Exactly. I hate the judging. You could argue she set herself up for it by posting about it but I'm sure it was just an innocent social media post like any other. Just let her be and not make this out to be something it isn't.

This.
It doesn't mean her kids are spoilt either. Even if she is spoiling them this ONE DAY, don't most parents? People judging her parenting skills because she's bought loads of christmas presents ![]()

That's £500 each, if a kid got an x box a couple of games and an outfit it would be that though, it just looks a lot :/
I just hope she isn't robbed after posting that on FB!

![]() It's looks like a load of little bits, stupid really as the kids will ignore most of it once opened but her money and as long as Wonga isn't involved I can't see the issue really apart from her bragging and now being a target to get robbed

I saw this yesterday and my first thought was "Silly cow" but then I saw her being interviewed and she said she shops all year round for bargains,uses vouchers and sales,and as Kizzy said £500 on each child can easily be spent on consoles TVs etc,they look like lots of small things and clothes,so it's probably easy to do,but I admit 80 presents each sounds excessive .

I actually fell into this trap, felt so guilty that their mates got stuff through the year I would overcompensate at Christmas :/

she has totally lost the idea of what is going on and just gone overboard
i am sure she can justify it but its too much maybe she could use her time more productively for her family |

It works out at an average of £5 per present, so the kids aren't spoiled because it's probably a load of ****e

clearly those presents aren't actually leaning up against the tree, other wise the tree would have toppled over, she just wrapped everything individually, and set it up in a way to make it look like a huge pile.

maybe she shouldn't be bragging about it and probably move the presents somewhere else because you can't see the tree, but there's nothing wrong with getting too many presents. She works hard and saves up for it. The gifts are probably not that expensive too
