DH and presents from DC

DC is 4, 5th Xmas. I always get presents for daddy from DC, this year DC was more interested so helped me pick and we talked about what we got daddy but it's a secret for Xmas day - fairly sure they might forget everything but it was nice they were interested.

Every year birthday and Xmas DH gets me presents but doesn't specifically think of what to get from DC. He doesn't do labels anymore and I've said it would be nice to have one thing from DC, just label it at least from DC.

I heard them talking during bath time a couple of weeks ago, DH asked DC what to get mummy, DC said earrings. I didn't let on I heard but I was so happy. Now DH is wrapping and he said DC had picked some wrapping paper, I asked if that was for their presents to us because I can use it for daddy presents as well. dH said oh I don't know, I haven't really done presents from DC.
It was obvious I was upset and he said DC doesn't even know what DH has got me.
I know it's not a big deal but I'm gutted. DH is now annoyed at me.

I've done everything for everyone, buying, wrapping, ideas, cards and I just wanted one thing from DC. I know I have presents but it's not the present, it's the thought or even just the listening and responding to what I have asked for every year. Not asking anything really, just having a rant into MN to try and get it out of my head.

You are going to tell him clearly that it’s IMPORTANT that he teach his dc how to value their mother and he needs help to do that.

tell him it’s non-negotiable

And stop doing DH gift buying for his family if you’re saddled with that, he’s a grown arse man and now a dad and needs to set an example

lazy fucker
