Do you and DH agree on how many presents you give your DC?

[mootime]

Dh and I had very different childhoods and very different Christmases.
My parents gave us literally likes of presents ( not all big, probably 1/2 big, 3/4 medium and tons of small as well as stocking)
Dh got stocking and 1 present from his parents (but more from other people than we did it appears.

Every year, I feel I'm being restrained and DH thinks I've over done it.
This year I'm planning on stocking plus a main present, plus 3/4 smaller presents present. Id love to then buy various other bits that are too big for stocking, but I know he will go mad ...
Does anyone else have this problem?

I am shocked at the majority of people disagreeing.
Dh agree. Whatever we buy.

My DH is far more generous than I am - I personally loathe going overboard with presents, our 'routine' has always been that I buy the stocking fillers and he gets the 'main' present (s). We have a joint account so all the money comes from the one account but I am a lot more frugal than he is - and yes, he has much better ideas and suggestions than I ever do

We agree a couple of hundred for each child and then I go over this but he doesn't say much really

Agree, We3kingy, I guess maybe the title attracted more people who have disagreements? I am also surprised at fathers who aren't interested in getting involved (as opposed to being less available to) - surely this is one of the really fun bits of having kids?

I might retract that when DS is old enough to demand very specific impossible to find presents.

OP, it seems pretty mean of your DH to let his disagreement spill over into Christmas day. Is there any way to sit down together before the day to discuss?

(Alternatively can you lock him in the kitchen to get dinner ready while the kids open their presents? )

Kids didn't pick up on it. He's really engaged with the kids he just hates stuff, and hates waste. He loves well thought out presents and I do think that this year will be fine. I guess it's more about making sure I don't get carried away with all the extras.
(I may have to do a stocking cull! To avoid a more minor disagreement!)

mootime That sounds a lot better than the impression I'd got earlier - so he is fine with spending the equivalent amount of money on a few carefully chosen "big" presents, but if you drop into the pound shop and add a dozen cheap things to make the pile bigger, he gets all twitchy and "they won't play with them all you know"?
