Same! And with the cost of living being so high, it makes you wonder how many of them are sticking all these expensive purchases on their credit cards and amassing huge debts.And even on kids birthdays and Christmas, they post photos of mountains of presents piled up! It’s absolutely ridiculous!
When we were younger me and my brothers would get one main present for Christmas and then a couple presents in a stocking didn’t do us any harm!
Ugh yes! When the parents post the pictures on social media of the big mountain of gifts…I find it so distastefulAnd even on kids birthdays and Christmas, they post photos of mountains of presents piled up! It’s absolutely ridiculous!

Yep! And the amount people spend is crazy, I remember when I was in high school some of my friends would be getting Mac books, new iPhones, designer clothes, jewellery etc! It’s crazy and they don’t appreciate anything now!Same!

There's always been a concept of "keeping up with the Joneses" but it's amplified even more on social media.
Be born to Catholic parents!What did they do to deserve the Bible scripture?
That rhymes. Should be your motto.Be born to Catholic parents!
My children get four presents at Christmas. Something they what, something they need, something to wear and something to read.
That is it.
That’s nice but did you post about it on social media afterwards? Doesn’t count if you didn’tFor us Easter was always big in our house but, it was because my mum always did an Easter egg hunt and made her own rhymes up. It was always magical and one of our favourite holidays. Now we do it with the grandchildren. They all love it and don’t actually care about the chocolate, I end up eating most of itFor Christmas one year we made a snowman tower for each of them made out of cardboard boxes with a little present inside each. They absolutely loved it and played with it more than their big presents.
I was born to Catholic parents and we never got that! :OBe born to Catholic parents!

I posted my smyths receipt on my story so everyone knew how much I’d spentThat’s nice but did you post about it on social media afterwards? Doesn’t count if you didn’t
The snowman idea sounds cute.
We didn't eat meat on Good Friday either - we always got fish and chips!Easter was always a big deal in our house as mum was quite a staunch Catholic but it was definitely more of a religious weekend. Good Friday I always remember getting tinned salmon and chips for tea because we couldn't eat meat.
Easter Sunday was mass, an egg and family all together for big roast lunch.
I agree. The Glasgow Necropolis is a work of art.UO I love cemeteries and don’t find them creepy at all. I think they’re beautiful and peaceful
My Mum used to refuse to cook or eat meat on Good Friday but my Dad always used to get himself a sneaky takeaway, like a burger or sausage or something on his lunch break to rebel against herEaster was always a big deal in our house as mum was quite a staunch Catholic but it was definitely more of a religious weekend.

I hate that turn of phrase “full-time mummy.” Even worse when people add “yummy” into it.UO: Being a ‘full time mummy’ isn’t a job, just say you don’t work, which there is nothing wrong with. People who work 40 hour weeks are still full time parents, and don’t have it any easier because they spent their days at workhaving a full time job and still having all parenting and household responsibilities is hard.
I’m also speaking about the type who have it listed as their job on Facebook
I love cemeteries too. I can spend hours there and the older the better. I love reading the headstones.UO I love cemeteries and don’t find them creepy at all. I think they’re beautiful and peaceful
