To not want it to always be left to me!

NC for this!

My DP of 6 years has always left getting gifts for people to me, but loves giving input into what 'we' should get. I say 'we' because I always end up paying. I used to love getting gifts, not extravagant but thoughtful ones, now it's just a chore!

His DSis's twins are turning 3 this weekend. He wasn't sure he wanted to go and see them(another story), but has just decided we will go across in the afternoon.

I was looking for gifts, suggested a little camera each (a VTech type, nothing fancy) he said no, sticker books. I hate sticker books. I said perhaps he could look for something for them/pick some sticker books up if he was sure, he said it's me that wants to get something so I should look!!

AIBU to have said nah, probably won't be delivered in time so we'll just see if we see anything when we're out (we don't go out)? He went along with it but I can see them ending up with nothing.

It's always me that gets for everyone, if I didn't no one would get anything!

Possibly just a bit touchy today but jeez!

Buy the gifts without any involvement either physical or verbal.
