But then does that mean (and I am asking as a genuine question, not having a go at you) that you think it’s ok that the kid who doesn’t get much, is sad because his parents (rather than FC) got him, for example a book when his friend got an Xbox? It’s unfair that some kids get more than others, as I truly think it doesn’t matter who they are from because either way the person with the ‘lesser’ present would feel hard done by?My kids don’t think that I bought the majority of their presents because I want the credit, just that I’m uncomfortable with them thinking that FC brought them xxx but their friend might have only got xxx - or vice versa. Their stockings come from FC and that’s it.
It is really tricky as all families have their own traditions and ways of doing FC, i think you just have to do what feels right for you and your family. As i said upthread, my parents used to "send the money to FC" so we got the magic of having our presents magically delivered but were also aware they were paid for. We've all done the same with our own kids. One year my dad was out of work leading up to Christmas and mum and dad sat us down and explained they werent able to send as much to FC that year and we were to think extremely hard and ask for 2 things we *really* wanted and "surprises", i remember that year quite clearly- but I actually remember the things that I got that I hadnt asked for and "the elves" had supposedly chosen and couldnt tell you what i actually requested! Our parents used to buy us an outfit each and usually a book that was "from them".But then does that mean (and I am asking as a genuine question, not having a go at you) that you think it’s ok that the kid who doesn’t get much, is sad because his parents (rather than FC) got him, for example a book when his friend got an Xbox? It’s unfair that some kids get more than others, as I truly think it doesn’t matter who they are from because either way the person with the ‘lesser’ present would feel hard done by?
However, I would like to add that when I was growing up all our presents were from FC as were most of my friends, we would tell each other what we got when we went back to school and that was it, I never wondered why FC brought them ‘better’ presents than me.
I really feel like the magic of Christmas morning is wondering if he’s been and if you are going to get presents etc (no matter what those are). if you already know you are getting some presents (and it’s the big ones, rather than the stocking fillers) from your parents regardless it takes away from that magic for me. Obviously this is just my opinion on the matter and it’s probably formed on how I was raised. I am not judging anyone’s choice, it’s a personal matter and what you feel comfortable with.
I literally can’t watch 🫣 I would turn myself inside out with the cringeChrist alive.
Beggies is such a massive cringe fest!!!
poor child being treated like a puppet and their staged acting is tit
Pretty sure the most recent one isn't!Charity campaign for dogs trust?? Are their dogs rescues?
Not a real job! Shudder. She’s not some commoner don’t you know! It is at the point now where she’s exploiting only Daphne. She’s not a baby anymore. She defo needs to treat her the same as her brothers.So Daphne is starting nursery so the ‘we don’t cover her face because she’s always with one of us’ ain’t gonna fly anymore. It’s her only content though except for her pound shop observational comedy routines. She’s gonna have to either have another child, be a hypocrite and continue to show Daphne, or actually get a job.
