It’s a long-held, unspoken tradition, at least in my part of the world, that in a partnership between a man and a woman, the woman does the Christmas shopping. It’s one of those things that has just stuck around, no matter how much progress we’ve made with gender equality. I’m sure some families are ahead …

Ex-husband scolds the mother of his 3 children for not getting a Christmas present for the 4-year-old daughter that resulted from his affair: ‘He took out this dollar store doll and he told me that was all he could afford for his daughter’
A sad reality of the holiday season is that not every child will be visited by Santa equally. Some kids receive Dudley Dursley-esque quantities of presents, all of which have a fat price tag attached. Other kids will be lucky if they get socks and a cheap toy from the dollar store on the 25th. …

Sometimes, you never know your sibling is the golden child until your parents spell it right out before you. That’s not very jolly, but that’s the way things roll on this website. One of the worst things a parent can do is lie to their children and go under their noses to ensure that their …

Man receives €200 gift card from work, wife flips out when he refuses to share it with her: ‘When she used her discounts to get stuff, it was all for her, not for us’
One of the most common sources of arguments among married couples is how they should share their resources. If marriage is a partnership, then it makes sense that you should communicate clearly about what you exchange with each other. However, it is common for this not to be as clear-cut as it should be, leading …

‘The guy is a manbaby’: Man gets coworker the wrong candy for Secret Santa despite coworker saying he liked ‘anything sweet,’ faces the disdain of the entire office
The point of Secret Santa is that it’s low-key. It’s not a formal gift exchange, but rather a fun way to exchange (usually small) gifts and add a little bit of mystery to it. I used to do one with my high school friend group, and we’d usually give each other gag gifts, just so …

29-year-old daughter refuses to attend Christmas after family raise price of white elephant gift exchange to $250: ‘I started feeling like I was being pushed out of the tradition because of my financial situation’
Christmas is for many one of the important holidays on the calendar, but there is no denying that it can get pretty darn expensive.

Husband insists that his wife sell the $3K worth of designer clothing her friend gifted her so they can buy a new couch: ‘He’s upset and saying I’m putting this fabric before our families comfort’
There’s something so special about getting a gift from a friend. It doesn’t matter whether it was cheap or expensive; the fact that someone else cared enough about you to find something that suits your fancy is an incredibly kind and underrated gesture of friendship. While gift-giving might be seen as the most superficial of …

Single mom of a 4-year-old tells family she cannot afford Christmas presents for 37-40 family members, offends family by saying she can only afford to gift Ramen Noodles: ‘No matter how much I say I can’t, it doesn’t seem to register’
Nobody should be pressured into giving their whole extended family Christmas gifts. I can’t imagine how stressful it would be to buy a thoughtful gift for every uncle, cousin, second cousin, and cousin’s wife who happens to show up at grandma’s house on Christmas Eve. The best gift-giving isn’t the kind you’re forced into, but …

For most people who choose to settle down, their spouse will be the only family member that they ever get to choose.
