December Bonus Full Episode -- AUDIO
Added 2022-12-18 00:50:24 +0000 UTCHolidays are roughhh and especially for these people. The story that resonated with me the most is clearly the 2nd one, but what one really had you going through moral struggles or getting mad?

Justin’s take on the last story is baffling. A kid shouldn’t have autonomy? That’s literally their arrangement, and it’s a fair one.

2024-09-28 17:42:42 +0000 UTCOP in the last story: We have this great arrangement where my son gets to pick who he spends the holidays with. Also OP: I’m upset that my son chose where to spend the holidays because it isn’t with me

2024-07-06 15:31:01 +0000 UTCRelistening to the stories. I would like to add that it depends on the culture. In my culture, Christmas Eve is a bigger holiday than Christmas Day. So when my Aunt and Uncle split, my Aunt being of my culture and my ex-Uncle being American. They split it the Holidays and Eve. Because for my ex-uncle and his family Christmas Day was way more important for them. So it worked out. And it was the same thing for all other Holidays. My family always spent Christmas Eve and Easter Eve as a huge holiday celebration while it was the opposite here in America.

2024-05-09 17:37:51 +0000 UTCIt makes me so sad that all these kids are being left out because the adults in their life can’t put their own issues aside for one day. 1) if the OPs mom want to do custom stockings so bad she can take them down the one day the kid is there and buy cheaper stockings so they can all decorate their own together. This will make a fun activity and everyone is included. 2) everyone sucks. OP is buying all the presents for everyone’s kids. Why can’t everyone who is saving money from this pitch in 20-30 each to give the kid a few things to open. They aren’t even buying the majority of their own kids presents (saving tons of money) who are they to tell OP they have to buy all the presents for the nephew. However, I do think if no one is going to contribute then OP should take one item from every other kids list and give it to the nephew. Last story) Mom, new husband and his family are selfish! They don’t have to cut out all of their “traditional food”, just make stuff the kid can eat and make enough for everyone so the kid feels included. This will show him people care, accept and want to include him. They are MARRIED so he is equally their family too. I’m sure whatever he eats they can all eat too. They all treat son poorly then mom expects him to choose to be around them when she gave him the choice not to be. Then guilt trips him because she didn’t actually want him to choose his dad over her. if she didn’t want him to choose she never should have given him the opens and implemented a strict mom days/dad days. Kids should never have this on their shoulders. The mom needs to suck it up, realize she is the reason he doesn’t want to be around them because no one has his back. Kids don’t choose for their parents to get divorced and have separate holidays. It’s hard enough being a child of divorce and she’s pushing him away because she can’t put her own feelings aside and deal with the consequences of her own actions.

2024-04-21 03:35:52 +0000 UTClol, the first story. We buy all our employees’ kids AND pets something small for Christmas at my family company. Even if it’s not perfect, we just want our employees to know we love them and they have someone in their corner during a really tough season! That custom stocking could truly be something that kid may hang onto forever

2024-02-25 21:02:02 +0000 UTCWith my parents one had us on Christmas Eve and Christmas morning and the other had us Christmas afternoon thru new years. It switched every year
Abby
2024-02-08 23:35:23 +0000 UTCLmao no, the second op is not an asshole. He shouldn't be responsible for getting gifts for a stranger. He shouldn't have to avoid his entire family just so he doesn't have to give gifts. His parents and the other family could have given the kid presents.

2024-01-17 20:05:56 +0000 UTCI just want to say thank you to Jerry for sharing your big loving father's heart. The way you can barely contain yourself when people are doing bullshit that's so obviously hurtful to kids is ❤️❤️❤️❤️.

2023-11-22 02:08:10 +0000 UTCYou definitely said 6 at first not 16. I totally was with Justin on that. But at 16 a kid should be able to pick and if he was with the mom last year no matter if it sucked or not then it's totally fair he goes with his dad this year.

2023-06-24 03:31:49 +0000 UTCJustin: “cute 😑” I’ve never resonated with Justin more than this episode
Kelsey Burnham
2023-03-14 21:17:25 +0000 UTCIn the last one, I interpreted that the mom was calling the kid and father out for acting like everything was normal and not bringing up that the two of them were leaving on a trip out of town together. It sounded like that was what got her worked up, not being in the loop. This can also fall back onto her for assuming that he was spending Christmas with her. Sounds like a load of communication issues.

