We are local so it's not a vacation. He said " the kids get way too much for Christmas I would rather spend the money on something that they can do". He was speaking with my own mother in front of the children when he said this. She said the same thing so they came up with this plan on their own.

Actually if you wanna get technical they don't have any biological grandchildren or children for that matter since they adopted both their children. My husband adopted my eldest and has been in his life since he was 3. They've never verbally differentiated between grandkids they simply favor my husband's first two biological children.

That's the thing they did promise the kids. We were at their house when the 3 kids formulated this plan. Both mother in law and father in law said this is a fantastic idea. I'm the one who agreed I didn't even initiate it. Its not a vacation vacation omplys you "go away " somewhere. We're local. The kids been longer on the school bus one waythan it would take to get to Disney.

No that's why my in laws have held all the gift cards and money that they have saved in there safe the entire year. I didn't want to take a chance of my husband coming across the gift card and using it for something when he was short on cash. Literally every dime has gone in my in laws safe until tickets go on sale. Mid January they will come out with the Florida discount rate like they do every year which is three visits to Disney $189 for the children and they will have until May to use it with Spring Break blacked out. They're literally is no chance that they could spend it anywhere else because its locked away and not in my home. The only people that can access the gift cards are my mother and father in law and they're millionaires so I know they would never use the kids money.

Have a pretty good suspicion that my stepson mentioned in passing he wanted new Golf Clubs And my father in law being an avid golfer takes him golfing almost every Saturday. My step son doesn't need new clubs. We have kids clubs. I think it was away for my father in law to be able to buy him golf clubs. But my father in law knew that this would mean that my step son would not be able to come to Disney with the rest of the family so he wanted to pull it from the others too. When I told my step son he was going to have to choose between a present and Disney he said oh he wants to go to Disney. This was just a passive aggressive way to make sure the other kids didn't get to do something that their favorite grandchild could not.

Apparently I left out the part that they promised this to them and after going to Disney a few weeks before with friends told the kids how much the going to love it. The cost of the gift card doesn't matter it said he wanted to re nig after getting them excited about it.

Thank you everyone else is making me feel like I'm out of line for expecting him to do what he promised without a fight. Father in law push to do your husband to enroll stepson in a school that cost me money out of pocket without my knowledge after my father in law said that he would cover it. It's not about the money it's about doing what you said you would.

Quite frankly my inlaws are millionaires so saying that they would cover the expense for my step son school and then not doing it puts me in a tough situation.

My husband has a tough time finding work and keeping a job because he was diagnosed with epilepsy after fall 4 yrs ago. He has seizures when he has undue amount of stress as well as normal seizures occasionally. He does not have enough seizures to qualify for disability however his longest job was last spring held it less than 3 months and had 3 seizures. He's no longer able to work around aircraft like he had while in the military. Luckily he just got a job when school starts back up as an assistant teacher. I am praying that it will be low stress enough to not have seizures on the job. When his last employer realized he had seizures she would scream curse and berate him for doing exactly what she I told him to writing him a written warning so that she could eventually get rid of him. My husband is actually a hard worker but when employers find out they find him a liability

It's not bad for a Florida resident thier special starts at every year in January $189 for 3 visits and you have 5 months to use it. It's better than any other discounts. My husband and I will be 199. We are local so we don't have to stay anywhere we can just go home. And honestly we can just park at Downtown Disney and take the bus for free so we don't have to pay for parking either. My mother in law convinced him to stick with his word so the kids did get their gift cards.

Of course on Christmas Day all I heard was about how I spent too much money on the kids and got him too much stuff. Then why the hell was he so worried about having to lighten my load?!?! He b****** at me every year that I buy them too much stuff. It just makes sense why my sister-in-law never invites them over for Christmas.
