exactly this! just because Tillie has reached an age where she doesn't want lego or toys, but isn't yet interested in make-up etc - there are so many potential advent calendars aimed at pre-teens/tweens. bath bombs, fidget toys/slime, a stationery one - smiggle, paperchase etc - ones with science experiments or crafts or pizzles, lipbalms or nail varnish. just like Sue, i don't know anything about Tillie's interests - but surely she could have asked, instead of taking Tillie's comment that she didn't want a lego one as a way to put in absolutely zero effort and just grab a chocolate one. obvs there is nothing wrong with chocolate advent calendars - i would never have expected more than a basic kinnerton one, dairy milk if we were super lucky - and i appreciate that Tillie's was a more expensive "luxury" chocolate one, but it hardly compares to the £100s spent on her older sisters - especially when she then sees them being taken to New York! poor Tillie just feel incredibly left out and totally overlooked. all Sue had to do was put a few minutes of effort into talking to her daughter and asking what she's interested in, but she simply couldn't be bothered. but yeah, she definitely deserves a "best mum if the year" award.
