I send links with detailed instructions and still get a shitty version of what I sent.

Need a new cast iron skillet. Send a link with the exact 1 and even show the wife in a store. Get a set of 3 with the largest one being half the size I ask for.

She asks about shirts. I send her the link to the ones I like and tell her no less than 5 times I hate button down collars. Guess what 2 shirts with button down collars.

My wife loves wine I do not. So yes I got 3 bottles of wine. She said I know you like this one so I got it for you. I only drink it when she begs me to have wine with her.

Bought something really cheap I needed a few weeks back. Could not find it anywhere. Well it was wrapped and under the tree. She was so proud of herself. Of course I had already bought another one and used it when I needed it.

2 months ago she showed me something she thought I would love. I told her I will never use that. It came in and she showed it to me thinking I just did not understand. I told her I would still never use it. Guess what it was wrapped and under the tree today. She said I really think you will use it. I will not.

Being the good guy I am I said thanks. In a few days I will return every gift I got and go buy the right things.

Every year for the last 20 I think this might be the year I am surprised on Christmas and I am shocked each year in a bad way.

Kids open a present and if they like it they turn to me and say thanks dad and if not they say thanks mom. She has not figured out that they know exactly who things came from even though we say from mom and dad on everything.

My kids both told me what they tried to get for me and what she switched it to. Problem is at 16 and 19 they still don’t just go on their own to get me something they let her be involved.

I guess I should take family out the name of the thread and go with wife.
