Thats terrible from your partner who should be leading by example and how old are your children? If they are old enough to buy you something then I'd be really pissed off, unless it was agreed beforehand no presents.
I'd be giving serious thought to ending it with your partner if they think so little about your then what are you doing with them?
I know it’s like wtf now but as long as it’s actually winter when she’s in those sizes you’ll be like omg how handyMy friend mentioned a while ago that she was going to buy my baby an outfit as part of her Christmas present, so I told her what size she’s in now but also suggested getting the next size up as she’s getting big quickly.
Opened her gifts to find a selection of lovely winter clothes in sizes 12-18 and 18-24 months. My baby is 3 months old
I thought my parents present to my children had gone disastrously wrong. Mum had asked what to get them so I said onesies as they love them. They each opened their bags and had a onesie so all well but then I noticed eldest, 13yo boy, had a ladies size 12-14 
Thankfully he didn't seem to notice, it's baggy but fine in length and he loves that it has bear ears so was a total winner in the end
Then, middle's looked small and youngest looked huge. Middle I'd asked mum to get him a 12-13 and he had 10-11, youngest I'd said 9-10 and he had 11-12! Youngest loved his and refused to swap so middle looks like having none until my mum then says she's got another one. Turns out she got a pudsey one cheap in Asda and was just keeping it as a random present if she needed it and it's a 12-13. Middle thinks it's fab so everyone happy and no upsetting my mum!

I'm sorry but you should not be used to that nonsense. You need to kick his/her a because that is not admissible.
You are worth and please don't let a partner make you feel that way. Your partner is the one with a bleeping issue.
Please feel free to reach out if need someone to chat to. Lots of love
Not the case if comparing with other peoples presents including what dh got. I’m not upset or angry just a bit confused. She made it clear it wasn’t a subscription and just a one off box.Or maybe she’s just trying to be more conscious after the last two years…
But I know how ungrateful that makes me sound so I’m not completely unaware.
You didn’t sound ungrateful don’t worry.
See I use to do this when my son was small, but a few years down the line they have either grown out of it already, wrong season or in the case of my child… “gustin mummy”
I havent got a lot to moan about this year haha My secret santa was awesome, some wine and lush bath bombs. My friend who regifts me stuff ive gotten her is ecstatic over my gift to her. Her present to me isnt bad, its still random bits and bobs and plenty of those skincare samples you get free with purchases but I'm not mad about it as its stuff I would use.
I guess if I HAD to moan it would be getting straighteners, as I havent used my old ones in over ten years but I will use them to curl my hair.

I got covid for Christmas 
Same. And then I feel guilty for feeling crappy for not getting a present. Even though a bloody card that the husband had taken the kids to put some thought into choosing and writing would have been enough, you know?
So I basically ran around like a blue arsed fly in the run up to Christmas, stayed up stupid late to put stockings in rooms when they were finally asleep, got up stupid early Christmas morning and spent hours putting stuff together, picking up wrapping paper etc before cooking dinner then had friends showing me all this stuff they’d got and I’d not even got a card.
Then I felt selfish for feeling that way.
Rant over. Hope you’re feeling a bit better today
Confession
I necked the echo falls from the echo falls gift set while doing the washing up. Not really a wine fan but it’s wet and I needed it after a day of my son giving me attitude.
IT WASNT THAT BAD!!!!

Same. Rubbish isn't it! Xx
I love this plot twist!
3 bottles of those 1litre bottles of baileys so far. I like a baileys at Christmas, but I’m very unlikely to drink 3 litres of it in my lifetime
You are not selfish for thinking that way, but if this is what it's always like then why are you still doing these things? Why are you still around unless your partners treat you great all year but don't do Christmas then you are just setting yourself up as martyrs, if your children are very young you are teaching them how to treat you.
Do your children have pocket money? if so next year take them Christmas shopping (if not give them some Christmas shopping money) let them buy you something. It does not have to be your partner. they are clearly not teaching them about the gift of giving so you need to do that for them. Don't be running around like a blue a fly to make Christmas special for someone who doesn't give a rit (if indeed they don't)
As expected about 4 bayliss and harding gift sets from my mum 
My MIL is the same.
She has bought my average sized 11 year old an adult size 12 - and yes, MIL did know they were adults because she said 'I bought her adult size' ...wtf was she thinking?!
This year among immediate family we all agreed we'd just go for a meal out over the Xmas period, my sister and her bf have just bought a house so was a simple we won't this year, my dad I got a couple of small things from the kids and in return got me something I saw a few months ago and said I liked which was so sweet of him (he said he'd get me something as my ex probably won't bother) brothers - 1 of them got the kids a present each which was lovely!
But, here I'm a bit miffed with my ex (whom due to young kids we are amicable), I bought alongside the kids choosing 4 decent presents from the kids, they helped wrap and write on labels etc.. Xmas morning he opens them.. I open mine and it's simply a lynx for her shower gel and deodorant
I know he's my ex (of 2 years) but jeez that kinda hurt, clearly didn't ask the kids
