I think I am btw but would just like clarification or indeed suggestions as to an alternative
Dss 10yrs lives here for one week and at mum's for one week. This has been the case for 4 years now.
For clarity, we get on very well, I am friends of sorts with his mum and we keep in contact (all 4 adults) regarding his schooling, upbringing and clubs/events.
My problem is Christmas. Eldest dss would like something which will cost us £300 and then there is the games etc which cost £50 a piece.
His mum has just confirmed this morning that she has already bought this which is fine.
So bearing in mind we have another 2 dss and my daughter to buy for, would I be unreasonable in saying to dss that as he already has this at mum's can he suggest something else he might like?
- Because if he already opens it at mum's on Christmas morning then the excitement has gone perhaps
- Does a 10 yr old boy really need 2 of these consoles?
Worth noting that mum doesn't allow him to take things from hers to ours. Everything of theirs stays in her house.
Should we look at getting something else despite him asking for this for our house?
He won't know at this stage that he will have it at mum's
