Complaining about not getting presents always feels a little bit wrong, even when you’re in the right.

Mom criticizes 16-year-old son for celebrating Christmas and accepting gifts from his paternal grandparents after they excluded his step-siblings and half-siblings: ‘I told her I wasn’t missing Christmas with my family’

Ex-husband scolds the mother of his 3 children for not getting a Christmas present for the 4-year-old daughter that resulted from his affair: ‘He took out this dollar store doll and he told me that was all he could afford for his daughter’
A sad reality of the holiday season is that not every child will be visited by Santa equally. Some kids receive Dudley Dursley-esque quantities of presents, all of which have a fat price tag attached. Other kids will be lucky if they get socks and a cheap toy from the dollar store on the 25th. …
