Feeling very down today- but didn't soothe with food!

Sorry , Your having a bad day , But be thankful to see your kids smile today !

Some parents in NEWTOWN, Conn. didn't see that today .

Ok so this does put it all in perspective but you know what, this is about her being upset about the way her husband is treating her, not about a gift. It is incredibly sad that those families don't have their loved ones but I don't see how comparing her story to something that awful is proving a point.

So sorry to hear you had to go through that hurt on Christmas. Been there

I finally started buying a present for myself and filling my own stocking. It upset my kids when I had nothing to open, but they were too young to take care of it themselves. Now it's all good - things can improve, have hope

That's kinda crappy that he didn't get you anything. I'd be bummed out too. I'm glad you took that disappointment and turned it into something positive, though!

For anyone else with a husband that either hates to shop or doesn't know what to get - set up a wishlist! I have a wishlist on amazon and I can link things in from non-amazon vendors too. It takes the guesswork out of it for him and he can shop from his computer if he wants.
