To think my mum should still buy me an advent calendar?

[ProudBadMum]

This year she hasn't! She isn't even ashamed either. Apparently I'm too old but I think that's bullshit.

She's ruined Christmas for me now. How am I meant to know when Christmas Day is if I can't countdown with chocolate?!

Should I go no contact with her now? She bought my child two! One for my house and one for hers. I'm sick of the favouritism.

*Disclaimer: kind of lighthearted. Kind of genuine.

Cancel the cheque. And maybe go NC after New Year (she might redeem herself with a fabulous Christmas present)

The real trouble starts when they forget the selection box on Christmas Day!!

If the selection box isn't there this Christmas then I am done. The woman will become a stranger to me

I'll be 40 this month, my mum bought me an advent calendar without chocolate. I'm so neglected.

I've got a haribo one!

My mother has never once bought me an advent calendar. How’s that for bad parenting!

The Christmas she stops buying me a selection box however will be the day we part ways forever more! I think I’ll send her a text with those very words right now.

I've got a Shopkins one.

I'm 28 and literally have no idea what Shopkins are but it was the last one left in the shop. DP has a Paw Patrol one
DS has Trolls.

I think you should go no contact with your mum, it's the only way.....

I'm 36 and my mum always buys me one!

This year she suggested NOT buying me Christmas pyjamas. I could have had an extra present instead.

MADNESS.

Its obligatory that we all get new pyjamas, preferably matching design but different colours. It doesn't matter that I don't see my sisters on Christmas morning. It's tradition!

I reminded her we'd be the ones choosing her home one day so she'd better behave.

I'm going to tell my mum that she's the worst mum ever and everyone else has them.

I get pjs and slippers every Christmas from mum. If it stops then so does my love

Phew I am so relieved!

DD is 21 and got her advent calendar as usual. I am dreading the day she turns round and tells me she is too old. Looks like that might not be for a while yet if you lot are anything to go by!

My mum still gets me an advent calendar this year it's a Yankee candle one with festive tea lights in each day ooooooh!!!

I bought one for my DD (she is 27) and I hid it in my bedroom and made her hunt for it

Are Childline aware?

Childline are not aware yet. She is picking up the baby for a sleepover in a hour so giving her the chance to turn up with one for me...

My mum got upset because I wouldn't let her buy me one as I don't like chocolate!

I like the sound of the haribo one. My dog and cat have advent calendars though!

Apparently DH has bought me a Yankee Candle one but it's not here yet!

My mum said I was too old when I was a teenager. I showed her... I bought myself one with great glee when I went to uni, and most years since then

She didn't bring me a calendar!

Ltb OP

My mum buys me and my sister one.
I'm 51, she's 57.

Didnt know that adults still had advent calendars until I read about it on mumsnet. My (now adult) child complained about lack of variety in their 24 gift calendar so they no longer get one. But I doubt they'll go NC while they still get Christmas gifts.

I didn't get an Easter egg either....
