Husband got me a f**king chopping board for Xmas!!!

[Loubymoo27]

That's it really. Some perfume and a chopping board because I've mentioned a few times that we need one for the kitchen!! I feel a little hurt to be honest but he thinks it's hilarious!

He's also buggered off for a nap while I'm sat with my Dd and Dm watching frigging Frozen for the gazilionth time.

Xmas is a bit shit really isn't it!

So spending time with your family to celebrate Christmas isn't as important as you getting a present that you wanted?

Is this how Christmas is going nowadays?. As said unthread. Buy your own presents next time

'I feel a little hurt to be honest but he thinks it's hilarious!

That's about as funny as a maggot sandwich.

Yes you do sound like a spoiled, entitled brat. As if today is all about you

Oh, dear God, all the virtue signallers are out in force today. You're not supposed to ever want a nice present, some people got FA so you should be grateful for a paper sack with rocks in it.

I haven't CremeBrusselsSprouts. That's why I've come on here instead! I've put a smile on for my 4YO. The nap has annoyed me quite a bit. He's been up there about 2 hours now!!!

Dh got me t bags and bff got me an osprey handbag and key ring. Go figure but he has put an offer in on my dream house.

one of these chopping boards?

Better than what I got:

Nothing since we got together in 1999

Pasithea - you have s husband and a boyfriend? How greedy are you 😜

He has put an offer in?
Surely (plural) you have put an offer in?

As to the chopping board, context is all!
An extra present as you'd mentioned needing one - fine.
Personally I'd skin my boyfriend over perfume but be happy with the chopping board!

Go and wake him up! There's no point in sitting around getting resentful.

'Better than what I got:

Nothing since we got together in 1999'

More fool you for wasting your time with a thoughtless, selfish wanker.

DH bought me Swallows and Amazons on DVD and said "I didn't know what to get you" and a hoodie from New Look. I still haven't reacted. It was amusing more than anything.

I've woke him up! Knew I could count on this site to make me feel better and put things in perspective. Even the spoiled, entitled brat comment. I aren't, I promise! Was just needing a rant and I feel better now!

Just give him pictures of exactly what you want and sat navigation on where the shops are to get them. You will never be disappointed again. You needed a chopping board, your perfume is Lovley. A bit of gratitude. What did you give him.?...

Ah - so actually he bought himself a chopping board to cook with

This
Saves all the angst

Ha! I had to order my own Christmas presents and he hasn't paid me for them yet.

Not that I mind, actually. Our favourite earring shop has gone out of business and he has tried, but nothing has jumped out of me. So he is getting me the complete Rivers of London series, which I really, really love. All is well. He is just scared of Internet shopping because he is an utter Luddite.

Well, I got a 4-bar extension lead. Can't see what your problem is

I also got some make up

I would like a new chopping board. Not necessarily Christmas - but a good big wooden one.

The perfume seems a good contrasting present. One useful thing. One luxurious thing.

But I suppose it depends on the 'rules' of your particular relationship...

What's wrong with having a nap?!

He bought u an emerald necklace ! I am so jealous !

I had a chopping board too! And a new peeler.
But also a new flute

He used to buy me nice things, like bracelet and dress.
20 years we've been married and this year, he bought me pressure cooker.
I am still happy though. (I love cooking!)

I got a chopping board from my DD1. I had suggested it myself when she asked what I might like.

I love it. It is a glass one with a picture on it of a labrador dog and an open dishwasher which is waiting to be put on. The labrador has his head inside giving the plates a labrador prewash. Anyone who owns a labrador, as I do, would see the humour in that picture.

I would be underwhelmed with perfume, though would of course graciously accept it. That is just my personal taste though. I never wear perfume or make up and have little interest in them. That said though, I know some people love them and find them the perfect gift.

Paint something nice on the chopping board, then buy another one for him to use. After all, this one was for you.

No, seriously, tell him you're hurt. If he doesn't try to understand, then he is indeed a selfish wanker.

I would buy something like a chopping board for a person who I know likes to cook, but since you live together and HE does most of the cooking, that seems rather selfish.

Did you hint at anything you want? I mean, it is possible he just couldn't think of anything. I often have that problem and then just buy chocolate.

You should tell him you feel hurt, so that it will either not happen again - or he will reveal he really did it because he doesn't care about you, which you really should know if it is the case.
