My 11year old (girl) fast asleep my 13yo playing on his ps4. I'm waiting to go to bed and to do this he needs to be asleep as I need to get all the kids or presents from my neighbours. It's a nightmare, anyone else in the same boat ?
Oh and Merry Christmas (go easy I'm a newbie) |

Enjoy it. It's easy to forget how precious this time is (I've worked the last 7 Christmases and don't get the chance to see my son throughout Xmas due to work and distance. He goes to his dad's from the day after he breaks up from school to the day before he goes back... please please treasure it, no matter how frustrating it can be)
Have a wonderful day. Xx |

Thank you yes I agree they do grow up too quick. I appreciate every second and do realise they are precious, I haven't worked today (first year in many) we've had a lovely day. I'm just ready for bed now but the master is saying otherwise  I hope you enjoy your day also lovely and thank you for your reply. Merry Xmas xx |

Good luck both of you I find the more you try to keep the noise down the louder it is especially when you drop a whole sack down the stairs  |

how can he fall asleep when he has all those moving images to stimulate his mind?
my son who is 12 and usually has a laptop, playing games until 10, was sent to bed earlier at 9 with a book and is now fast asleep...
mind you I wrapped all his presents during the week so all I have to do is finish my wine and head up to bed |

Aww that's a lovely age, unfortunately my two are older and my son wouldn't be seen dead with me in public  let alone McDonald's . They do grow up quick. Hope you have a lovely day x |

I know it's early but they will be up and excited to open presents. They stand in the door way staring at me and I'm a light sleeper so I may as well just get up and roll with it |

yes its tough trying to find the balance of what is 'just enough'..
i used to bow down to the pressure of facebook where it was the vast display of goods on show,, but that could be 50 really big boxes full of crap cheap stuff that she'd never use or enjoy.. plus its finding a home for it afterwards. So now ive kerbed it right back to practical things that she will use and it will last.
sadly i cant control my family and what they choose to buy for her. |

I'm the same I feel awful that my son only has 3 presents but his bike was over £500 and his coat was not much less his other is a ps4 game. My daughter has much more presents but cost less. Plus they go their dad's and will get loads there too. They are lucky I work and can afford and do understand how lucky they are in relation to some children get a lot less and they are grateful. |

Well the plan for santa to deliver to their bedroom has been scuppered.
Eldest has woken at midnight and still ain't asleep.
So on here waiting to deliver a pogo stick and other gifts like a ninja. |

"£80?
Does it come with a keg of beer?
Exactly my thoughts !! Nearly died when I ordered it"
Only 1 computer game was worth £80 and that was Street fighter 2 special edition. And I had to pay my own money for that.
