[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I get your disappointment, OP. It's not about what you actually got but that it shows a lack of thought, a lack of consideration, of not being heard.

You may have seen my post about my experience. One Christmas season, my DH asked me if liked the book lights that were clipped to the lamp by my bed. I said "no". I explained my mother had given them to the kids who didn't use them, I didn't use them, didn't like to use one but didn't feel I could get rid of them so stuck them there.

Guess what he got me for Christmas? A freakin book light. It would have been better to have gotten nothing. [/quote]

Okay, I hope I don't get flamed for this, but is is possible, the conversation went like this, according to your DH

DH: do you like those book lights?

DW:  No.  My mom bought them for the kids and didn't use them.  So I took them and tried them, but I don't like them either.  They are too bright and actually a little heavy which makes it harder to read the book, especially as I get sleepy.

DH thinks to himself "hmmm, what if I get her a book light with adjustable brightness, so its not too bright, and make sure its light enough so it doesnt make holding the book too heavy."

Basically, assume good intent, ya know[/quote]
