I feel like a failure for only getting my 9-year-old cheap bits off TikTok for Christmas, but trolls slam my ‘sob story’

A WOMAN has revealed how she was left feeling like a "terrible mum" due to the presents she got her daughter for Christmas. Lauren insisted she'd "failed massively" as she'd only bought a few things for her nine-year-old, as she admitted she feels "sad" looking at the haul.

"I've seen loads of these videos of what I got my kid for Christmas and I already feel like a s**t mum, so I'm just going to show you why I feel like I've failed massively, massively failed this year," she said in a video on her TikTok page. "Like it actually makes me sad looking at this pile because I just think like what the f**k?".
She "started off strong" with the word game Tapple, which she said she'd got off TikTok Shop a "while ago". Lauren also bought her daughter a "cheap and cheerful" 150 piece art set from TikTok. On the clothes front, she'd bought two co-ord sets from Zara, which had been in the sale, as well as two beanie hats, some pyjamas for Christmas Eve, some socks and a pack of hair bobbles.

She concluded the present rundown with a kids' camera and thermal printer from TikTok Shop, and a Stanley cup dupe from Primark for £6. "I actually think is quite a lot considering Aldi do them for like £3 which I only saw after I'd already bought this," Lauren added.

"I was a bit annoyed!". Concluding, she sighed: "That is literally it and I feel awful about it.". "This year is not the one… here's what i got my 9 year old for Christmas," Lauren captioned the video, alongside hashtags such as #costofliving. Despite her honest post, Lauren faced backlash from some people - one of whom hit out at her "sob story".
