is it offensive (presents)

[nat_1]

Do you think it would offend family if you spent your xmas money on things for your horse instead of yourself?
Only i bought stuff for myself yesterday from next and matalan,then today i took most of it back for refunds and went to horsatack and bought a lovely pink wetherbeeta fleece for bargain price of £19 and other yard stuff (that is needed )

I feel a bit guilty but far happier with my purchases today

Your family gave you money to buy things your need or wanted, if those things are horsey then so be it.
If they wanted you to have a jumper or save it then they would have bought you a jumper or put the money in a savings account.

If your that worried they will be offended then a white lie won't hurt, just tell them you bought a top in the sales...they won't know you haven't. unless they inspect your wardrobe?!!!?

if it is then I've offended most of my family I've bought horsey stuff from amazon (plus some books for me).
I then spent £50 on them today in tack shop.

I'm happy, and surely thats the main objective? No point buying stuff you don't want.

Well if your Dad really enjoyed playing golf and spent his Christmas money on a new set of golf clubs that he was really looking forward to using would you be offended? I certainly wouldn't be! I consider that if I buy anything for my horse it's ultimately for me anyway!

Spend it on horsey stuff = happy you and happy horse

I am delighted when my grandchildren/ neices and nephews spend the Christmas / birthday money on their favourite hobby ( as long as it's not wasted drugs, drink or cigarettes)
So I guess your folks won't be offended when they see their money is not wasted and has made you happy.

both oh and mum wanted me to buy stuff for myself rather than horse, don't really know why.. anyway ended up doing a bit of both and but my fave purchase is the mark todd rug I bought half price! I love spoiling the cob, whereas I already have too many clothes

If youre buying what makes you happy, they should be well pleased

Nope, not at all! The point of giving someone money is generally for the recipient to spend it as he or she wishes!

I now feel better!

Im under strict instructions that my xmas money is to go towards clothing or footwear for me as most of mine are in holes Horse products not allowed!

Not in the slightest, if they'd wanted you to get things for you, they should have given you M&S vouchers
