anyone else?

Been told I'm not getting any pressies for  Christmas because I've got a baby and everyone is getting him presents instead of me. He'll only be 10 weeks so he won't understand, I mean yeah get him a pressie or two but can't I get one too? Am I just being selfish?

Why are you worried about getting any presents? I always just worry about giving. Its the holidays . Dont be concerned in how much you receive.

Our family never gave presents to anyone over 18. And within the relationship, we have more to worry about (house, baby, bills) than to spend anything on gifts for one another.  Always felt like presents were for kids rather than adults.  Let baby have his presents and be happy for him.

I've not had a personal Christmas gift since I moved out at 18, was always home stuff now will be baby stuff, although I prefer it that way I never want for anything anyway, I just buy what I want when I want it from my own money.

My way of thinking is once you have kids they get the presents. I haven't had a present in almost 4 years. That is ok because I know my babies are taken care of. Order of priority in my hous/family is the kids first and foremost then my husband then the animals then me.

People can be strapped for cash when holidays come around. You had a child. People usually make sure the kids have something before the adults. So it is what it is. He will get stuff before you get stuff.

Omg marijana19 the only present i received was a "maternity" shirt, it was actually a regular 2x shirt which made me feel huge!!!! I use M/L in maternity. That shirt only got to used once because it was not stretchy like martenity shirts so it didn't cover my bump anymore as it grew. And also a baby blanket like really -_-

I still believe that its better to give than to receive, but thats my humble opinion

It's like your birthday or holidays...when u turn 16 ...you got car stuff...then 18.. you got house things.... now you have a new baby so baby things. I do think you deserve some gifts for yourself though!

Not selfish. It's the holidays! You deserve at least one or two things for yourself!
