That is even worse!

That is awful Spring! Purposely setting sd up for disappointment. That is what Susan doesn't get. When a child gives a gift, THEY are more excited than the gift getter! No matter what we told sson (including we would all go exchange it for something we could share together and that my husband had "lost" his copy...) made it better. She set him up to be disappointed when he saw the book, not my husband.
She has done little things like that before. Like before football practice, she took them for snacks on her weekend. Sson asked to buy dad something with his money from his allowance here and she suggested an item with something in it my husband has ALWAYS hated and is allegric to. My husband couldn't even PRETEND to eat it because he would get sick.
Or the time I gave sd money to buy lunch for all the skids (we were at a tournament and BM offered to drive over). I have a heart condition and I told sd a salad (fast food is a killer for me...literally). SD, who was 6 at the time, forgot and BM reminded her I wanted a Quarter Pounder with cheese and fries. NO ONE ordered that and BM is well aware of my heart condition.
The more I think about this, the more likely this was planned. Susan doesn't get that the rules change when you remarry and everyone has to be sensitive to that.
