Anyone else not do Christmas presents with their partner?

Before we had kids we would buy rhem but now I just can't be bothered and neither can he. I'd rather he saved his money instead of buying unnecessary gifts just for the sake of it. Whenever I tell people that we don't get each other anything they always look at us like we're crazy.

Me and my husband are the same. We’d rather spend the money on the kids we buy whatever we want throughout the year as and when so we don’t see the point either.

I wouldn't do this, but we'd spend the money on tickets to a show or a fancy dinner together.

We dont do presents for each other but our birthdays are September and November so we feel like we've only just celebrated :)

We are the exact same. We focus on our son and family, and don’t bother with each other. We do birthdays, but we don’t stretch ourselves financially just for the sake of it.

We get each other random gifts throughout the year, and that works for us!

We did a tiny gift each. We both treat each other to things through the year when we need something

We only do presents for the kids.. I don’t do presents for any adult 😊

Were the very same. We do birthday gifts but not Christmas gifts

I've had the best Christmas this year, the kids got some really lovely gifts from us and the family. We didn't really get many physical gifts at all. I think we got 2 maybe 3 each from other people and one each from the kids. I'm actually a bit relieved because I really didn't need or want anything anyway. I'd rather focus on the kids.

We go very mi small, chocolates we like, i got him some thrifty shirts and ties and our favourite shower gel in bulk which we would have probabaly bought anyways but I wrapped it up haha. So kinda? Nothing mad. He'll get me some candles for the house.

We wasn’t feeling it this year after loosing my dad so we just did one present each and honestly I’m good with that we focused on our girls this year.

We do gifts as it is a good way of making sure that we look after each as husband and wife, not just mum and dad

We still do gifts. From each other and from the kids.

We went halves on a new fridge and filled each other's stockings.

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

Work + baby?

Hi everyone I’m a struggling mom needing to go back to work but trying to avoid sending my baby to daycare I’m desperately trying to find work I can do with my baby as I won’t have any one I trust to babysit. If anyone knows anything please reach out. I just want my baby to be safe but living in this economy with one income is just impossible. Please fellow moms im begging for anything!

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
