I understand you saying it was a gift to you and your dh but it was a gift so you can specifically buy something for the kids because you didn't have the money.

How could they get plenty when you only had $100 that was split 3 ways and then another 4 ways? $


1. b/c it's not about how much money was spent.


2. b/c my kids aren't spoiled, they were very happy with what they recieved.

Ok... read it in context. "We didn't have the money to buy gifts, and we weren't planning on buying gifts. My mom gave my dh and I $100 though, so we were able to buy stocking stuffers." I'm paraphrasing, but can you not see the alternate meaning of the "so we were able to buy stocking stuffers" part?

Do you even know how old her children were when this happened?


One year, I gave my not quite year old dd a $15 used faux sherling coat I bought on eBay. She didn't NEED anything other than a winter

WHY do kids have to be spoiled to have more than a couple of gifts and be happy with what they have? I think you have a misconception that if you get your kids too much, they will be spoiled. You seem to be raising them very well and giving them good morals so I doubt they will get that way.

Just b/c it's written in black and white doesn't mean it has only one meaning.
