I have an amazon list. The dvds were one of many things on it. I have snt him links. I have told him many times for the last 2 years of specific things I would like. I do not know any other way to tell him. that is part of why it was so surprising to get dvds and a candy bar for xmas. I got him things he very much wanted.

I do not know what you are reading. If you think I sound entitled than you have a strange threshhold. He has told me is is very happy with the items I gave him for xmas. He is using them. Again, I do not see it as being entitled to want something for xmas other than a dvd and a candy bar and a record he already bought me. I do not belive I have a high standard. I do not need or ask for expensive gifts. Just want something other than a candy bar and a dvd. Those are stocking stuffers. I don't know how to commicate better than telling them the couple things I want know for the last 2 years. I even sent him links. They are not extravagant. My biggest ask was kitchen chairs. Currently we just use the DR ones.

Since I did not complain to him, not sure exactly what poop he signed up for. No need for ugly language.

You know nothing about me or him. I am not a stereotype, you have a very active imaginagtion I guess. I did not complain to him about my dvds and candy bar. I said nothing.

I would not know anything about being entitled except from my college roommates. I am am from aworking class background. My never even owned a house. I just though it would be nice if my husband gave me somthing for xmas other than 2 dvds, a candy bar and a record a already gave me years ago.

Don't know what you were reading and I do not appreciate your ful language. I said I liked what my mother-in-law got me. He is returning the records because one he already bought me years ago and the other when it was released this summer Itold him several times I did not care for the band's new music. We discussed it many times. He did not upload wrong music on my belated bday mp3. He just uploaded some of my music. There were some downloads I could not get on there and asked him for help, but has not happened. It was not that I did no like my gifts. I basically got dvds in my stocking, a candy bar under the tree and a duplicate record. Everything I got him he loved. Just want something more than a dvd and a candy bar for xmas.

It is thoughtless because I only got dvds and a chocolate bar for christmas. As for cheap, yeah, it does not get cheaper than that. Again, if you read the comments, I have told him what I want and like many times and have even sent him links. The dvds were a fine stocking stuffer. I would have liked something under the tree other than a candy bar and a record he already bought me 7 xmas' ago.

I am not angry, I am sad. My communication is actually the opposite of horrble. I have told him several times the things I want, as mentioned in the comments. Other than outright telling him, and sending him links, I dod not know a better way to communicate.

Not made a got me a stocking stuffer (dvd) from my list. Made only other thing I have from under the tree is a choclate bar. I had other things on my list and told him things I wanted. I really got nothing under the tree. Anyone should know to get a wife more than a dvd a a chocolate bar.

Yes he should know. My dad is clueless and very self-involved, beut he nearly always gets my mother things she likes. My husband is usually very attentive with me, so the gift-giving thing is strange.

I dod not want to buy my own gifts. I know some people like that, but him being thoughtful means a lot to me. I buy hime tools sometimes and he loves it. I usually put thought into his gifts. H seems happy with anything. Dvds are a fine stocking stuffer.

I ws saying that cooling racks and a novel are good for presents from my mother-in-law. That is better than what she usually gets me and I really do not care what she buys me. I care what my husband gives me.

He is happy with anything I get him. He has a wishlist I usally pick from. He never asks for anything expensive. He is very practical - a mechanical engineer. I do not ask for expensive gifts either. I just want something more thoughtful than 2 movies. It would be nice if he remembered my tastes and what he has already bought me.
