[QUOTE="Mom2oddson, post: 369138, member: 65"] Because of the way husband is, we have a double standard in our house. easy child gets the short end of the stick. His B-day is in July, our tightest month. So, for the last 5 years, he really doesn't get anything for his B-day. And being a easy child, he understands we are broke and he's fine with no gift as long as we give him a hug for his B-day. And husband thinks this is just fine because easy child handles it so well. Yet, for husband, when it comes to the difficult children.... the sky would fall if we didn't get them a gift, even if we can't afford it. They have to have something or they may think we don't love them. And Christmas goes along a simular path. easy child gets money to help deferr the cost of the his college books. And husband wants to go all out on the difficult children. It was really a yucky Christmas last year when difficult child-Ant shows up long enough to open gifts but disappears before dinner and difficult child-Step doesn't even show up for another two days to collect her gifts. And husband the softee that he is, had to give them to her. I've gotten to the point that I let husband do as he pleases when it comes to B-days and Christmas. It isn't worth fighting over anymore.
