I did the spoiling this year at Christmas. I did the double standard buying. My skids aren't here. SD20 rarely makes contact. On her own. Ss15 tells his dad our house is boring. He is refusing to come for visitation. When he's here he does nothing, he doesn't talk and life is about him and what he wants.

Dd12 wanted an Ipod touch and I broke and bought it for her. Last night she copper an attitude after she kept trying to figure out if Santa was bringing her the Ipod. I told her those were expensive. She copper a pouty attitude. She's usually a really good kid. Told her that there was more to Christmas than expensive presents. She wakes up thus morning crying...... Apologized saying she was really sorry she shouldn't have been so selfish and she understood they were really expensive and she was sorry she was just thinking about herself.

The ipod was really hidden well. Inside slippers....she screamed and got real serious and threw herself into my arms and said thank you mommy and was extremely serious and very appreciative.

I'm a proud mommy.

As for my sk it 930a and no txt from either wishing their dad a merry Christmas.
