My gifts have to be a secret

So FDH and I talked about doing our own private gift exchange- I want to because I want that special time with him and I want to enjoy eachothers company instead of opening during the craziness of everyone else.
FDH wants to open alone bc he doesn't want his kids to see what I get...................

I'm annoyed, your kids are so fricken ungrateful that they can't know anything I get bc they will compare their gift and figure out he spent more on me

Wow :jawdrop:

Fuck that! I would NEVER do something so stupid JUST so the skids don't get jealous or want what I got etc.

WTF is wrong with these fucking balless idiots??!!

^^^THIS! If my DH said "I don't want SD14 to see what I got you because she'd be jealous", I'd FLAUNT it in front of her and let him know that no such antics will be tolerated.

What is it with these parents nowadays saying "oh, poor little princess can't be disappointed or jealous"???????? Wow. Let's just hold their hands and help them do EVERYTHING until they turn into worthless adults and then bitch that we never have a life because they're draining us!

Sheesh. I feel for you. But yeah, I'd be sure she not only knew what I got but that I was sure to have it out and in plain sight whenever she was around!

I told him straight up I will not hide anything AND I also said if his kids were so rude to even say anything in comparison of the gifts they need to be smacked!!!

He was quiet and was like go ahead.......

I surely will and I don't need HIM to tell me not to flaunt my shit, it's MINE!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!! it's always something....FML

If I was your hubby I would solve this problem easily. I buy a token gift on Christmas and remember you nicely throughout the year. I've found that roses 10 times a year is better than a new vacuum.

If my boyfriend bought me a vacuum for christmas he would be picking his testicles up from the neighbors backyard

Its kind of cutting off Ur nose to spite Ur face but id tell him i don't want any gift that comes with strings such as having to hide it. Ifur worth buying an expensive gift you should be worth dealing with the kids reaction! It should be DH that deals with this, you shouldn't have to flaunt it for them to see, that's just disrespectful to both yourself and Ur skids. DH needs to man up!

My H and I have always done private gift exchanges. Too crazy with the kids. But if that's not our preference it's wrong to bow down to what the kids want.

I have a huge CZ ring that I wear - had it before my marriage. It's too dangerous to walk around with a real one plus I don't own a real one.

BM (who dh married when she was a pregnant teen) never had much at all. She seethes.

My husband's son seems to think he's hit pay dirt. Ha is he wrong.
