[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]
