeHome]

Maybe they're having a joint present that doesn't need wrapping.

A holiday to Disneyland or something.

[SophieU]

I don't particularly love this person, she's not really my cup of tea but I don't need to justify this, I just think she's unreal for leaving everything until the last minute? I could t think if anything worse (Christmas related that is)

[StillStayingClassySanDiego]

Well you can pat yourself on the back that you're super organised. .

Here's your , Merry Christmas.

[TheOptimisticPessimist]

The fact that she said that none of them have arrived get suggests they've all been ordered online...Christmas Eve shopping is one thing (and fine if you like the crowds) but leaving yourself at the mercy of delivery?! That's just playing Christmas Roulette!

[CarlPoppaJaJiggyJarJardoo]

Ive got six kids and I'll be buying the majority of the presents tomorrow and I never spend Xmas eve with my kids because they spend it with my dad.they'll be getting presents so does it matter when I buy them.xmas isn't a big deal to lots of people me included it's just one day

[RudeElf]

I wouldn't be able to sit down for five minutes never mind spend any time with my kids if I'd have chosen to leave it until the last minute!

Well then you got your priorities all wrong honey!

[BuggersMuddle]

Not getting 'aloof'. I only have 3 adults to buy for & all gifts were purchased within the last week. I assure you they are all thoughtful (I spent more time thinking than shopping). Obviously I might buy earlier if I was looking for a particularly popular item or buying for loads of people, but I don't think presents bought close to the date inherently worse than those bought early!

In fact I know DP ordered some bits ages ago for me that are still not here. I should probably be really offended

[SophieU]

From what she's told our mutual friend yesterday she has a list as long as her arm! She's ordered some things online last minute but they haven't arrived yet, and she's having to leave her kids with her sister and brother in law (who already have four children) tomorrow whilst she goes trapsing round the shop trying to find gifts and see if they're in stock, now come on are you seriously going to tell me that all that constitutes a relaxing happy Christmas Eve for her and her kids?

[ilovesooty]

Lots of parents will have been working today as well.

Do you judge everyone who doesn't think and behave like you?

[Youarentkiddingme]

Why would they need 10 things each? Maybe she's popping into town and getting them an item of clothing, book and board game each? Maybe she doesn't want to buy them the game they 'must have' or item of clothing 'that's so in' at the beginning of December when by Christmas Eve fashion has changed again completely and a different game is 'epic, and must be played'

Why do you care? I'd imagine with 5 kids her life is extremely busy and perhaps she's been spending time with the children and that's why she hasn't shopped yet. I very much doubt not spending tomorrow with them will scar them for life.
