This is something that had me wondering today.....

I read somewhere (and I can't find it now) that this woman had either 4 or 5 children who all had a different father.

Well, the father of one of the children provided the money for a PS5 for their child so that the mother could buy a PS5 for that particular child for Christmas.

Instead of buying the PS5 for that particular child, she split up the money in order to buy Christmas presents for all her children instead.

Do you think what the mother did was right or fair? Should the mother have bought the PS5 for the one child? Or do you think the mother did the right thing by buying Christmas presents for all of her children?
 
Yeah I believe what she did was right its her choice as she is the parent adult in what she wants to spends her money on
 
Ugh, woman sounds like a gold digger first and foremost.

For the family she is raising, it is fair as it would cause issues at Christmas time no doubt. But, she failed to use the money what it was supposed to be used for and that's going to land her in a lot of trouble with that kid's father.
 
It’s not really a cut and dry story. On one hand, the dad should have just bought the PS5 instead of giving the mother the money to buy it.

On the other hand, it’s a bit sleazy when someone gives you money to buy something, and you spend it on something else. It can also cause distrust in the future when money comes up.
 
I think the mother could of told the truth to her father of one of her children before spliting up the money to all the children, and ask if the father agrees before splitting up the money.

The father could of just bought the PS5, and gave it to his child.
 
I thought the father could have bought the PS5 himself and given it to his child for Christmas. Now, if the mother is afraid of that being fair or unfair to her other children.....well then I figure that the father could keep the PS5 at his house and his child could just play the console there (assuming that the father gets regular visits with his child) so there isn't really a whole lot the mother can do about it at that point.

But I really think that the mother should have been honest about what she was going to do with the money before she did it. This particular father is only responsible for one of those children and not all of them. Because of that one fact, it should have been discussed before hand what she was to do with the money. If the father was unsure that she was going to follow through with it, then the father could have just bought the PS5 for his child and then let his child keep it at their mother's house.

I'm not trying to be unfair to the other children that belong to this mother. But the father is only legally responsible for the one child that is his.....he's not responsible for any of the other children. She should seek out who is responsible for her other children if she expects her other children to get the same (or similar) for Christmas.
 
Is it some kind of legal payment like child support money? Then he has no say in how she spends it. If it's money specifically for a PS5, then yes she is in the wrong. BUT if she's struggling with finances then that again somewhat justifies the way she spent it. If he gave a PS5 directly it would have been a non issue instead of something fungible. Giving money itself is a low key go ahead signal to spend it however you want.
 
This can be touchy. A woman shouldn't have as many kids with as many fathers.
I give Kudos to the dad trying to the right thing. Not fair to the other kids? I agree with that but it's also not fair they are growing up in this environment.
The gift is from the dad to HIS child & should not have been split. It's making the mom look good & the dad to look like the loser.
The woman really needs to rethink her life!
 
The more important question is why did she choose to have kids by 5 different dudes? That sounds like shes trying to rip off the govt if anything else.
