Hi everyone! Just on here for s moan really as my eldest son has just phoned me and made me cry because I ruined their Christmas by buying too much for my grandson and granddaughter. I only bought 8 presents each but my son and daughter in law are very controlling with their children and want to approve every present in advance, this year I bought a few extra presents spontaneously and you would think I bought them drugs or something, not Lego and playdough! Feeling really crap now.

Happygran - Profuse appologies! I hadn't known you were the only one really contributing presents. I could only judge by the other GPs I know and the comments of my own DC.

Thank you Jalima. Its good to know that St Nicholas doesn't actually need a chimney as he seems to be able to just materialise. It's been a concern for one of my DGC!

Try not to let it upset you. Until they have grandchildren of their own they can't understand. Rather you are an over- generous grandma than like my late in-laws: stingy to the end.
