See all the gifts this woman got her kids for Christmas (photo)

Emma Tapping from the Isle of Man has been on the receiving end of criticism from internet users who questioned her parenting abilities after a photo of the gifts she got her kids for Christmas went viral. Emma got her kids three hundred gifts and despite the criticisms, she is adamant she has done nothing wrong. 

"The way I see it is you can buy your kids two presents or 200 presents - it's the way you bring them up," she told British television program This Morning . "My kids know the difference between right and wrong, they appreciate everything they get, and they don't get spoiled throughout the year."
Tapping also said that she spent around $2,276 on the gifts and does not even own a credit card.
She stated that she refused to pay full price for any of the gifts she purchased, opting for bargain hunting by following the advice of British financial adviser Martin Lewis.
"I'm not rich. I literally start from January, use every bargain that I can, and I shop all year round to make the pile as big as it is, and I start wrapping presents in August," she said. "And I do it all year round to give my kids the best Christmas I can."

  8. I pray and hope they grow up and be what she hope they will be. I did the same to my kids when they were growing up, some grew up knowing the value of giving while some of them chose to forget they ever received any present from me and never give anything unless they are forced to. Children can be very funny when they become adult, her children may grow up to hate her for these gifts. I wish her and the children MERRY XMAS. SHE IS JUST BEING A LOVING MOTHER THAT IS ALL. NO OFFENCE TO ANYONE.

  14. If you do this, they will talk. If you do that, they will talk.
    I like you madam... No good things comes easy.
    What they see is you standing out and to be outstanding you have to plan early.
    Enjoy your Christmas with your kids... I wish I planned early like you.
    May God give us the grace and idea to bring new things into existence, give us idea that will bring solutions to situations.
    Be inspired!

  15. Her life, her decisions, her choices, her money!!! People need to stop living other people's lives for them. She owes nobody any explanations. It's all about how you bring up your kids and what values they imbibe. We see some people buying cars worth a hundred thousand dollars and more for their teenage kids and nobody raises any eyebrows. Live and let live!

  21. To each his own. Me I don't see anything wrong in what she's doing, she planned it, worked hard for it. It's almost as if she's fulfilling her own dreams and by doing this, she's getting as much joy as she's giving.
