AIBU to want to give my children a Christmas present?

[Frogandbear]

I'm currently wrapping presents and my husband is having a tantrum. I said that I wanted the main present to be from Mummy and Daddy and the smaller gifts in the Santa sack to be from Father Christmas. Husband is furious and says that all presents should be from Father Christmas! He is obsessed with having everything his way and can't see my point of view.

I've taken the time to carefully pick out presents I know the children will love (he picked one present...) - surely I'm not be unreasonable to want at least one of the presents to be from Mummy and Daddy? Why the heck should Father Christmas take all the credit for the gifts?

AIBU to want to have my children know that Mummy has bought them a present?

yanbu op

no way am i having the kids thinking that the ps4 and games that ive grafted my arse off for by doing overtime, selling stuff on ebay and doing without to save up for has come from fucking Santa!

everyone knows that Mummy and Daddy tell Santa what to bring and give him the money for them.

I think the idea that parents buy the gifts and give them to Santa to be delivered very odd. I have never heard of anyone saying that before. It makes Christmas all about money and what parents can buy for their offspring. I think that's putting a monetary value on something that is meant to be magical. That's why Santa only brings smaller, stocking gifts - that he magics up himself. They're not meant to come from a shop at all - not in my world anyway!

Yanbu OP!!

My 2 are 7 and 10 and they get one present each plus a family gift (usually a board game) from Santa and the rest is from DP and myself.

I don't want some fictional fat guy in a red suit taking all the credit for our hard slog!!

stocking/sack/pillowcase in morning from santa and then after lunch open gifts under the tree from family to each other including children. Why would mummy and daddy buy everyone a gift and not their children?
