Santa came already for kids

In all the other hullaballo, I forgot to mention that my fiance's parents got time from his ex again this weekend. We offered them time on Dec 23rd to come to our new house and bring the kids their gifts. They never responded to our offer of a couple of hours, and instead had the kids this weekend. Not such a big deal in the grand scheme of things but they gave the kids gifts from Santa. On Dec 16th. I have posted before about my opnion of having Santa come 1 night early. What the hell are they thinking pretending that santa came 2 weeks early. Plus the fact that my fiance asked them not to label the gifts from Santa....

I know, I know, I shouldn't care. Honestly though, these kids were on the verge of not believing anymore. If Santa conveniently coming because g'ma nd g'pa are leaving to go out of town soon doesn't push them over the edge, I don't know what will. That was definitely part of the frustration with them earlier this weekend.

my husbands parents are the same and i hate it. they think they know more than us and think that only them know what's best for my sd. 3 weeks ago they asked my sd what she wanted for Christmas even though we had told me that she not to get toys this year because she does not play with them at all. well! sd wants a tv game were you load your face on to it and apply virtual make up. she is only 8 years old and does not know how to clean herself properly oh but she will learn how to apply make up. my husband told them not to get it for her but to get her something else. they refused and got mad at him. i think they will get it for her because they think that what they say goes. and to relate to your problem my mother in law also gets very friendly with ex wife and her parents knowing that they are lousy people. some in laws i swear they are from another planet how else can you explain their behaviour.

Well, the only good thing to come of it is that now my fiance agrees that we shouldn't give the kids their Santa gifts here before Christmas Day. We had been going back and forth. Once his parents did it he realized how silly it was to give them before the day that every single kids knows santa REALLY comes.

Makes me sad for the kids because they are so smart, they had to have figured it out.
