to be annoyed that DH won't label his presents?

He does this every year. After days of nagging gentle reminders, he finally wraps his presents and puts them under the tree. But he doesn't put any labels on, he insists that he knows which is which just by looking (and to be fair, he generally does).

This really annoys me. DH assures me that its perfectly normal to leave them unlabelled, and even if its not, he loves that it winds me up every year. So I told him he was going on AIBU. So AIBU to be annoyed?

No you are a control freak

YANBU, although I generally don't bother to label, and assert that I can tell which is which by feeling and usually can. I also did all my xmas shopping in one day, which was yesterday [checks pants for penis]

yabu.
only because you want to know which presents are yours and that ruins the surprise.

StayingSantasGirl · 24/12/2009 13:19

Yes, YANBU if he's doing it on purpose to wind you up!!

Merry Christmas!

YABU. What does it really matter?

Morloth · 24/12/2009 13:22

LOL, we didn't label presents this year as DS can read now and the couple that have been labelled (from other people) have been subjected to much scrutiny and guesswork (but no touching!).

Much more fun to torture each other IMO.

Ha I'm a control freak too. DH never writes the name on the envelope when he does cards. it drives me MAD.

So YANBU

DH does this. I used to be cross with him but then I realised it really doesn't matter and had another mince pie.

JaneiteQuiteRight · 24/12/2009 13:54

YANBU

ChrisMissWooWoo · 24/12/2009 14:13

you're getting presents?

NorbertDentressAngel · 24/12/2009 14:14

I don't always label ones that go under our tree for DP and the DC.

If they have names on the DC will spend ages trying to guess whats in them. If they don't have names on its not half as tempting for them as they have no idea which is theirs to poke, prod,shake etc
