we never worry whose paid for what although we have seperate bank accounts its usually a case of whose got the money at the time keeping a score on who paid for what is sharing a house not a marriage

well, in as much as that is a true statement, I did inform her a very long time ago not to buy me anything for xmas. It's not my fault she did not listen. BTW, even the boys (7&9) got nothing from me, except my presence.
They will get plenty from the January sales, assuming one can trust it's actually a sale?

Moral of the story I suppose is don't bring stories of your personal life onto a public forum and expect a response that isn't anything to do with what you've written.

hope everyone enjoys the rest of the break, I'm enjoying spending some time with my daughter. It's not often I get too for the whole day, she's hard work at times but wish I'd made more time for it throughout the rest of the year, they grow up so fast.

Moral of the story is that you do as you please in your household. As said earlier, I simply mentioned what missus said to me, and was not asking for sympathy. I need none. Someone claimed we are both miserable and seem not to like each other, so they see no reason why we should not just go our seperate ways? really? Just because a woman tells you you do not love her is no reason for you to conclude that she means it. Women are what they are. They say whatever they want to say when they feel like it. I brought my personal life, ffttt. What do you know about my personal life? She is my wife, and I've been married to her for 20 yrs. I know her well by now. If someone says ''my wife is horrible with directions'', so that translates into him hating his wife? There are a lot of women out there who cannot cook, clean etc. That is not to say they do not have a happy married life.
You want to buy presents for your loved ones over christmas, then good luck. I buy anytime of the year when I feel there is a need and not just because the shops want us to spend extra at christmas.
Have a HAPPY NEW YEAR. BTW, as for me and my household, believe you me, we are having a good time. Yesterday visited family, today visiting friends
 
It's always a good idea to share daft ideas with " friends " before putting them in action

( Some get their daft ideas from East Enders plot lines )

Sadly arguments , family Bickering , Showing up others by out Trumping their presents , alcohol fueled pettyness
seems to be a common theme for some at Xmax . ( My outlaws stayed away , and no one died this xmas - so I had a good xmas )
Enjoy if you can , ( or vent some steam -with it was only the Beer excuse )

Some of our purchases are waiting for sales !
 
Thought I'd revive this one just for you V.I! Did your boys get more than your presence this year?

I'm afraid he is not.
Bad news though is that they got naught. But truth of the matter is by the evening of Xmas day, I felt extremely embarrassed. Honestly.
I was first one up and went downstairs hitting the bottle & trolling UKPF. At around 8am, the youngest got up and started screaming: 'it's christmas, it's Christmas'. He woke his brother, then their mum and all came downstairs. Presents were pulled out from under the tree (by youngest son) and placed infront of everyone. Two presents were placed infront of me. I was then told to open one of my presents which I did.
Any way, to cut a long story short the two presents were from the boys. For the rest of the day, missus kept asking me: 'where is my presents? Only thing I got was from kids, where is one from you?' It got so bad I had to ask her to shut up (in absence of kids of course). Did she get me anything? NO. Besides, kids had asked me for money a week before Xmas so they can buy presents. So in a way, may be I bought the presents indirectly?
One thing is for sure though. Next year (if the good Lord spares my life), I'm going all out to satisfy everyone.
My MIL, who had been hinting all along to me that she wanted a slow cooking rice cooker got naught as well. Not even a visit? She hasn't spoken to me since? I will surprise them next year. You just wait & see.
 
Sounds like you`ve been touched by the spirit of Christmas and I for one am glad, what may I ask what was the one thing for such a drastic change of heart?

Good for you dude, even if you don't particularly agree with it. You have to play along for the families sake. A lesson I've well learnt, life is so much easier when you comply.

Seeing the misery my wife seemed to be going through because she got no present from me. It made me hit the bottle even more. To make matters worse, she indicated that I got her nothing on our anniversary? Women. There's no pleasing them. I'll like to see the look on her face next year. In all earnest, I think I realy need to change. My SIL bought me a Work Radio last year, then gave missus a present to give me this year (haven't opened it yet?). I got her nothing all these years, but then again, I service her boilers for free

Me thinks you could still make amens by doing or giving them something special as a new year present(s). After all why wait another 12 months!!!
 
While they were all relaxing at home on Boxing Day, I headed for Croydon town Center and bought stuff for every one of them. Interestingly, Croydon council provided FREE parking? And, they all were able to put to use the stuff I bought them straight away. The kids will also be given money to shop come first week of January.
C'mon, they get loads of stuff throughout the year so why does missus make such a big deal over Xmas?

Ffs! Does it matter? It makes them happy or p!ssed off, by your actions. Your choice.

Because shes a woman. The same reason they don't agree that valentines day is a big commercial con job so that florists can have a bumper pay day!
 
You sound a right miserable tosspot, wait till your missus leaves you for not appreciating her, then am sure you will be happy
