Christmas Arguements

[TomLane]

Not defending V.I because like some have said his supposed actions aren't appropriate considering the blessed situation he is in.

But let's consider this guys, we all have different circumstances for one reason or another! Who are we to judge one mans actions over ours!

It's Christmas guys, let's not let something as trivial as this wind us up & spoil your day!

Just saying.

APPlumbing, you are getting me worried. How is it you're quoting her verbatim? Surely, I need some support here, why are you on her side?

What do you think your kids are going to remember from there childhood? My dad didn't buy us presents, all there friends will get presents.
And doesn't your good lady deserve anything? She obviously thinks you do!
Xmas is a right rip off yes, but it's not your kids fault.

Even my dogs got a treat today? Ok it's sort of a treat didn't burn them with cigar after luncheon. Not getting your kids or mrs owt is shocking! My mrs is a funt to buy for she has everything she wants but still expects a surprise! Wouldn't dare surprise with nothing!

I reckon this is a wind or or atleast some manly bravado (or I hope it is)

my dad is a real mans man and we all went the pub today before dinner and he told all his mates he didn't get my mom anything. When in reality she had nearly 700 quid spent on her split 3 ways between me, my dad and my brother.

Admittidly I went into town and bought everything, but the bill was split 3 ways and they both knew what we had bought her.

In reality even though my dad is definitely the man of this house, he hasn't got the balls to not get my mom anything for Christmas

for some reason, I think some blokes think its cool or whatever to act like they don't treat their wives or girlfriends on birthdays and Christmas etc.

before I was single I bought my ex whatever she wanted (and I mean whatever) and that ended badly and left a real sour taste in my mouth, but you know what, I'd do it all again tomorrow

as for not buying children, that's horrible. And if that's true then shame on you sir :-(

Missus handed me my presents this morning, then asked, ''Where is the present you got for me?'' eerrmmmm, I've got nothing for you.

She says I do this every year and she fails to understand why? It doesn't matter how small the present is, it's the thought that counts. She claims. Well, I've not even open the presents she bought me

Is that how you were treated when you were young ?? How sad............you are causing so much pain......shame

Whatever happens between VI and his missus the kids shouldn't bear the brunt of it. Xmas is about spoiling the kids first and foremost IMO. I never had Christmas as a child as my parents are Muslim but I make sure my daughter has a good Christmas so she's not left out when her mates talk about theirs...

Nice one Mas xx

grand daughter of 11 weeks got more gifts than anyone else. daughter in law went to see her parents she hasnt talked too for several weeks for whatever reason, to much to go into on here, but xmas is xmas season of goodwill and all that. Sorry for vi and his problems, but it shouldnt affect the youngsters as it scares for life, what you do to them as youngsters! and his MRs did buy him a present or two so why not look to a better future at this time of year, pop out on boxing day?

Pause for thought.

How ironic that I should just see this on Twitter.
