We also stopped by Jackie's the other day (don't ask). Lilly was finally able to open the presents that Jackie has been using to upset her in an attempt to manipulate me into letting her have Lilly. I mean, who tells a four year old that she has a tons of presents that she can't have unless "Mommy lets her come over to Grandma's house"? And then, when Mommy does finally let her go over and open her presents, she isn't allowed to bring any of them home but "you can come over and play with them whenever Mommy lets you". If she truly cared about Lilly having the gifts (the majority of which was from other people) then it wouldn't matter WHERE Lilly had them at! She did allow Lilly to 'borrow' one of her presents that she has to 'return' as soon as she sees Jackie again. It was a guitar that matches the one that her Bratz baby (that she was NOT allowed to bring home) had. Lilly does love it, so I'm considering buying it for her myself, so she can at least HAVE her presents, since that is what truly matters, not using a child's gifts to manipulate people into getting what you want. Anyways, Lilly loves the Bratz guitar and is rocking out with it constantly.
(The new nightgown that Lilly is wearing is from one of her aunts on that side of the family, it is also on 'loan'. Lilly is required to return that as well.)
Ah... the joys that 'the others' bring into our lives...
