[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a life. Seriously. You've turned it into a tug of war and I have no idea why. You are competing with her more than she is with you. Laptops, iPods, these are main/huge gifts. Stop trying to buy the kid's love. [/quote]

I agree.

If dad is okay with it or wants to work out gift giving with mom, then you need to be okay with whatever he decides to do.

I get the impression that you are trying to stick it to the child's mom.  Were you the other woman in the divorce?[/quote]

Sigh. No. I'm not trying to stick it to the mom. I'm trying to be a good stepmother and buy my stepson gifts for Christmas that he actually wants and will enjoy, that's all. I should have known not to post this on DCUM, where a stepmother is trying to one-up the mom if she wants to treat her stepchild nicely at Christmas. You all know full well if another stepmom said she doesn't care what her stepkid gets for Christmas, she doesn't even consider it her responsibility to buy him anything because that's not her kid, or bitched about what her DH wanted to spend on "his" kid, she'd get reamed by the bio-moms for not treating her stepchild like her own.
