Should personalised Christmas stockings be M & D for mummy and daddy, or their actual initials?

[Peterrabbity]

I think M & D

DH thinks actual initials of our names.

Kids are aged 1 and 4!

I think that names are better.

initials

Fuxake

Initials of actual names

Initials. Mum is not my real name.

Personalised stockings for adults are cringey as fuck.

First initial of actual name.

First initial. Your names are not mummy and daddy. At 1 and 4 your children already know this.

although certainly get M and D if you’re also getting S and D for Son and Daughter.

Full names, including middle names, plus postcode and house number 👍

It's August

Does a 1 year old know that?

Either way, I really don't think it matters.

Father Christmas doesn't buy for adults in our house.

Sweet Jesus Christ

Actual initials. By the time the children can read they’ll know you have a real name!

While it really doesn’t matter for this purpose it is actually very important that your children learn their parents’ names (first name and surname) so anything that helps with that can only be a good thing.

Yes, He's Christmas!

Actual initials.

It’s August. Christmas topics should not be escaping the specific Christmas forum this early. Please.

YABU not to post this in the Christmas topic.

Really?????

names

Actual initials, not M & D. You still have a name, not just mum!

We use DH’s stocking from his childhood, discovered when PIL were having a clear out. It has his name on, but mine doesn’t match his and isn’t personalised.

Our rule is that Father Christmas only brings stockings and presents for children, so DH and I do the stockings for each other as a treat. Though DD is 11 and doesn’t believe any more, so there’s no need to keep up the pretence 😀

Initials for actual names!

Unless the kids are buying presents for the stockings then it’s your actual name initials. Santa doesn’t fill stockings for mum and dad, they do it for eachother. And it’s not a secret that you have actual names

Actual initials.

Your actual initials. As someone else said, by the time your children are old enough to identify letters they'll almost certainly know you have a real name (funnily enough I was discussing this with my 4 year old yesterday and he was under no illusions on the subject!)
