H being ridiculous over a bauble

Yes you read that right... A Christmas bauble is the latest source of ridiculousness in our house.

My parents got all of their grandkids a personalised bauble this year to put on their trees which included our DC, along with my nephew and niece. They do this every year for Dsis' children but it's our child's second Christmas (weren't given one last year as only tiny) so first time they were given one.

Apparently we can't possibly put this bauble up because DSC don't have the same bauble with their names on... Just go and buy a freaking bauble for them then!

I can't cope with this level of stupidness.

Well I hope this has been sorted out because it wasn't just the bauble obviously.

The whole lack of caring on how SC would feel seeing this on the tree.

@Kikkk

You should update the thread.

Many people would like to know what's happened since if it's been resolved if it has then happy for you all. Enjoy Christmas.

The teen step children who dont even know this happened (you litrally cant be upset over something you dont even know about) will feel exactly nothing towards the fact their baby sibling got a bauble from people they dont even know (even if the did find out).

I think you have summed up your husband well.

A disney dad who wants everyone to do live up to HIS idea of fairness, whilst never putting himself out.

It really reads as if you have chosen very unwisely.

What must your parents think!

Do you see the relationship surviving his tediousness?

You hardly must be enthusiastic about having another child with him?

Cutting your losses sounds like a plan to me.

Exactly this.

I wouldn't have given a shit if my step mum's parents who I rarely saw and certainly didn't consider grandparents bought a bauble for their grandkids and not me.

Its just a bauble, its a shame your parents didnt get them one. I would have. Bit mean tbh.
