Teen’s Christmas Gift Choices Ignite Family Firestorm

In a classic tale of family drama, a 15-year-old girl’s choice of Christmas gifts for her dad, stepmom, and stepsiblings has sparked a heated debate. Despite her generous weekly allowance from her mom, her dad was disappointed by the disparity between the gifts she gave her friends and those she gave his new family. He accused her of being privileged and suggested she should be more generous, especially given the financial strain he’s under post-divorce. The girl, however, feels it’s wrong to spend her mom’s money on her dad’s new family. As the holiday season continues, it seems this family’s Christmas tree isn’t the only thing heating up.
