Teen’s Christmas Meltdown Over PS4 Instead of PS5

We all know that Christmas is a time for giving, but what happens when the gift doesn’t meet the recipient’s expectations? One mom thought she was doing something special for her 14-year-old son, Jr, by surprising him with a PS4 Pro and a couple of games he likes. Little did she know, her son had his heart set on the elusive PS5 and was anything but grateful for the gift.
