Partner got me nothing for Christmas, said he’d got me a card so I asked if I could have it (cards/the thought means more to me) reply I got was ‘I only got it yesterday and I’ve not written it yet’ I feel so crap. We had our first child this year, thought maybe a bit of effort would have been made you know seeing as I pushed an 8lb child out of me. I don’t care about no presents, just a f*cking bit of effort would have been nice. Urgh. He’ll go out of his way to buy beers every bloody night, couldn’t have picked me up a card then?! I’ve had his presents/cards (from baby and me) for weeks now. And I’m on rubbish maternity pay!!!! Pass me the baileys!! (But not too much cos looking after an 8 month old obviously)

Why has he not bought you a present? What did he say when you gave him his gift? Is he always a dick to you?

Don't have another child with him. He won't improve with age.

What an arse. Don’t give him his present, take it back to the shop, he doesn’t deserve it.

Don’t give him his presents. Seriously.

All you do is teach him that it’s ok to not value you as you’ll still value him.

I'd be really really hurt by this. I hope you enjoy the rest of your day with your baby Thanks

Who are the 11% of people who think it is unreasonable to be pissed off that that a partner has not only not bothered to buy a present but couldn’t even be arsed to write out a card???

This is how the rest of your life will be if you stay with this man. I'd be having a serious rethink if I were you.

Don’t worry guys, I’ve told him. And I’ve bloody said he best get me something good in the Boxing Day sales to make up for his lack of effort
