being p**off due to dh getting me xmas prezie on boxing day due to guilt

[lilLAURAand4poorlykids]

he bought a wii xmas eve which was something we decided months ago would be nice for all family then told me it was my xmas prezie - i went for a bath xmas eve when i came downstairs he had set it up and was playing it with his mate.
i thought there you go again luike the laptop two years ago that he bought me he uses it more than me and refers to it as "our laptop" now

xmas day i had no prezies from him or 4dc

was not impressed - not help setting up toys or putting in batteries, no help sorting prezies night b4

i told him he had ruined my xmas due to me being in a sulk thought i might have got a surprize pressie

boxing day he was on his break from work and bought me a pair of boots and when he gave me them he actually said "this is your xmas present " becaus ei felt sorry for you yesterday

thanks for all the comments ladies, it has been an on going thing, and i realise that maybe i shouldnt expect anymore or less than what im used to , birthdays, xmas, valentines, mothers day even our first and second anniversary but i had a chat with him last night saying that the boots were lovely (pink timberlands with fold overs) what mum wouldnt be happy with that, i think that it was more of the fact that there is a whole year between xmas's , i got him the franky boyle dvd that he wanted, homer simpson slippers from he kids, his fav sweets from kids and (gigles permitted) a thong that has a bulls face on it and says mooooo.

i have already told him what i would like for mothers day and said that it woud be godd idea to get it in january sales and hide it lol - and yes i think alot of it is due to there not being not as much help as i need right now maybe this xmas prezies thing just trigered off some underlying issues i had

but we had a long chat last night - and all is well we bought eachother prezies from lovehuni last night to try and get our relationship back into normality after having baby number 4 - this pregnancy has really put us out of balance i think ..

This has to be a joke.

you cannot be serious?

db and ttpt what do u mean not serious , or a joke on my behalf or his ?

I think your dh was trying to make it up to you by buying a present on boxing day. Maybe he realised you were upset on xmas day and did what he could to make it right.

We have decided to replace our tv, so I told dh I wasn't bothered whether he bought me a present or not, I bought him a couple of small things from the dd's and he bought me a couple, but it honestly wouldn't have bothered me if he didn't.

I think your post of 9:15 was a joke and you clearly forgot to put the {wink] at the end.

"(pink timberlands with fold overs) what mum wouldnt be happy with that?"
Lots actually as you know

"thong that has a bulls face on it and says mooooo. "
words fail me.

"
i have already told him what i would like for mothers day and said that it woud be godd idea to get it in january sales and hide it lol - "
no one does this surely

"and all is well we bought eachother prezies from lovehuni"
use of the word huni for extra comedic effect.

Twinset you saidwhat i was thinking but wasnt sure wheter to say
Pink timberland turnover booots just not my sup of tea.

oh i see the timberland boots are a must for me being little and havng the two dd in adouble buggy and ds and dd1 to keep tabs on couldnt do that in many other types of shoes lol

words fail you RE thong - why would you say that i didnt realise that novelty gifts were any diffrent to other types

as for my comment about mothers day prezzie , i did mean it in jest to him. about the Jan sales but then again some people do dont they some people are out ther doing next years crimbo shopping
and in regards to my use of Huni lovehuni instead of lovehoney does that really matter so its a shorter word (abbr) but you all knew what it said it is pronounced the same when read .

my issue was the fact that i didnt get a prezzie on xmas day even tho for a fortnight before hand dh was asking what i would like and saying not to touch the money in our joint account as he needed it for my xmas present - and i was upset on xmas day to find i didnt actually have anything apart from something that he bought for his own use and said it was for me next year im expecting mens sox and boxers lol

yes i think he prbably did get me the boots on boxing day to make up for it and i did appreciate it but cant help feeling let down xmas day could i

I would get myself something i really want next year and give it to him-see how he likes it.

lol how funny - i might just do that now lets lighten the mood and come up with ideas on what i could get that is truely and utterly feminine

Well i collect dolls,so my DP would be well chuffed!

Isn't this the same as all the 'erotic lingerie' my DH always gets me for presents. Every year I drop hints on how I only wear white or cream as you can see others through all my clothes. Every year I get red and black, purple and black etc. No-one is seriously suggesting that these are really for me are they!!

smiley - my DH does that. Not so much the colours but things with camisole tops or teddies instead of bras - I'm 43 and have fed 3 babies for years, I might not have much left but what I do have needs restriction! So it is clearly not for me DH would admit it actually. I like boring white or black cotton undies with minimal lace.

oh the perils of letting men choose presents!
we don't normally bother much with presents for each other, just a few surprises on xmas day but this year we decided we would get the expensive ones as the kids are older and have way too much stuff. he wanted a guitar so I said he could only have a guitar if I had the equal amount for a lap top,and here it is. Because he knew which guitar he wanted he ordered it and had it delivered to my work, I wrapped it and gave it to him on xmas, I gave him the spec for my laptop which he went out and bought and wrapped. DD got a wii and DS got a voucher for clothes as he is earning his own money. Everyone is happy

YANBu.DH and I always buy presents for each other which we open on Christmas day.
