[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 431209, member: 6705"] This can go other ways, too. When I met husband - he was a "Disneyland Dad"... because he rarely got to see the kids. So it was always something fun, video games, or canoeing, amusement and waterparks, etc. Always something. That first Christmas? He bought them an XBox. We still have it. I had to take the controllers away from Jett. mother in law is still like this - season passes to the amusement and waterparks. Stuff, stuff, and MORE STUFF - wasted money, really. So I know where husband gets it. BUT - it is the same thing. mother in law, and husband, both feel guilty for their divorces from the other bio. When I got involved... I tried to convince husband that time with him was far more important. And to some extent, it's worked. BM, on the other hand, has used STUFF as bribes for the kids. So either way - they both think they should get (or in Onyxx's case, take) whatever they want. It just doesn't work that way in real life. And that's the cultured part of their GFGness. And I'm guilty of this, too - I just let them do whatever (sometimes) because I don't want to deal OR I am simply AFRAID. [/QUOTE]
