My 16 year old son Devin and my 13 year old stepdaughter are both such good kids. They really deserve to get at least one gift each for Christmas. My younger Alyssa, who is 5, is going to have plenty of presents thanks to the kindness of people on Reddit. I don’t want the teenagers to feel left out because I am struggling financially. I just escaped an abusive relationship and if has just been a very tough year for all of us. It’s difficult to put food on the table everyday let alone buy gifts. I would be grateful if they had at least one gift each on Christmas morning.
Devin, 16, is my first child and has been through a lot in his life. He has grown into a responsible young man despite his nervousness and anxiety. He has suffered from anxiety since he was young. He copes by listening to music, playing video games, and making YouTube videos with his friends. He has a job and a car already! I’m so proud of him. I see him feeling a little jealous over all the attention his little sister gets from people and I don’t want him to feel that way, especially on Christmas. My mom always buys more for my daughter than Devin. She says that he doesn’t deserve gifts because he doesn’t come visit her. He is a teenager who would rather hang out with his friends than us old people! I don’t take it personally because I understand that he is busy doing his own things. I just want to see him happy on Christmas morning. Teenagers are kids too! Here is a picture of Devin.
Alyssa, 13, is my stepdaughter who we refer to as “big Alyssa” because of my 5 year old daughter Alyssa. Yes! I have 2 Alyssa’s! It’s confusing sometimes but I love them the same. She is 13 but is just a big kid! She loves to play with toys just like little Alyssa. She is super into arts and crafts and doing her nails. Both Alyssa’s are budding artists and I am looking for activities for them to do together. I would love to have a gift for Alyssa to open from me on Christmas so that she doesn’t feel left out. I want her to feel like she is one of my children because she is! She is so kind and thoughtful and deserves a good Christmas too!
In short, I want the teenagers to have a good Christmas, and not feel left out when they see their little sister getting gifts. Both of them are still children and deserve to experience the magic of Christmas. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I will pay it forward when I am financially able. Thank you and Happy Holidays!
