To call me partner a dick

So my little girls birthday is on Christmas Day...and I'm talking to him about what else we need to get here. So far all she's got is 6 things..3 for each occupation.. my partner said that is more than enough things for her...is he serious? He's bought his son more than that just for Christmas alone?! There is no way I'm letting her have 3 presents for her birthday and 3 for Christmas!!

What are you buying for DD?

Shallowshallow · 16/12/2018 18:12

I'm sorry but you sound really immature. If you want to buy her more, just do it. 6 is more than enough.

hes not her dad, yabu

What are you talking about? You agreed to buy separately so what has it got to do with him? Just say 'thanks for the input, I've got a few more things to get'. No need to call him names nor to take any notice of him really.

A lot of PPs are saying they can’t see the problem and you should just buy as many gifts as you want.
Well I CAN see a problem!
Your partner apparently thinks your DD is less deserving of presents than his DS. He thinks she should get less for birthday and Christmas combined than his DS gets just for Christmas.
He’s either a sexist shit who thinks boys should get more than girls, or he doesn’t care about your DD (and possibly, by extension, you either)
I can completely understand why you’re annoyed, OP. The big question is, how are you going to tackle this with him?

Your partner apparently thinks your DD is less deserving of presents than his DS

This really depends on what DD's gifts are. If it's a couple of books and small toys or a similar number/value to what his DS has you could argue this point.

However, if her presents are dolls house,laptop, ride on toy horse etc then he could possibly have a point.
