About ten yours ago my daughter asked Santa for a portable DVD player. I checked with my ex and told him I was buying it for her so he could get something else for her Santa present. He totally agreed and named a few choices he had.
She spent Christmas Eve with him and when I picked her up she was so, SO excited. Santa had visited her at her dads house and she got a DVD player! I was SO MAD. He’s always been petty like that and it was done specifically to make me look bad. Of course, there was nothing I could do at 10 pm on Christmas Eve so Christmas morning she got a second one. His was cheap and broke in like a month but still. It still makes me mad.
Oh yes! You reminded me of another one. My ex remarried a woman with 4 kids and they adopted another one. So they rarely had much money to spend on Christmas. Usually he would ask for some suggestions and get some of what I suggested.
One year, he didn’t ask. I guess that year he had more money or something. Anyway they had gotten a Nintendo the year before and had asked for 2 games each that year. These were popular games that were hard to find. I found them! And had them all neatly wrapped. The boys came home Christmas Eve with ALL 4 games! This was the biggest part of their Christmas because these darn things were expensive! Plus there were some board games they had asked for and he got all those too!
There was one store open in all of our town so dh and I made a beeline up there to find something to replace it all with. First time I spent the 26th in a rerun line!
