my baby is due january 21st does anyone else think its stupid buying her christmas presents

Re: is it stupid
 

yep, :) look she's going to cost you a fortune for the next 50 Christmasses - save your money or spend it on yourself while you can, you won't get chance after Jan 21st.

Re: is it stupid
 

Yes, I think your daft too, treat yourself while you can

Re: is it stupid
 

That would depend on the gift. A bike would be a waste of money at this stage but there's no harm in buying her a couple of dresses, cuddly toys or maybe a baby gym. My two liked lying under a baby gym for short periods from a young age. They like looking at the bright objects and lights.:)

Don't go overboard though. No point in spending too much, wait until she's older and more aware of what's going on.:)

It's ok buying them but you could have a hell of a job opening them when you give them to her :)

A visit from Father Christmas may be a suprise for both of you :rofl38:

Don't be silly children cost enough once they are here. Go out and treat yourself.

I think she means she wants the pram to put her daughter in, the daughter which she is due to give birth to in January - not that she has a pregnant daughter due to give birth in January and she is looking for a pram for her.

Re: is it stupid
 

I think she means she is having a daughter :D

Thanks Willow makes sense now. I knew I passed my GCE English for a reason :D

Re: is it stupid
 

That's a briefer way of putting it, Neil. :D

Re: is it stupid
 

Isn't the whole point of Christmas presents for children so that they can wake you up at 4 a.m., making a lot of noise, then be so tired by tea time they (and you) have a massive tantrum? Well if she decides to do that this year it'll be all your own fault. :D

Re: is it stupid
 

hey kathleen, forget pressies this christmas, have a ball, cos you will be buggared for many xmases after, i got the T-shirt.;):)

Re: is it stupid
 

Why wait till Christmas? Buy her some fireworks for next month! :rolleyes:

Re: is it stupid
 

Didn't know YOU had a baby girl:rolleyes:

Re: is it stupid
 

when moby dick was a tadpole i did,shes just gone 32.:D

Re: is it stupid
 

Well bang goes my theory I always said if a bloke had a baby there wouldn't be any more born:)

Re: is it stupid
 

If expecting the sprog a month early then go for it otherwise spend it as fast as you can enjoying the last free money you will have. :D

Re: is it stupid
 

crap ive let it slip, i used to be called cassandra.:rofl38:

Re: is it stupid
 

Hmm well I could blow all your theories of not buying christmas pressies for her baby due in jan...

My eldest was due in feb and was born christmas morning :eek:

Hey Kathleen, you could always buy something for the baby that you feel you couldn't justify spending normally and tell yourself it's her first pressie :D

Nah stuff that, treat yourself instead :p

Re: is it stupid
 

thnks peepz just got a few little gifts

Re: is it stupid
 

My youngest was born on 13th December, I bought him a few gifts, and other people did, but it was mainly clothes and stuff like that :)

Re: is it stupid
 

Yes......you are mad......this baby is going to cost heaps before you know it.
Spend the money on something for yourself.....heck you won't be able to once the baby arrives...or for the next couple of decades.

Re: is it stupid
 

Very simple answer. Yes it is silly.

Re: is it stupid
 

Personally, I'm as tight as a gnat's chuff and wouldn't bother this year, or next year either.....:D She will have no idea that you haven't got her any pressies. Family and friends will buy her stuff and she will probably prefer to play with the wrapping paper. Spend your money on yourself while you still can...:)

Re: is it stupid
 

Let me get this right .. you wish to buy Christmas presents for a child that is not due to enter our world until well into January .. :confused::rolleyes:

Gosh, Kathleen, please don't even think about it !! Novel idea, but before we know it, we will all be expecting to send cards to the 'expected new arrival' if our commercial world ever gets hold of this idea ! Gosh, will be fun thinking of some titles there ... e.g. 'Happy Christmas to the 8 month female foetus' LOL.

Best present you can give her is to take care of yourself and say a prayer to your God, that she will be healthy, beautiful and born with a generous heart, etc.

Enjoy your Christmas. xx
