We loaded up the car so full you would have thought it was Santa's sleigh. I bought so many things for all 3 kids. Mikey made out like a little bandit. He got the cutest toys and he loved them! Thankfully 16 month olds cant be particularly bratty even if their parents are! Probably because he isnt talking yet.
The girls got along reasonably well as long as Keyana did what Hailie wanted her to do. When she didnt, well then all heck broke loose and attitude came out and neither one was happy.
I am getting really tired of Billie. Really.
We had all the presents we brought wrapped or in gift bags. They waited to wrap their stuff until Xmas eve after the kids went to sleep. Ok. Well, Jamie started wrapping stuff while Billie was getting the kids to sleep...plus he was putting stockings together. Great. Billie comes down and pulls out 6 of these $5 My Little Pony sets. Jamie looks at her and says "hand me a couple of those and I will wrap them up for Keyana." She says..."Oh no, all of these are for Hailie. See...this one has the blue and pink one, this one has the pink and purple one, this one has the purple and blue one...blah blah blah." Jamie flat out said to her "Look, there are six sets. Hailie is not getting SIX of those sets and Keyana is getting NONE of them!" Hailie doesnt NEED six sets! She already has a ton of them anyway!"
Billie starts to get witchy and Jamie told her either she gives Keyana at least two of them or Jamie was gonna toss all six. So reluctantly Billie lets him wrap two of the boxed sets up for Keyana.
Well, on Xmas morning, Keyana opens her sets and was happy as can be. She set them up on her little pile, gave her aunt and uncle a big kiss, said thank you.
Well...a little later as we were picking up the trash and open boxes, Billie hauls all Hailies presents upstairs. Keyana's stuff was the only stuff left downstairs...oh hers and Mikeys. Well...guess what was missing? The My Little Pony sets!
When we got all of Keyana's stuff ready to leave on Sunday, no one could find ANY My Little Pony sets at all! My My My! And Billie wasnt home so no one could ask her. So Hailie gave her a Barbie Mermaid doll that was a present from a friend of the family that Hailie hadnt even taken out of the box yet she cared so little about it. Not to mention Hailie got 8 Barbie's this Xmas! 3 from me alone. I gave Hailie 3 Barbie's and a Barbie convertible car.
Well...we get about an hour away from leaving their house and we get a phone call. We can hear Billie screaming bloody murder in the background how we stole a mermaid doll! Jamie asks me how many mermaid dolls did we take with us? I said one. Hailie gave Keyana the one in the package from Earl.
He says, thats what I thought. He hung up.
About a half hour later...Billie calls me on Jamie's cell phone. More of the same...Are you sure...Hailie is screaming, she is freaking out, she cant find her Mermaid doll, she wants it back. Why would she give it to you? Im like...ask Jamie. Keyana has the one Mermaid doll.
You have no idea how badly I wanted to tell her...go buy her 8 more Mermaid dolls with the $40 you owe me.
And we all do know that Hailie probably didnt even notice she was missing a stupid Mermaid doll until her mother came home and started taking inventory to see if we had stolen anything from them! I am willing to bet that we left something up there. We always do. Do I freak out and say that they kept it out of reach so we couldnt find it in time for us to leave? NO!
Have I sued her for the check? NO! I could though. Maybe I should.
PS: Oh...and just to show how dumb she is...as she found stuff that she forgot to put out for Hailie for Xmas, she would bring it out on Sunday morning and say...oh Look Hailie, Santa came again and left this here, and look here is something else, and something else. On and on...about three or 4 times. Just ticked me off. We were leaving in just a little while. Couldnt she wait? Dont you know that you just dont do that to kids? How would she feel if we had her and her kids down here and we did that to them? She did the same thing to Keyana at Hailies first birthday. And that was really bad because Keyana was only 2. She really didnt get it. Hailie got like 30 presents and no one even thought to get Keyana a few dollar store things...not even a balloon. I always had stuff for all the boys on each of their birthdays. Not like what the main one got but at least they got a prize bag.
