Knowing Jack and her love of branded shite, her head was probably turned by that rusty Rolex spoon that she lied about and said was free

I thought she got it from her parents? Must have missed it if she later confirmed otherwise.
The switch thing also made me feel a bit sad for SB, after what she wrote about his presents it sounds like she infantilises him and chooses gifts based on what she wants him to have rather than what he actually wants.
I had a bit of a windfall a few years ago (muddy puddle) and I wanted to invest it into something tangible rather than just absorbing it so had bit of work done on the house , had our first family holiday (minibreak - shitty bungalow vibes, she LEFT, arthritic hands etc ) out of the UK and for Christmas that year I treated the kids to a games console.
In my youth I'd been a massive gamer but hadn't picked up a controller in probably 20+ years.
I didn't want to get it wrong so did my obsessional style research and lots of the switch reviews was that it's a more suitable console for younger kids and has limited appeal for them and kids would grow out of it quite quickly (my kids are similar age to SB )
So I bought an Xbox based on the reviews (kicking myself ever since that I didn't get a PlayStation so I could play too
So I wonder if he was given any choice in the console? It may be that he asked for it but most kids of his age that I know would definitely have asked for PS or Xbox

Am not familiar with Reddit. Delete?
I’m not moderating you, you might want to spoiler it? It’s not too offensive (considering where it came from) although it’s a bit like reposting something from Britain First or whatever the far right are calling themselves

Am too late to spoiler. Lesson learned, dear Hotes, lesson learned.

Scuttled off to Reddit to try and find what had occurred last Summer but found this instead. Five years old.

Thank you, Mods.

Just be thankful she’s not buying original game boys and wanting on about showing SB Tetris

@colouredlines is bang on. Pointing out the truth or providing evidence or lifting the curtain on this will only make people cross. It's spoiling a sort of game that everyone is willingly participating in. Just like sali hughes fangirls don't want to admit to themselves that she isn't their super down to earth no nonsense hardworking mum and bossing it glamorous gal pal and trusted adviser jms squigs are very invested in a false version of her. So it's sunk cost fallacy. We're spoiling things if we say hang on.

There's a 'not my circus, not my monkeys' sound trending on TikTok at the minute and I just wanted to say come on Jack! This is your chance for your big TikTok debut! (She still has 339 followers 🥲)

My brain is really struggling to keep up at the moment. I can't seem to work out how decluttering the kitchen transitioned seamlessly into seven boxes of MancBee nightmare fuel.
Did I miss something?
Or have we just hurtled through makeup, black clothes and depression as January Jack's Identity into a cutlery based intermission prior to the next version?
