That is a big pile of present presents and the children are ranging from 9 to 3 months and she shops all year long, and that is a lot. And can you imagine after present 50, you are sort of tearing through it. And you dont want to forget what you have gotten, because by present 70, you are not remember ing what happened in one. And it might be excessive, but it is not the time to judge. There there is is a lot of mom judging goes on. And you saying that i might be done breastfeeding makes me scared.
