We wanted to get SS a certain thing for his birthday, but BM argued with us about it and brought up all these reasons not to get it for him. Then we find out that she's getting this very thing for him for Christmas... OK... just a few months ago she had a dozen reasons why he shouldn't have gotten it for his birthday, and somehow it's now ok for her to get it for him for Christmas? I'm trying not to let the things that she does get to me, but it's the little stuff like this that makes me feel like she doesn't care about making sense, and that she just argues with us for the sake of making things difficult. Ugh.

next time i would just get it for him and not ask for her opinion. it's that stupid games they like to play on you... it's up to you on what you want to get, never mind her opinion, better yet don't ask her. she'll just aggregevate (did i spell that right) you.

I personally think that she is jealous of this because she didnt want you to buy him a better gift maybe?I dont think that you should let her know these things because in the future it will always be a problem you are a parent here as well and you dont need her permission.You are a grown up and will always do whats best for the children therefore she does not need to know anything.

You are Julia Roberts in StepMom.. Remember she wanted to take Anna to a Pearl Jam concert and the bio said no its a school nite and then Julie drops them off and the bio says you better go get ready all that crap.. OMG I would have to have opened my mouth.. Its amazing that they all worked it out oh wait no its not its a MOVIE...
Get him a red rider BB Gun.. LOL I am kidding..
I am sorry for this.. Well then you should not let her know what you are buying him anymore for any occasion.. Its really none of her business.. That way she cannot tell you no and then make herself look good and go buy it.. For Christmas go buy her that movie StepMom wrap it up and mail it to her from annoymous... That would be hilarious.. And only tell us that you are doing it so hubby will not know noone but us.. I am sure we would all get a kick out of that..
Buy them a puppy and name it your name and send it home with him..
Sorry I am just being goofy with that one.. But smile and just keep your gift buying to you and your hubby and poop on her...

She loved your idea and that's why she told you he didn't need it. So she could buy it. It is always a competition. We have the same problems.
Don't tell her anymore. We can't tell stepson certain things because he will tell biomom and then she will do it or buy it before we do.
One time at Christmas, biomom tried to tell MY parents what they shouldn't get my stepson. Keep in mind that whatever they bought would have stayed at our house anyway. It was an expensive item and biomom just didn't want stepson to have it at our house and "like" our house better. The funny thing was, my parents never even planned to get that toy for stepson. It was just wishful thinking on stepson's part. Of course, he could have just been telling biomom that so she would go out and buy it for him. Kids are pretty smart!
