Christmas presents

When I look at what other people are buying / have bought for their children, I feel like we're being really stingy and mean, but when I look at what we actually have bought for our children, I feel like they're getting a ton of stuff.

This would all be so much easier with actual rules.

I know you've said before that she thinks we have more stuff than she does. But of course we've had 40 child-years in which to acquire it all, and you've had about 9. It makes a difference :)

I am aware that I am carrying a lot of baggage from my own childhood here. It's difficult to see what is my baggage and what is me actually being stingy.
