Holiday dinners are usually about warm plans and small talk. But in Diana’s family, one line about a Christmas gift sets off a big fight. You can expect a surprise decision from her husband and stepdaughter and holiday plans that feel more like a punishment than a celebration.
My husband has two kids from his previous marriage: Lea and Ben. Lea lives with us full-time. Ben doesn’t.When my husband and I moved in together, Ben was already a teen, and he never adjusted to the new setup. He fought a lot with us, skipped school, and was very rude to me pretty much from day one. Then he said he wanted to live with his mom full-time, and my husband let him go. Ben still visits sometimes.At dinner a few nights ago, we were talking about Christmas plans and gifts. I said that I’m not going to buy Ben a Christmas gift, as he isn’t family
