Since this just happened at my house and I am wondering if other people would be annoyed. Would you be annoyed if someone open and used YOUR Christmas gift before you did?
I got a new steam mop for Christmas. I was taking an afternoon nap and I get up and FH is in the process of using it. I hadn’t used it yet because I was waiting until my son goes back to school on Monday. Either way it pissed me off because it is MY gift not his.
Would you be annoyed

Hmm…personally, I would just be excited that Fiance was cleaning :). It would annoy me if it was something recreational, though!

Not when it’s something like a steam mop and he’s using it to clean our house. Unless you really wanna be the only one cleaning with it 😛

@jo.lee:
Ditto! I would just be excited that honey wanted to clean. If it was something reeeeaaaallllyyy cool though I think I’d be a bit bummed.

LOL He cleans our house ALL the time so I am not excited for him to clean. I really just wanted to have the fun of being the FIRST person to use it.
Does it count that it was the ONLY thing I asked for for Christmas?

You have an interesting definition of “fun”

@ejs4y8: LOL. Well it was my only bigger gift. I got a shirt and some candy and that. So to me it is the only FUN thing I got.
His family harshed on him for getting me it though.

A mop? I would’ve been annoyed to get a mop for Christmas to begin with, so someone using it before me wouldn’t make any difference!

@ejs4y8 LOVE it! As soon as I opened his family (almost all women) started yelling and screaming that it wasn’t a gift and went off on him. I did ask for it though. The Tshirt it got for me was huge FAIL though!

Um, it’s a gift for the house. Your Fiance was cleaning your house. You want to be married to him, right? That stuff is joint. If he was using your new makeup, i’d be concerned. But he was cleaning. Good for him!

I wouldn’t get annoyed if it was Fiance using one of my Christmas gifts. Maybe if it was family/friends or something…

@MissTatas: I think that’s true too. It does make a difference that it’s the Fiance and not just a friend or something.
@Nola: Sorry you’re bummed! I totally understand where you’re coming from, but I personally just wouldn’t feel too annoyed if it was my SO cleaning haha. You should tell him that since he obviously bought the present for HIM to use, he owes you another present
