I don't mean to start a huge argument, but am I the only one these make feel uncomfortable?
Some of them list lots of very expensive presents, and the list must run into the thousands. If you can afford to do this, wonderful! But a lot can't, and I sort of feel they're more brag threads, I don't see the point? Why list all your presents and make a thread to name every present you're buying?
I feel there must be ladies on here who see them and their heart sinks thinking they can't do the same for their children, and feel theirs must be missing out in some way.
These threads make me feel for these women, because I honestly can't see a point to these threads other than saying 'look at everything I'm buying!'.
As I said, I'm not trying to start an argument, I'm just thinking maybe we could be a little more considerate and think maybe how these threads may make some ladies feel?
I love lists, I write lists constantly, but I don't post them on here because I would hate for someone to feel bad and feel they have to match my list when for some families Christmas is a real struggle. Times are hard right now for a lot of people. Some women on here will already be having sleepless nights I bet wondering how they will make it happen.
