I forgot 😭

Me and my family are having our Xmas day today. Well this afternoon. Feels a bit odd to open gifts at 4pm ish. Anyway I forgot the hdmi cables for the kids tv/console 😭

And I have a bad feeling that ds 9 is going to throw a strop because I got ds8 a ps5. Wish I just got the both xbox now so they both have the same 😭 i got them an Xbox as a joint present for their birthday but ds 9 kept hogging it so I got them a console each. But I should have got them the same..

And by bringing Xmas day forward a day i have sort of fucked up. It means i will have adult dd and gs staying tonight and tomorrow night. Where normally it's only the one night. Plus shes got to bring her puppy with her . So I'm going to have 3 dogs in my house. Plus 9 people that's going to be a madness ffs.

I'm still excited though fuck knows why with that madness 🤣 I got to get off my fat arse and do something soon

i don’t think you should just passively accept that your 9YO will have a tantrum - he’s got an Xbox and got the WII he wanted for Christmas. Your youngest has a PS5 because he couldn’t use the Xbox, any tantrums from DS9 and the Xbox or WII would be going away - 9 is plenty old enough not to behave so ungratefully! But yes probably would’ve got them the same 😬😬 hopefully he’ll react better than you think!

I agree with PP and would do dinner and drinks this afternoon, and then gift opening tomorrow morning and have a lazy day until adult DS goes to work.

Yeah ds 9 may well be fine. He has autism so not always logic. Anyway either way it won't last ot just be a kid tantrum them we will move on 😅.

We are doing Xmas opening today .. that's what works best. Ds does not want the feeling of ffs work in a few hours.

In that case, enjoy your present opening and have a wonderful Christmas!
