There was a thread on here a few months ago about showing our children that we DO matter on special occations by buying ourselves a present, with wrapping and bows and everything.
Just like we do for everyone else and try to make their days as special as we can, we always get overlooked. It's rare or not very often that lone parents receive gifts and for those who have no family around it's a very rare thing indeed.
Someone said that it means it's showing the kids that mums/dads birthday and mums/dads present for christmas doesn't matter as they used to it.
On this thread was a pledge that we all buy ourselves something, wrap it up and leave it under the tree with everything else (if possible). Feeling guilty about it is not allowed.
I can't remember what everyone said they were going to treat themselves to and I want to know if anyone has actually done it.
Yeah, ok I cheated a little. I'm using mine already.
So, what are you going to buy yourselves for Christmas? Have you done it?
