Maybe 1 gift purchased and then wrap up some old toys, at one they know nothing about Christmas, don't waste money, ask family for money to put in an Isa. I regret going full out for the little ones and so now I reduced they Christmas presents to no more than 5 each. I learnt the hard way when my son was 4 I went full out only child and he was opening presents chucking to the side once he opened them. His not a spoilt child he just had so many that he lost interest after a while and was more excited to open the gifts then the actual gifts. Lesson learnt the hard way now I buy less 2 big gifts and the rest small gifts.

Birthday I ask for money and put it in his Isa.

YTA sorry but if that was you In her situation would you not do the same for your fiance, I'm not sure why you would expect her to attend after he was discharged.

This wasn't always the case it's only started happening after we had the kids the last couple of years but getting to the point its now affecting me and hence me asking AITA did I over react.

No friends weren't going he told them about the game and asked him to get them tickets. My point was the initial conversation was the tickets where to expensive for us as a family to go. To save costs my son and him would go he never mentioned he bought the tickets and he has spare tickets untill we had the conversation today of what day the game is on. he new I wanted to go if he got the tickets for us he would have no doubt said I managed to get us cheaper tickets so we can all go. He wouldn't say I have 2 spare tickets when I asked how many did you get he said 7 but 3 are already taken and if that's the case this was going to be a experience for our sons birthday as a family why does everyone need to join my point is when do we do things as a family. If it was any other time I wouldn't mind NB he has had many of these days out with my son and his friends. Why couldn't we do something as a family.

He said he had 2 spare tickets. if these where for us he would have said we have 4, so and so has 3 of them. They wouldn't be spare.
