My son has a PSP. I got him 2 games for it. He lost his charger. I ordered a new charger from ebay. Has yet to come in. My GF got her son a PSP and 2 games. He lives with his dad and won't be here until tomorrow. His is still wrapped. Here's the issue at hand, I asked her if she would unwrap her son's PSP so I could charge my son's PSP. She flat out refused. IMO, I think she is being completely unreasonable. Maybe I am. What say you?

Not worth arguing about on either side.

She should let you extract the charger.

You should let it drop.

Just not worth disagreeing over.

Maybe the new charger will arrive in the mail tomorrow.

welcome to the real world of g-friends and their daughters and sons.
I'm in the same boat. Doesn't matter what u do. It's a loose-loose situation.

Hmm, son lost his charger, so to teach him a lesson you should let it go. Besides, it's only one more day. Nobody is being unreasonable, in the essence of Christmas, she doesn't want to disturb an unwrapped present meant for someone else(BAD LUCK). Just like I won't mess around with a girl if her present (my D) isn't wrapped.

Don't unwrap one kid's present because another kid screwed up. The pain of not getting Grand Theft Auto for a day will teach him to take care of his stuff. You should probably beat him for losing it, too.

Quick question...

If it is opened, you use the charger, and it's re-wrapped... will it be obvious that it's been opened before?

Nobody likes that. (those plastic blister packs, for example... there's no faking that.)

In general, though.. I think she has the moral high ground on this one.

But I think she's right this time.

When you both have a kid (or kids) it's just more issues and more people who might not get along. And when it comes down to it, human nature says you side with your own.

I dated a girl who had a son for a long while. His rules were different than my boy's rules. (because "he was used to being spoiled") Tough to explain that to your own kids. They ask how it's fair, and you can't answer... because you know deep down that it isn't.

Anyway, best of luck to you BCD. It's tough to get two personalities to mesh, let alone two families.

Agreed, except for the whole beating thing. I know he's just a kid, but think about how you would feel unwrapping a present that had already been opened.

Raising children is another. You're right that they like it. They respect it. But when things start getting a little serious, it's a huge complication. It's completely understandable.

Since you asked. I think you're in the wrong on this one man.

Your son lost his charger so that's on him and she doesn't want her son to get a "used" (although it'd be fine) gift... I get that.

Maybe him exercising a little patience would be a good thing?

I'm with her on this one. Sorry.

There has to be a kick her to the curb option here.

YOUR KID NEEDS HIS PSP ON XMAS!!!!!! And you do whatever it takes to make his Xmas one he wont ever forget. THIS IS THE ONE!!!! Here's your chance to tell your GF her opinion doesn't matter and that you have the dick you make the rules and she makes the god damn food.

If she doesn't like it kick her to the curb, but make sure first you got the charger from her.

If she doesn't like that and threatens to tell the cops because you stole something from her better get out your shovel a couple blankets (bed conforter would be best IMO), rope and a Snickers bar, (snickers bar is in case you get hungry, you gotta long ways of driving to drop off the bodies.)

Get rid of evidence.

There ya have it. Piece of cake and a Merry Christmas to you!!!

You are both being unreasonable.

It's unreasonable for you to EXPECT her to fix your son's irresponsibility. You may not want her to expect the same from you.

It is unreasonable for her to be inflexible because if the shoe were on the other foot she might want your help.

Iowanian
12-26-2008, 07:43 AM
You're both being unreasonable, but I'm saying its probably 70-30 you on this one.

Her kid shouldn't be made to think he has a "hand me down" because your kid made the mistake. A day may seem like forever but its not.




Maybe someday, we'll all have life figured out as well as BWilli.

I'm with the people who think your son, who screwed up by losing his charger, should have to wait to charge his psp and her son, who hasn't screwed up in any relevant way, ought to get an unopened Christmas present. If it were a simple matter to open the package and then rewrap it in a way that her kid would never know, it seems like it might be a nice thing for her to be willing to do it, but if I were you I'd probably want to teach my kid a lesson anyway and this is a perfect time to do it.

I had it out, playing with it myself. She knew this. I told her I was doing this to make sure it worked, and that it was fully charged for him to enjoy right away. Its a moot point now. We both apologized to one another, and I told my son he'd have to wait.

Bob Dole thinks that you ought to sell both the PSPs and the games and gives the kids the empty boxes to play with.

They'll be better people for it in the long run.
