[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My dad gave my stepmother $200 to purchase a special Christmas gift for me as I would be spending Christmas with them that year. Stepmom used the money to purchase for me a pair of green rubber boots and a robe (we lived in a warm climate where no one wears boots).  I wasn’t upset by the gift, because I knew my stepmom didn’t like me, but I did feel a bit sad after watching my half siblings open all their gifts for over an hour. When I returned to my mom’s house and showed here the gifts I received, she was furious. My mom thought that the boots and robe looked used or regifted and cheap. My mom was so hurt by the gift, that she promptly called my dad to give him a piece of her mind. That was the last time I ever spent Christmas (or any other holiday) with my dad and his new family.[/quote]

Curious, PP ... how is it that you knew your SM had $200 to spend solely on you? Did your dad tell you that?  If so, shame on him.

This reminds me of the gifts I got from my stepdaughter who was in her early 20s and working at the time.  One was a bar of soap that came free with purchase. Another was a 3-pack of socks, with one pair missing. Then she really stepped up and bought me a necklace with the most horrid green and brown stones in it (think 70's shag carpeting colors.)

So it goes both ways.
