Bought my baby daddy an expensive perfume for Xmas I’m I doing too much? 🤣 we’re not together but he’s buys presents on my birthday and flowers. And on Mother’s Day he buys me flowers. I’ve never got him anything. He’s a great dad…

Gifts

How do I tell family to stop buying my children books without sounding ungrateful 😅 Due to the amount of books that have been brought I have far too many, every time my mother in law comes over she brings a book and every time I see my nan she gives books too.
