I would return all the gifts I bought him, buy myself all the gifts I wrote on the list, and tell him that he can spend his gift money however he chooses to. He can treat my sister for Christmas, but I’m not going to babysit for the holidays.
With that first story, I don't think her boyfriend was actually listening when she told him at one point how it really affected her having to grow up too fast!! That's honestly a harsh reality for a lot of older siblings who have to be the one to step up cause the parents are working!! Second story: I honestly think the dad is giving off the energy that he hated giving his son any form of attention, but feels it's the least he can do so that he doesn't end up being a deadbeat dad!! In the end, he'll end up being the disingenuous kind of father!!
Agreed for the first story. If she didn’t have a list and said she was fine with whatever and was upset about her sister coming I would be on the boyfriend’s side. But surely he heard her mention constantly how excited she was that it would be the two of them?
Story one: She bought him everything he wanted and told him repeatedly how excited she was to spend Christmas alone with him, and he gets her a freaking chore? Yeah, I'd be crying, too.
0:05: OP had the responsibility of taking care of her siblings basically all her life, and now that she has a chance to escape this and spend Christmas with her BF, the BF goes and gets her the very thing she's trying to escape from. While OP may love her sister, what her BF did was very inconsiderate. OP should find a way to get back at her BF just to show how she truly feels about this gesture. 5:31: OP's husband did his son dirty by pulling off this prank, thereby potentially ruining his Christmas. The husband better go to the ends of the earth to make it up to his son.
The last one was just plain mean. My uncle pulled the same prank on my brother one year. My brother really wanted a cassette recorder that year, and the only one likely to get it for him was my uncle. On Christmas day, my brother pulled the wrapping paper off the box, and there it was. When he opened the box, he found a brick, wrapped in aluminum foil. Fortunately, my uncle DID have the recorder, and didn't make my brother suffer too long, before giving it to him. If it were me, I would demand that OP make it up to his son, and then shut him off in the bedroom until he did, for as long as it takes. He IS a deadbeat dad!!!
imo the first story seems cute, BUT she didn't mention her sister at all in her plans, and explicitly stated her expectations and needs. he blatantly ignored her, that's the biggest issue. and it sucks bc now she has to power thru w/ her sister, whom she loves, instead of just enjoying her time. not even for a day, an entire week. she loves her, but there are times when you don't want to be around people, and that's valid. sucks :/
1st story: These are the stories that make me want to spend the actual holidays and bdays alone. I treat people or take their invitations but that is after that special day is over 😅 Often times we hear people, especially men say "we're not mind readers just tell us what you want?" And then when we tell them exactly what we want even hand them a list, what happens then? 😂 This is why when i like something, if i think i have the money i just get it for myself. Sure i love gettings gifts but rarely do people know what i want even when they have known me since birth.
If i were the woman in the first story, I would let the boyfriend take the sister to the movies , etc and I would go and do things on my own. He invited her so he can babysit her.
My 30 year old niece was born Boxing Day. Sadly I’m the only one in the family that buys her two gifts every year. Her Christmas gift is wrapped in Christmas wrapper and her birthday gift in birthday wrapper. She gets one gift from family including her mom that always reads “Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas.” 🤦🏽♀️
It sounds to me like this was already in the plans like her parents was like hey how about we do this for Christmas and instead of telling her he just went along with all the planning that she was doing and then was like surprise because he already had it planned with the parents the parents were like hey we want a break. That's what I think happened in that first story.
First story, BF is super insensitive. There is no way he thought that was a good gift, that's why he told her early. Another case of someone forcing their will on another....A-hole.....
2nd Story: deadbeats parent can still be in the home and be deadbeat parent as they are so emotionally unattached to their kids that they may as well be the fathers that went to get milk but never came back mentality cause that what i just heard, hopefully this was the reality check of the mom that her husband somewhere along the way clocked out of the family unit, so she's going to need some serious therapy (couple, family and individual) if she don't want her son further traumatized by the "father" that's better than a deadbeat no matter how cruel or upset he makes his kid cause well he lives with them obviously that what makes a "dad" right?
I have cherished things i wouldn't get myself because i see how excited the person is giving them to me, and i still love them. For the people in my life who genuinely can't think about what to get me, just give me money, it doesnt have to be alot its just enough:)
1st story: i understand where she's coming from partly because she said she had to grow up being a parent to her sister partly because he KNOWS she hates surprises it does seem like he DISRESPECTED 1 of her boundaries and accused her of being ungrateful
i try to see both sides for the first story, but it's not working ahaha. apart from the obvious reasons why it's not working, that week is THE week in the year in which they have free from working, if the sister was atleast coming for a day or two... but the entire week is a damn lot.
First story: This was a bad idea from the beginning. Boyfriend has no idea of the family dynamic, and he decides to invite someone to spend Christmas with him and his girlfriend. Bad, bad, bad idea. Second story: Playing a prank like this on a child is cruel. pranks in general are for idiots and the father is the king of the idiots.
