Ex 2.0 texts me at 10:30 at night on Christmas Eve wondering what Lego sets DS was getting to make sure he hadn't gotten the same ones. Well, he has. Like ALL of them. Even 6 hours ago would have made more sense than asking me this now when there's nothing that can be done about it anymore.

Planning at it's finest. I don't really care about what I got because he opens mine first, but we're going to my parent's on Sunday and I know they got him a couple of them that he will be giving him tomorrow. How hard would it have been to ask? I told him he was getting tons of Legos. Oh well, they all end up in one big tote in the end anyhow, but I know he's going to open the sets at my Dad's and say "I already have this".

Obviously he was trying to make his piss poor planning your 911 emergency, lol. So, he can open it and say "I already have this" and then X can return it and "forget" to get him something else and it won't cost him a dime.

Oh ladies! You seem to know so little about men! Men don't plan! Men just do! the only things we are planing are fishing and hunting trips. If planing of things like Christmas gifts were a treat for men then we would need something extra like maybe...some brains?! Dont blame the poor man! Blame God or Mother Nature or Darwin and his theories but not the man. Have a heart, is Christmas! But in all honesty, he is an "asshat" and "dickhead" and whatever expletive you may find appropriate for the occasion. Is his child and for that it doesn't take planing, it takes heart!

Crisis averted. Apparently he bought an insane crap ton amount of stuff some to give him, some today and some at their family Christmas which is January 9th. He's going to hold off on any of the Legos until after Sunday and exchange if he already got them.

I'd take it your ex 2.0 is either Russian Orthodox or Amish? They are the ones that I know that celebrate Christmas in January. Anyhow, it looks like he was prepared for all sorts of scenarios. (still an asshat!)

With the large families, Christmas is celebrated through the month with different ones.
DH was very thoughtful this year. I participate in the fishing, hunting. I got an hard sided arrow case, 6 carbon arrows, an avi shovel then what I asked for, a plug in heated car seat for the -30 degree days.
He gets a snowmobile trip out of town. His wrapped gift was a Broncos quick dry polo shirt. Later this weekend he'll get himself some jeans.

January 9th was the first day the entire family could make it. He has 6 siblings. The Legos are kind of a non-issue. I'm pretty sure DS will be content with what he got him and not feel shorted. A PS4, Lego Dimensions starter set for the PS4, 3 expansion packs, a couple other games, some Minion puzzles, a few books and the four Lego sets. Holy Crap! I'll bet it was near $1000! I spent $150 including all the Santa gifts and stocking. Oh well...he was happy. He came screaming into my bedroom this morning that Santa left him toothpaste in his stocking. "HOW DID HE KNOW I WANTED THE STRIPED STUFF?!?!" LOL

Any boy that would go in and pick out the 'misfit kitties' is not going to value stuff over love. Wrong son.....

But, I get that the dollar amount doesn't really matter. His Dad buys him tons of stuff all year so no shock he'd go nuts at Christmas. And, he just texted me. "These kids get too much stuff these days." WTH?

Older son"s dad buys very little in gifts. Usually just one thing for Christmas and birthday and nothing extravagant. Younger son's Dad is always buying him things. It will be interesting to see how this turns out 10 years from now. I really hope it doesn't turn him into a brat that doesn't appreciate things.
