Gabriel's gifts
Desiree: I heard you were planning to get Sage a Playstation 4 for Christmas. Does that mean that Gabriel can bring his back to Phoenix? Or does he still have to live as though he has two minimum wage parents? Fox
Gabriel has 3 video game consuls in his room, that's plenty. He had 4, but he lost one of them - that's on him. It's not about cost. Shouldn't matter though, Gabriel has already stated that he thinks the XBox is better and he has 2 of those.
But you told Gabriel to choose which one he wanted to keep in his room and he chose the Xbox One and you took the other two away from him and put them somewhere and he can't use them. Therefore, he only has one. Why are you taking away from him the gifts that I've provided him? Are you selling them to pay for meth? Dude! What kind of mother does that? And how did that work out for you, taking away the consoles? Did you get the intended outcome of Gabriel wanting to spend more time with you and Sage? Are you starting to get the impression that he just isn't one of you? Anyway, it's not how many consoles someone has that matters, it's how many games they have. If he has 4 consoles but only one game for each; or if he has one console but 25 games for it; which do you think is more relevant? I think your logic is a little backward. It would make more sense to let him have as many consoles as he wants but limit the number of games he can have. But I guess logic and reason are your strong points, huh? Fox
Good morning, Desiree. I'm not sure you have the right to take away gifts which I provide to Gabriel and hide them away somewhere. If you are going to do so, I strongly recommend you send them back to me. I'm speaking, of course, from a legal persepctive. I insist you either give them back to Gabriel or send them back to me. May you, also, please explain what "that's on him" means? I'm not familiar with the term. I tried to look it up but it seems it's some kind of colloquialism, common primarily amongst the lower echelons of society. In that respect, it does seem appropriate for you to use it. Does it mean "it's his responsibility"? Or "it's his fault"? And, if that's the case, it seems obtuse that you would state it's Gabriel's responsibility or fault that he lost the item in question, but you refuse to allow him to be responsible and rectify the situation by replacing the stolen item. And much more so, how can you say it's his fault that something was stolen from him? Surely, that can't be the intended meaning of idiom - then again, it IS you. Please clarify. Thanks. Fox
