HI AGAIN I'M THE OP! first off the coat is nonrefundable, and I got him it because we do live in a harsh area and he has to walk to work wearing a million sweatshirts at the moment. second, no he doesn't live with his folks, we live together so in a way it would be for me too but i thought the coat had a more pressing need. third, i had discussed with his sister and his brother in-law that no, i was not getting him a PS3 until his birthday because blistering cold takes precedence over playing games. AND i had said if you really want to get him a game that's fine, but he won't be able to use it til February. THEN his mother called me, and told me about them all buying him games. I said to her on the phone, "I've already bought him a nice coat and was waiting til his birthday for the game system." She then said, "Oh, well I knew that, but we knew you'd probably want to get him the system too since we've all bought him games." One game is okay, but everyone buying him a game makes it look ridiculous and then he'll have all these games and not be able to use them for 2 months. ALSO i don't want to fight with his mother. This is the first Christmas I'm spending with them and on top of it his dad has bone marrow cancer and lymphoma and has chosen to stop his chemotherapy treatments, so this may be the last Christmas they all have as a family. So I'm not going to cause a fight. FINALLY, all you who commented calling me spineless, maybe you should learn to reserve comments like that considering that sometimes you cannot fit all of the story into the text space provided. But I guess your bad behavior must be a product of your upbringing. Very poor manners. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays.

are you ******* stupid? don't but the PS3, keep your coat and give that to him. YDI for thinking you HAD to get him the PS3. tell the bf's mom you didn't get a PS3. your such an idiot.
do not listen to everyone telling you to give him the coat. the time to make a stance was when the mom originally spoke to you. now you've confirmed that you're getting the ps3 and have to stand by it. otherwise you'll just look like a spiteful bitch at christmas. plus, you'll ruin everyone else's gifts and it may not be their fault if they truly believed you were getting it. next time stand up for yourself and tell the truth- it's too late now.
Your BF's parents are people I like to hate.
Sorry, but YDI. I mean it sucks that she just assumed that, but you should have set her straight. You're letting her walk all over you, and if you want to have any kind of future with that man then you need to stand up to her right away. So you just f*ed yourself over.
Okay it was their fault to assume, my guess is they brought the games like idiots before they confirmed with you. They don't have the right to call you up and expect you to have accomedated their assumption so **** them!
Idiot, why are you being manipulated into spending more money on your boyfriend by his parents. Ask them where did they get that idea. And do as you originally decided. Otherwise prepare for a life, manipulated.
I don't think you should fight with the mother especially since this could be your boyfriend's father's last Christmas, but you shouldn't just buy the PS3 by yourself. You should talk to his mom and say that you'd be glad to help THEM buy him a PS3, but it's not your responsibility to buy a gaming system for Christmas when you already bought him an expensive gift and you told her that he wouldn't be getting the PS3 until his birthday. I really think you just need to sit down and talk to her about it. She shouldn't assume like that it is kinda rude of her.

To hell with his family! Give him the coat and let his family look like the dumbasses that they are! This is a turning point in the relationship, if his family learns now that they can control you, they will continue to do so. Take a stand! Merry Christmas!

Did he ask you for it? I am not sure how the mother assumed you were getting it--unless the mother is just a bitch.
Today I had my mom call my girlfriend and convince her to get me a PS3for Christmas. It worked! IMMD.

dude who does she think she is 'assuming' you got him a ps3. FYL
Seems like the simpler solution would have been to, you know, set her straight on the fact that you hadn't bought him a PS3. Either that, or your boyfriend's mom is scheming you to save them from having to buy the PS3 themselves.
