Seth brags about his stuff, mocks other people’s things, and acts like the world revolves around his whims.

He talks down to Wesley, criticizes everything in my house, and treats me like a servant when he visits. The worst part? Meredith just laughs it off or makes excuses for him.

Still, because I wanted to be generous and since Seth’s birthday was just days away, I made a big gesture. I bought Seth the same gaming system I got for Wesley.

It cost another chunk of my savings, but I thought it would make both boys happy and maybe bring our families closer.

Yesterday was supposed to be a perfect day.