First story: Does he not know her? Does he not know her backstory? She's not being ungrateful, she is unheard and blindsided. The biggest problem is that she got him what he SAID he wanted. Why didn't he think she would want the same? I'm frustrated for her. 😕 Second story: Some grown men are actually just big, mean, jealous children. Thank God for real men.
Hii Ellen I love the video and your outfit I hope that you and coco have had a wonderful day and that the both of yall stay healthy and safe also coco is adorable I love the both of yall 💜💜💜
1st story, i stick to my guns and say to the bf that every minute that i have to enjoy my gift with my sister i grow to hate you a little bit (cause honestly you going to resent him for this so he can't and shouldn't gaslight that feeling your valid for having), that after the holidays i need some time a part cause this was a huge betrayal of my trust that you understood that i HATED surprises or grand gestures or being cornered into doing something just cause of family no matter the thoughtfulness behind the gift, if that means end we break-up cause you don't have the maturity to handle my boundaries and showing me through actions fine i want an equal partner i'm done parenting others." Also OP how old is you sister, that's coming to stay with you? like under 10 or a teen? obliviously a minor by the wording of babysitting, but can't you at least be honest with her and call her to say the bf just ratted out that parents plan of her coming and the while you'll love to see her the surprise vacay of hers with you ruined all your plans, that way she herself can choose to come still (like what web of lies given your family history you just documented did she get told about this trip to you ) or if it is set in stone that she comes ,she'll maybe want to take the effort to pamper you, like kids can tell tension and when their unwanted, so be straightforward with her give her the power to make this a better Christmas for you since her presence did shatter you vision of it.
First story: He called her parents for ideas or they called him under a false pretense. Her parents manipulated this guy to foist Christmas off so they didn't have to deal with it. If he can't recognize that he screwed up, run Lady. Cuz he's easi!y manipulated and worst listen to you. AND he's calling her ungrateful?! Uh, no. And I'd return most of his gifts and spend the money on yourself or on one of his siblings, cuz family....
1st story I'm completely on her side bc as the oldest & only girl. i took care of everything growing up. so she has a right to be upset with her bf. 2nd story why tf would the dad think that is funny. he is 7. he is a kid. i could understand it could be a funny prank if he was older but he is literally 7. talking about he is lucky he has your attention. you're his dad. that's what you're supposed to do.
How are you doing sweetie? How are you feeling? I hope just great!! In the very first story, while the main protagonist loves her sister dearly being suprised with her sister is no gift This was a traumatic setback for her because she never really had a childhood because she was busy raising her siblings. This was a very bad move for the noyfriend to make because now his girlfriend basically has to relive her childhood. She should break up with him right away because she told him about her chaotic childhood, and all of that information just went into one ear and came straight out the other. In the second story, I understand the main protagonist being mad at her husband for playing a prank like this, but on the other their son is just 7 years old meanwhile the PS5 Pro is $700 and what if their son damages it, then what. He'll be just fine. I love you!! Have a great day!! Stay safe beautiful!!
Story 1: The dude didn't listen to anything Op wanted. She wanted alone time with her boyfriend during Christmas and items she wanted for herself, but she was given memories of her childhood as a gift by making her take care of her little sister?? Meanwhile, Op splurged on him and got him everything we wanted/liked. Yeah, I would cry, too. Story 2: the dad lied to his son by pulling off this "prank." The dad probably couldn't afford the PS5 Pro but didn't want to admit it. I feel the son would've understood if the dad said "I'm so sorry but I don't have the money for it right now, maybe another time," but the way he can make it up to him is by saving up and actually getting him the ps5, not saying "I'll buy it another time" and not get it for him (sorry if this is a lot, but I hope you understand what I'm trying to say 😅)
I would return all the gifts I bought him, buy myself all the gifts I wrote on the list, and tell him that he can spend his gift money however he chooses to. He can treat my sister for Christmas, but I’m not going to babysit for the holidays.
I really agree with the first part. Why should she go without the things that she actually wanted/needed?
With that first story, I don't think her boyfriend was actually listening when she told him at one point how it really affected her having to grow up too fast!! That's honestly a harsh reality for a lot of older siblings who have to be the one to step up cause the parents are working!!

She return 3/4 of his gifts and give him the gift of couples counseling g

I'd return the gift I'd gotten the dad, use the money to get the kids his game system and replace the dad's gift with a shirt that says "No Dad!"
Second story, Dad needs to get five boxes of rocks next Xmas with No 1 family note in them and a lot of cheers. Let's see how grateful he is.....m

The second story: the bar is so low that some men think all they have to do is live with the mom and pay attention to the kids sometimes?!

I do have a feeling, that in the first story her parents may have had a role in this....
Merry Christmas y'all!
Story one - return some of his gifts & get the necessities she needs.
KOOOTIEE HAPPY HOLIDAYSSS
🥇
Hope you have a wonderful day!
