[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They are kids. Appreciate them and your DH and be glad you got something. Quit whining.[/quote]

This is OP.  I do appreciate them and like I said - I wasn't mad at them and did all the oohs and aahs.

I think people are missing the point.  I'm not unappreciative - I am just pissed DH didn't steer them to something I'd like more - [b]LIKE I DID WITH HIS GIFT FROM THE GIRLS.

[/b]Part of the joy of giving is to find something the recipient would like - that's a teachable moment too![/quote]

I think you are missing the point, OP. So you killed their joy and sense of pride by choosing your DH's gift yourself. He made a different choice. What did you expect by posting this? Validation? You are barking up the wrong tree, sister.[/quote]

Ugh, I'm so over this.  This is the last time I'm responding.  I didn't ask for validation and I DID start my thread by recognizing this is a bit petty.  I was looking for ways that would NOT (got that??? that would NOT) hurt my kids' feelings.  I got a few great suggestions and obviously there are others that understand.

Just to repeat - my kids think I absolutely LOVE their gift.  I've been wearing it out every single damn time we've gone out since xmas.  I was looking for ways to not have to wear it for the rest of my life as it's not my taste.

So, everyone, thanks for those that understood and gave me some good ideas.  everyone else - whatever! I'm not going to read this anymore.[/quote]

[b]You think they're not getting this level of distaste from you?? Dream on. You're so screwed up that you think a 3 and 5 year old, who want to pick out their own gift to you all by themselves, have to, on their first try, pick out something that you adore. I would be so proud that my kids wanted to pick it out themselves and all you can do is bitch that they didn't nail it on the head. God, you seriously are a bitch.[/b] [/quote]

Stop it with the name-calling and the shaming. OP is a FINE person despite not liking the crap her kids got her. And her DH could have steered them towards something else, and given them the money to pay and they'd have been thrilled to feel like they paid, and then he could have let them wrap her gift and they'd have been thrilled to wrap it themselves. No need to make her feel terribly. She's not a terrible person for not liking an ugly POS her kids got her.[/quote]

Yes, she kind of is. And no, I won't stop shaming this OP. She needs to be shamed. [/quote]

Not pp you responded to but nah, she isn't.  If you really feel upset and shamed the people that truly needed shaming in the world, you could do wonders. Otherwise, stfu with your holier than thou attitude. [/quote]

I'm not holier than thou, I just don't put a gift over my kids. Really, she didn't set the bar that high. She deserves shaming. She really, really does. Who the hell puts their kids excitement over a gift they picked out themselves to the back burner over their own enjoyment of the gift? Yeah, people like OP, who need shaming. These are young kids for crying out loud. I feel more sorry for the husband…. At least she's trying to hide her greediness from her kids.[/quote]
