Mum is accused of 'abuse' for buying kids 300 Christmas presents

A Generous  mum-of-three who bought 300 Christmas presents for her kids has hit back at haters who accused her of spoiling them.

Emma Tapping, from the Isle of Man, posted a photo of her Christmas tree swamped by an enormous pile of gifts on social media last week.

The image went viral and she has since been accused of “abusing” her children.

Emma reposted the picture on her Facebook account

Speaking on today’s This Morning, Emma told hosts Holly Willoughby and Ben Shephard her kids, two daughters aged 13 and nine and a son of 19 months, are not spoilt throughout the year.

She said: “The way I see it is you could buy your kids two presents or 200 presents, it's the way you bring them up.

“You could buy your kids two presents and still have a little terror, my kids know the 

difference between right and wrong and they appreciate everything they get and they don't get spoilt throughout the year.

This Morning hosts Holly and Ben asked Emma what she made of claims she 'abused' her children

Emma explained that she is “not rich” and seeks advice from money saving experts like Martin Lewis to budget for her Christmas shopping, which starts during the January sales.

She claims the presents – totalling around 85 each for her three children and husband – cost just £1,500 in total.
