[quote=Anonymous]Address expectations about spending (i.e., you agree to discuss purchases over $X first). Plus, you should have had a discussion before it happened and agreed on a Christmas budget-- overall and/or per kid. And going forward, do you agree about things like paying for college, weddings, etc. you need to be on the same page financially. Not sure I would touch the iPhones now, though. That horse has left the barn. And, for many families, getting a child an iPhone for Christmas is nbd. DH May have felt like he was on solid ground (although, if he hid the receipt, maybe not). Others, like us, give kids hand me downs when we upgrade. You might come off as a little evil stepmom-- we can afford an iPhone upgrade for us, but not YOUR kids (although as I said, I agree with the premise of use iPhones for kids). So, deal with the underlying problem-- poor communication about money. [/quote]
