Just wanted to see how YOUR sitch has been going lately. Maybe a glimpse into my future?
You do seem to be doing so well. I wish I could have my girls full time, but I'll take the 50/50. Could be worse, I suppose.
You know, I grew up with Santa bringing unwrapped toys. Of course, the gifts directly from mom and dad were wrapped and usually given on Christmas eve, with the rest of the family gathering.
On Christmas morning, stuff out of the packages and not wrapped. Besides, to me, the kids would figure out sooner that they may have recognized the wrapping paper.
And easier for me in the long run. No wrapping, but hiding and getting rid of the packaging posed a little bit different issue.
I got the wife a gift too. I didn't expect one from her, and she didn't disappoint. It wasn't meant to make her feel bad. She accepted it, with a little guilty face, but she accepted it. I wouldn't know how to bring it up at this point. Better left alone, I suppose. It was given in love, nothing else.
And Happy belated to your little one, too.
