DH and I don't really do gifts, we buy simple gifts for the children.
Reading constant threads on here prompted me to spend little more on each child than we normally would do . I also bought DH a present, nothing huge - some artists materials .
As usual DH bought me nothing which I never object to, more than that I am usually happy with that arrangement .
He did buy the family a piano - not officially a Christmas gift but it came yesterday. I don 't play the piano so again it is something for everyone else - mainly him tbh.
I feel sad that I didn't get anything , not a huge sense of sadness but it is there. I am so annoyed with myself for being bothered about gifts. I know this is because I have allowed myself to be influenced by threads on here . I felt sad just now reading about other people's gifts.
I could slap myself for being so childish.
Feel free to tell me to get a grip, I needed to "tell" someone and am too embarrassed to tell my family .

Mumsnet had infiltrated my soul and now I am sad and a little disappointed in myself.
