Yesterday we spent the day at my dad & stepmum's having 'xmas day'. Lovely day as stepsister, her husband and 2 children were there so my dd loved playing with them etc.
It came to present giving time as everyone was going to open presents together and as stepsister and husband opened all their lovely presents from my dad and stepmum we were handed one present which was a really cheap photo frame - and that was it - to be honest it was a bit embarrassing as my dad obviously couldn't be bothered to put any effort into thinking about a present. I'd spent loads of time making a hamper for them with lovely goodies and a really nice bottle of wine that I knew they'd enjoy.
I know its only a present, but I have so many issues with my dad as although I know he loves me, he just makes me feel like he couldn't give a damn, and sitting around playing happy families was just quite frankly embarrassing.
Am tempted to hold onto the frame and give it back to them next year, they also gave my brother and his wife the same one...
