Did anyone else do progressive Christmas presents?

[TheFSMisreal]

It seems like I'm the only one. According to Facebook atleast. My son is super excited to earn his next lot. There must be others though right?

I thought I was vaguely beginning to understand this thread until OP started on about buttons. Wtf?
I really, really, don’t get it at all.
Where did you get such a convoluted idea of bribing your DC?

@TheFSMisreal are you from Earth

I was thinking perhaps California.

Its additional presents after Christmas. Did none of you get them as a child?

I got presents at christmas and on my birthday. never heard of additional progressive christmas presents, surely thats a bit bonkers?

And the whole concept of 'progressive' presents is puzzling me. Does it mean they have to get better every time? As in more expensive or bigger?

This thread is like a Sudoko, it's got me trying to work out hypothetical solutions that fit the few known facts.

This has got to be bull... surely?? Poor child.

Ugh I hate how everyone just decides to come and lie on here. For what, fun? That's fucked up if you ask me. But hey, shouldn't expect any less from mumsnet ay?

Whose telling lies?

You're a delight aren't you op

Maybe you need some progressive presents yourself. If you are polite for the rest of the day you can have a glass. Say something nice and you can have some wine to go in it

Surely they have earned their presents by being good prior to Christmas or Santa would have brought them coal.

I too want to know what we are all supposed to be lying about? Beginning to think the OP is a button short of a jacket (or dressing gown)

Do you knit your own sandals OP?

Oops...I think I’ve done this by accident. School holidays have a good behaviour box, 3 strikes and he doesn’t get to choose a treat from the box that day. I’ve included lego figures and trains that match his Christmas presents. Each day we start afresh with 0 strikes. Just like a reward chart but with prizes he can touch and feel.

This is purely to make it through school holidays without me loosing my shit.

Have you earned the truth OP?
Let me set you a task and you can earn yourself a half truth and we'll go from there

OP you aren't making any sense.
You haven't explained wtf progressive presents are.
You have been progressively rude to other posters, however. Nice.

Try babycenter or netmums for all-out agreement and back-slapping.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

This is deranged.

I've got a better idea for the books. Why don't you rip out all the pages and progressively give him one page every time he's good?

What do you mean lying?

You haven’t answered questions as to how old your child is. You’ve evaded points that some people are concerned about him. But it’s we mumsnetters, who are fucked up.

DID YOU COME UP WITH THIS SYSTEM? OR DID YOU READ ABOUT IT SOMEWHERE?
I am using caps because you keep missing this question even though lots of posters have asked it.
If you read about it somewhere, can you provide the link please? TIA

Are you a bit mad OP?

A bit MrsDV? I think she started at "a bit", progressed to weirdly eccentric and is now comfortably straddling batshit insane.

Your last post makes me think you are deliberately just being a GF!

OP give your head a wobble. This is complete freakery wankery of the highest order.

So my DC got a Playmobil set for Xmas. There are other smaller sets that go with it but I (the parent) decided the one bigger set was enough for her right now. She may or may not get the smaller sets throughout the new year. If she does it’ll probably be linked to her good behaviour/achievement at school/other good things because I’m not in the habit of giving her stuff when she’s been a terror.

THIS IS NORMAL. It’s not called ‘progressive whatever’. It’s called common sense. You’re just making up wanky names for things to make yourself feel special.

FYI I also like to treat my DC on occasion for no reason at all because I love her and it’s a nice thing to do. Do you know what that’s taught her? How to be kind, different ways of showing someone you care, that making other people happy can give you pleasure.

Honestly, please step back into reality. It sounds hard work and miserable where you are.

Are you alright OP,

I can't see anyone lying I can see lots of people massively confused, because we've never heard of this idea.

To us gifts are just gifts not rewards, that's the way it's been our whole lives do you think were lying, we're not, your asking if we never got them as kids NO we've never heard of this system, no we didn't as get presents like this as kids we don't give our kids or relatives gifts like this. Not every ones family is the same we're not going to lie and say yes we know what the hell your on about when we don't and we've never heard of anything like this,

Try explaining it without being rude; answer the questions being asked.

I take it op doesn’t mean progressive parenting btw. Because that is anti rewards/punishments etc. But hey, we are S T U P I D for not getting it. And liars to boot. Liars about what??
