I've been fuming over this since Sunday and only now feel calm enough to blog about it.
The boys had been telling us for months that Cruella was buying a shared Christmas gift for them and Randall's two children - she had told them that they were having Guitar Hero* for the PS3* - The one with the guitar, Drum kit and microphone. That was their main gift as the family had just bought a new 50" Plasma TV for the lounge (they were lucky enough to get a free LCD 19" TV in the bargain).
So Christmas eve comes and the boys were with Cruella, they opened their present and low and behold it's Guitar Hero. They have a few other stocking fillers and are generally happy boys. They were with us Christmas day and Charlie spend most of the morning checking his mobile - he had text Cruella to enquire what gifts Randall's Children had recieved but never got a reply.
So the boys returned on Sunday and I was horrified when they blurted out that although they had been given the Guitar Hero* - it was expected that they share it with the other two. Fine, it's good to share. But tell me how Randall's daughter is going to share HER PSP (£160) and his son share HIS mobile phone (about the same price)?
Is it just me, or are they way out of order on this? I am gutted that the boys have been given something thatis obviously meant for all 4 kids, and yet the other two have very individual gifts.
Oh, hang on - I forgot that they boys were also given the Free LCD TV as a gift between them!

hum...i dont' know what to say. i spend painstaking hours ensuring that each of our 4 children have the same number of packages to open. I just can imagine.
That is really wrong.
Just me, I Get exactly what you are saying. We spent way more on the boys' presents this year than we did on the girls - simply because we got most of the toys for the girls in the sale & there is only so much plastic you can have in one house!
If anything I go opver the top to rty to make sure the boys never feel left out or undervalued - I guess that's the difference between Cruella & I!
That's dumb, have the kids said anything about it to you about how it's not realistically right? I think if anyone got kind of jipped in our family it was Younger Boy, but that's because he's 3 and just not quite ready for a magazine subscription.
