Spoiling Gigi
I wish I could buy my daughter every toy, book, and movie she asked for. Quite simply, though, it’s not possible ion my budget. Plus, I don’t want to raise a spoiled kid. When I was still married, we indulged her way too often. I still give in more than I should, but despite the fact that her father makes about 10x what I make on an annual basis, he would still prefer to spend his money on jewelry for his girlfriend, new games for his Xbox 360, and a new billet grille for his car. Gigi has very few toys at her father’s house. And, apparently the ones I left behind for her to play with when she was with her dad, he tossed out in the trash when he moved back into the house. I have no reasonable explanation for that move.
Gigi will get a lot under the Christmas tree, but I will not have spent too much money. I love the sales at Target where I can get things at 90% after Halloween, Christmas, Easter, and other seasonal holidays. I put the things away in the gift closet and bring them out for Christmas. I finished the last of my shopping this morning by going to a couple of the Black Friday sales. Gigi will feel like a very lucky little girl and I will still be able to pay my bills.
