I grew up with very little...4 kids and it was the 70s, most people where I grew up had few toys and clothes...th area was very depressed and as a result I have gone overboard at Christmas when buying fo the DDs. They are 7 and 3 and DH hates that I end up buying tonnes of gifts.....he rightly thinks that around 7or 8 well chosen and good quality presents is plenty along with a stocking....but in my mind, I see that less than 25 things to open is a failure.
Its some kind of chip on my shoulder from growing up poor I think....DH and I aren't well off but we're doing well at the moment and I keep wanting to buy EVERYTHING they like on TV.
How many presents is ok? How many is "right"?
I want to get DD1 a DS and DD2 some kind of toddler computer thing....they like numerous stuff on the ads....board games etc.
HOw much is too much?
