I must be taking crazy pills because aparently DH thought our discussion regarding Christmas didn't apply to his kid...So Dh and I have been trying to put away every little bit that we can to save up towards getting a house. We live in an apartment right now and we have long ago outgrown it. We rarely go out, I clip coupons like a madwoman, We hold off on things unless we absoloutely need them, and pretty much for the most part get by on the bare minimum to try to save up. Well, we had a discussion about Christmas and how we weren't going to go nuts this year on presents for anyone so we could put some of that $$$ in the bank towards a home. We were only going to get each other a couple very small things. He was in total agreement....or so I thought. So the other day, he said he was going to get SD a very expensive drum set, some video games, and stocking stuffers. Really? Soooo us holding back and not forking out much for Christmas presents apparently doesn't apply to the "princess"? Of course....

:jawdrop: Dear Lord! Oh yeah, of course she hasn't touched it. What a load of crap! Out of all the things Dh's daughter has, she will be impressed with it the second she gets it and then it's old news later that day

OH and if my DH ever told me I should buy something for his kid because i "have the money"...well let's just say he would be regretting that. Are you kidding me?

Ugh. I think I offended BF yesterday when he was taking about the nice things he was getting for my kids and I asked him not to because I am not getting anything for his. He can do for them and I will do for mine. I'm not spending a dime on those ungrateful bitches. Mine understand when things are tight and they're fine with that. I think we all have pretty much what we need anyway and if you get something you wanted, bonus!

Yeah I buy skid nothing for Christmas....DH can do that on his own. She wouldn't care things are tight, she would just stare off with a dumb blank look on her face trying to figure out which sort of tantrum she wanted to throw...

I stopped purchasing gifts for the skids a few years ago and left it all up to DH - now instead of gifts they would actually use and enjoy, they get a best buy gift card since that's usually the only place DH shops. Or I should say it's the really the only store DH spends any amount of time in - dreaming about what he's not getting for Christmas this year!

Tofurkey - I would tell him very politely that he is not getting that expensive shit for his SD because you are trying to buy a house - that is insane - I would kill him then go out and take the same amount of money and pretend to buy something for the same value and see what he does - seriously if my DH tried to pull that shit with my SS he would be on the outside looking in - there have to be priorities and in this day and age when you can get a nice house really cheap then that should be your priority not making sure that Princess has toys she will never use. Good luck!!
