It’s nearly time for all the materialistic parents to compete and broadcast how many presents their kids have. Just remember there are a lot of children who won’t get much.

Other parents began to share the photo, calling Tapping’s kids “spoiled brats” and condemning her for not teaching her kids “to appreciate what they have and help others”.
Some people sided with Tapping, saying that it’s “no one else’s business how you spend your money”.
With criticism mounting, Tapping decided to defend her tree and the presents on her own Facebook page:
This picture was put on my Instagram along with pictures of homemade decorations I had made with the kids. It was taken, screenshot and blasted all over Facebook without my knowledge. It was not done as a ‘bragging parent’… The presents under the tree are for my children, myself, my partner and my mother, not just the kids.
“Please try and remember this is about three little children, their Christmas, their tree,” she wrote.
Tapping told BuzzFeed that she’s not going to let the criticism ruin her children’s Christmas:
…I shop savvy to give my kids a good Christmas. I would happily help anyone find the bargains or give tips on how I save. I think how I spend my money on my children is my choice.
