Kanga in all her infinite pre-teen wisdom has decided that if she wishes for stuff for Christmas, she will get it, and even if it is something she is not allowed to have, there is nothing I can do about it because it is her Christmas gift. Boy, is she in for a shock :hammer:
She will get a preview soon when her birthday doesn't turn out as expected. She already got her birthday present from husband and I ( a new door and lock to replace the one she broke). She is convinced that we will get her something else too (not going to happen). Due to her stealing, she is banned from all money so I am 'previewing' any cards she gets and replacing the cash with gift cards. She has asked each grandma to take her shopping with her expected gift cards - she still is in denial that if she comes home with inappropriate clothing, that I will throw it out (I've been throwing out her inappropriate clothes for months - I have no idea where some of it comes from, she must be getting it from friends at school because she is never unsupervised except there.) Others are clothes that start out appropriate but she damages them or wears them in an inappropriate way.
I'm bracing for the rage when she finally realizes that her demands aren't being met...
