I saw a report on TV today about a woman who was posting pictures of the 300 gifts under her tree, all purchased for her children because she loves them so much. Seems a little excessive to me but I never heard how many children she has. If she has say 30 kids that's only 10 each. I'm pretty sure two of my grandchildren, because of divorced parents and multiple sets of grandparents, end up with about that many gifts each year.
Then I heard an update on the brat who got off with a very minimum sentence for driving drunk and killing four people. His defense was "affluenza" - having way too much money and overindulgent parents who never taught him right from wrong. Poor, poor thing. He has recently violated terms of his parole and he and his loving mommy have disappeared, presumably to Mexico, to avoid having him hauled back into court.
I'm thinking that mommy number one should take a hard look at the mess mommy number two and her son are in and perhaps rethink the overindulgence.
I'm also wondering, as I work on gift wrapping tonight, how she possibly found time to wrap 300 gifts and whose going to clean up the mess on Christmas morning. Perhaps they'll just leave the muddle and move into a new house.
