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.

Rude of them to ASSUME like that.
don't be a bitch get him what he wants not what you think he needs. Hell why don't you just wrap up the electric bill and say "see honey I got you the gift you wanted HEAT." his whole family knows he wants a ps3 and you want to prove a point and not get it for him or piss and moan about have to get it. You know your life is not F!@#ed, you are an insecure bitch who is worried that the ps3 will take time away from your needs. Or i could be wrong in which case **** him and his mother.
Seriously? That's dumb. I want a lot of things, does that mean I should get them? It would be awesome to get a PS3 (and a pony, and a car, and diamond earrings, and, and, and...) but getting something I need is much more personalized and thoughtful than getting the latest electronic bling. "Hi honey, I walked into Radio Shack and bought you the first thing I saw." Great. Plus? Not having a coat, is kind of more important than having a PS3. Plus x2? Looking at your beloved coat that your beloved ex got you is much more painful and stinging to your heart than playing the PS3 that the last bitch you ****** got you. There is clearly an emotional difference, and if you want us to seem like bitches? Yeah, passive-aggressive... we got it.
#100 you need to lay off the crack, it's affecting you.
I have a feeling toast41 had a girlfriend leave him because he spent all his time playing his ps3 and is really bitter about it.
I wouldve been like: I got him a coat DOUSHEBAGS!

Don't show up :) Three hours later... "Here is the 30 games we bought you for Christmas!" "How will I play them?" "Uh....do you mind buying a PS3 for yourself?"
I can't believe no one has suggested the best answer yet....Ask Santa to get it for him....Then it's Santa's fault, you aren't spineless and the in-laws won't hate you. C'mon people.

His family is wrong for assuming that you're getting him a PS3, unless you already put out the forethought. On Christmas morning, just give him your present, and when he opens it and says, "Wow! A coat! I really needed this!" or comments on how nice the coat is, and his family says, "I thought you were getting him a PS3?", just say, "PS3? Who said I was getting him a PS3? I bought him a coat. What are YOU gonna do?"
Don't do that. Just give him the coat, and his family will look like the fools they are for buying games without checking you were actually getting a PS3. If the family tries to make you feel guilty, just say plain and simply "I can't afford a PS3. I've already paid for a present for him." They can't hold that against you. And even if the OP had suggested she *might* get him a PS3 for Christmas, his family still should have double-checked that she actually DID, seeing as their presents DEPEND on her getting him one. Or perhaps his family could keep the games for his birthday, and buy him a PS3 for Christmas??
oh and to everyone bagging out the OP for buying a coat: some guys are practical and like practical gifts. Or, if he lives in a cold place and his other jackets are worn out or something, he may really love getting a new one. And some guys like clothes. There are plenty of guys out there who'd love to get a new coat.

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.
