Bloody sister ,bloody xmas ,bloody everything grrrrrrr.

[Fiveplusbump]

I am so fed up of it all xmas is meant to be about family and memories and having a great time together .
I am starting to bloody hate it ,we are struggling this year with an unexpected bump , a house move on the horizon and we already have 5 dc to buy for .So for the first time ever we have decided not to buy for anyone except our own dc .
My Mum did this last year and I had no problem with it as I could understand she was struggling and I would rather have a nice day then loads of tat gifts.
My sister is outraged ,I am the reason that she is spending so much this xmas [first I knew] I should not get myself into stupid situations this has pissed me off most she has no right to comment on my family or the size of it they are all happy ,bright and well cared & provided for .
She has no lo's it is just her and her dh but it seems she would rather have a bottle of perfume from us this year and watch us struggle .

I know I am ranting I am just so bloody sick of her assumptions and crappy comments how bloody dare she ?

The only reason we are struggling is because dp has changed jobs and is getting emergency taxed which we are trying to sort out and as I mentioned the bump and house move we are trying to save .

Ohhhh bloody hell I am going to explode.

Oh and this my younger sister BTW not a bossy older one and she is the woman who has everything so of course my gift is so bloody important.

Just ask her to only buy your dcs a selection box each. Or to have a set amount every year, (eg £30) and split it between all dcs, no matter how many. Poor you.

And breathe.
Hard as it is ignore her, you have not asked her to spend money on your family, and imo if she is not supportive of your current situation then she isn't worth worrying over

And you don't have to justify why you are struggling. Times are hard, it's no-one elses business!

I know I always find myself explaining it and then feeling crap about doing it after .
Thankyou all anyway I have been feeling crappy all morning and now feel better thanks to MN (again).
