I'll tell you a story from the top to the bottom. My son, gave me a listing of the things he wanted for Christmas, and a XBox360 was on the list along with the games he wanted and other things. My son's father wanted to buy my son some Christmas gifts this year which he never had done before, I shared him the Christmas list that our son wanted for Christmas I informed him that I would be buying him the XBox360, and if he wants to buy the games for the box, for all the means he may, but also told him not to give it to him until he opens the gifts from me, He agreed.

Well, This Christmas morning, he broke that agreement, He stopped over so early in the morning 6 am while everyone else is still sleeping in and gave our son his Christmas gift, My son already suspect that I already got him the XBOX 360 because he got two X Box 360 games from his father without giving my son a chance to opened his gifts from me, my son was so happy, surprised and excited that he woke me up hugged me, and said Thanks!! I was so confused at what's going on, so I asked him did you already opened the Christmas presents from under the tree? His responds was no and that dad was here. I was so disappointment with his father. His father just ruin the true meaning of Christmas. :(
 
That was mean of him. He shouldn't have even been in the house until everyone was up and ready to begin the day. That way, you might have been able to stop him from going back on his word.
 
I know this has a small meaning. I agree he should have waited. Just wanted to point out at least he did say Thanks and gave you a hug.

I'm no where mad at my own son, I just wanted to see his reaction when he opened my gifts. :(
 
That was not nice of your child's dad. He took away the fun of Christmas. I hope he left and allowed you to enjoy the rest of the day with your children.

Yea :( He has no respect however so for doing what he did. I text him and told him how rude he was, and that he ruined the surprise for our son to see the box first before receiving the games. His respond was "Get over it". :(

Yes, He left right after our son opened his gift from his dad. I had no idea he was even here until my son told me.
 
OH bugger, Cheri... dang your kid's dad really a rotten tomato for showing up too early and giving the games to your kid before ya could have him open his main gift which was the XBOX 360.. dang.... he should have waited till ya were up.. and then etc... oy... I'm sorry ya didnt get the effect ya wanted to see with your kid getting the XBOX 360 and then getting the games..
 
That's very rude and disrespectful of your son's father to show up like that and breaking the agreement. I understand how you wanting see your son surprised getting his Xbox from you. I hope you feel better :hug:
 
sound like he is had something on his mind when you asked him not to give it to him before your son open his gift. He sure does have an evil mind that.
 
Cheri,

Look at it this way...this may have been his only opportunity to be the Christmas "hero", and you are the "hero" to your child EVERYDAY. I feel pity for someone who has played such a small role in his own child's life that he felt that was his only way to make an impact.
 
Seems like he wanted the credit for the gifts. That is why he didn't bother to wake you up. Causing you to miss the delightful event of your son recieving something that he really wanted.

Even though your ex is wrong do not let it ruin your Christmas spirit...you have the rest of the evening to spend with your son.
 
Oh my dear! :(

What he did is unfair!!! He is supposing to stick the agreement, he made with you. Its about respect. It shows that he know no respect which is really sad... *shake my head sadly*
 
oh boy that is really jerk of him for breaking agreement with you SCOFFS
i agree with all of them that your ex is not very respectful person
 
Aww sorry to hear that .. He should have to listen and respect to have agreement with you what you already told him for on christmas sheesh at him.... :( :hugs:
 
Certinally He's the huge broke agreement w/you arrangements plans and wait until you giving your son's christmas gift but didn't... He made jump ahead of you first gift to his son before you!
Isn't good treat like you... He's frigg'n no respect afterall.. Btw I do agree w/other comments!

Btw, you can have spend time w/your son and wonderful Christmas together family play along w/the xbox360.

So um, Let you know.. you can let your son know.. he can find my son's screen name is rikerw your son can play w/him on line... He loves play Halo3, and others.. I cannot remmy so several many different games..
 
Hi Cheri, I am sorry about that. I think your ex is so jerk. I was wondering did your ex came in your house during you sleep? This is creep if he did. I just suggest you to take xbox360 to store to get refund and buy games. Up to you. Hugs from me
 
Cheri, I'm sorry about what happened on christmas morning by your ex. He is very unrespectful for giving your son a present first before yours. Where is his manners for coming early in the morning? He should have to wait until everyone are up. Apart from that, I am sure your son is a very happy boy for getting a bigger gift from you. ;)
 
Problem solved: Have your ex arrested for breaking and entering. Afterall he did come into your house without permission. :giggle:
