And no, it doesnt sound like your average, run of the mill Christmas.
The twins wanted a Nintendo Switch for Christmas, while the elder one wanted an iPad Pro.
So, she had to compromise.
The little ones got their Switch, but the 16-year-old was given a Samsung alternative.
Come Christmas day and the elder daughter is not happy.
She throws a fit, according to the mom, and exhaustion kicks in.
It all ended in a teary falling out, followed by the returning of gifts.
Oh, and alsoa posting online.
Why wasnt he in the spotlight?
And there were also those who argued that siding with the kid just because is just dumb.
If anything, this was a great lesson for someone whos ungrateful and spoiled.

What the mom did right, though, wasshe tried to manage expectations.
Once the kid has calmed down, point out the true meaning of the holidays and what truly matters.
And you know what matters?
