he moans at me every year for the last 3 years because I spend £40 on 2 different children I've never met when we could apparently be spending it on our son on top of everything else he bloody gets!

Let me explain, in our local shopping centre they ahve a big christmas tree thingy with names on all the branches and you pick as many as you like, they are in the local NCH care homes, every year I pick 2 because although we are a bit skint I think that £40 isn't much considering it will give a child one or two presents on christmas morning.

But as usual I've picked one just younger than 2YO DS so that I cna put in a bag of clothes he has outgrown along with one or 2 small pressies and I've picked a 10YO girl and always set myself a limit of £40 so have it all budgetted for. and DP has started his moaning already because that could get DS something which I really dont see the point in when Ive already spent £60 on him and he will get from family anyway he has too much as it is so whats the blardy problem.

I'm probably not making any sense but if you kind of understand what Im saying could you please tell me AIBU on 2 parts here?

  1. Is DP right and AIBU to think hes a total wanker under the circumstances
  1. To always always do this every year for 2 random children?

Its a lovely thing to do. Is your husband called Scrooge? Baaaaah humbug!

What a fab idea! You are exemplifying what Christmas is all about. Good for you!

Does anyone know if there is something similar going on in the Guildford area? I'm going to enquire at Tesco when I'm next there and see if they might start something.....

P.S. Don't agree with calling other people's husbands nasty names having never met them myself, but I may make an exception in this case.....
