'I work hard for my kids', says mum
An Island mother of three who came under fire for splashing out on her children at Christmas has defended her actions.
Emma Tapping from the Eairy shared a picture of a mountain of presents under her tree on Instagram.
The 35 year-old was criticised for overzealous gift-giving at a cost of around £1,500.
However, Emma says she has saved up most of the year to ensure Christmas is special for her children and husband.
