Oh hey, it’s my childhood

Here’s my naive and privileged ass thinking they broke the news about Santa Claus to prevent having to do Christmas twice.

Sorry to everyone who had to endure their parents divorce. ♥️

This hits the feels. I was 15 when my parents divorced. I was crushed. My younger sister however, was giddy. Not because she thought the divorce was cool, but because her best friend told her that after her parents divorced, she got 2 really amazing christmases with expensive gifts that tried to outshine the other parent. Oh, but not us… we were poor. Reality hit next year for her, when my mom couldn’t afford food, let alone gifts.

as a child of not divorce but it was normal for parents to be so cold to each other and towards their children, I was confused until your comment.

when I realized I had a good laugh, then realized how fucked I am by not realizing it sooner.