2022-12-28 17:08:38 +0000 UTCI am obsessed with your show! I was looking for a good show like yours and I found one called “Talk Toxic to Me” and they use a lot of ur same stories and even signs off like you and Justin. Makes me cringe so hard and annoyed for you guys. Does this make me an asshole?? 🙈🙈🤨🤨

Carissa
2022-12-23 08:58:53 +0000 UTCLiterally. It was sprung on him last minute after the mother had already had the kid write it. If anything, they should do a seperate party. Or Atleast have the other families help but the gift
Ashley
2022-12-21 14:17:02 +0000 UTCLiterally no one should leave the child out. Why is it so outrageous for everyone else to just help buy the kid gifts? Doesn’t have to be the same price. Why is it only on the op’s shoulders just cuz he has money
Ashley
2022-12-21 14:16:04 +0000 UTCHonestly, I don't think in the 2nd story OP had any obligation to get any gifts for his nephew. Was it the nice thing to do? Yes, but if grandma wanted to make him included there where other options that didn't put everything on OP. Grandma, the parents and other siblings could have chipped in and since all the gifts were from Santa anyway the nephew wouldn't ever know the difference. I might feel differently if anyone would have asked OP before putting him in this awkward situation. I agree that he shouldn't continue this tradition after this year if his family feels okay blindsiding him like this. All the adult would have known prior that he was no contact with his older brother and didn't bother to inform OP that said brother would be in attendance. Good for OP doing a nice thing for his family but OP's family sucks.

2022-12-21 10:33:26 +0000 UTCI was also with Justin!!! I got sooo confused that this kid was 6 coming out with those big words 😆

2022-12-20 19:23:21 +0000 UTCThe amount of restraint I'm harnessing to wait for the video version. Reading everyones comments, it seems like a good episode (they all are) but I'm excited for this one!!

2022-12-20 10:00:23 +0000 UTChahaha omg nooooo. I'm the reason he got so messed up. Now I feel bad

2022-12-20 06:52:40 +0000 UTCi literally had to rewind to confirm she did indeed say 6! thought i was going crazy lmao But she 100% said 6!
Radia DeLuna
2022-12-19 19:14:23 +0000 UTCI was with Justin thinking he was 6. I SWEAR you said 6 Morgan 😂 I was trying to figure out what food preferences the 6 year old had
Samantha Hunt
2022-12-19 18:55:12 +0000 UTCFor story 2: I am with you on the leaving the child out portion, but the entitlement of everyone texting OP that they need to buy the gifts isn't sitting well with me. Also, if the mom brought it up to the brother prior to OP, that was also wrong. She should have spoken to OP first.
Jaclyn Silvestri
2022-12-19 15:31:58 +0000 UTCYes Jerry! PERIODT. Love you guys Edit to add mom should've never taken it upon herself to make a list to spend someone else's money unless she was prepared to one contribute or make up for purchase if needed. I would have had the conversation first with OP and asked or planned a separate holiday. We are also neglecting the fact that OP has to be subjected to spending Christmas with his brother and has 0 relationship with his nephew. I don't find it considerate but in turn ask for consideration from OP, although I don't think it right to exclude I also don't find it right to be dismissive of another's feelings. Everyone sucks in this story.

2022-12-19 05:32:48 +0000 UTCThat MIL is so cruel! My grandma loves sewing with her fancy machine and made our family gorgeous stockings when I was about 9. When I was in high school my parents became foster parents. I am now 25 and every kid that’s been in our house has had a gorgeous stocking, matching the originals, made with their name on it. Easy gesture to make kids feel involved.

2022-12-19 01:29:21 +0000 UTCThis was so heartbreaking to hear 😔 my sisters and i have different dads. For Christmas relatives would go all out for my sisters and exclude me. Mind you I spent a lot of time with my sisters father, he treated like his own. But I was always reminded on Christmas that I wasn’t considered his daughter to other family members. I’m 23 years old now, after being able to process what that meant it kind of ruined Christmas for me. I used to cry when I saw my siblings received a gift and I didn’t. Don’t do this to children.
Caroline
2022-12-18 20:59:42 +0000 UTCJesus would give that kid a stocking 👏👏 get it Morgan
sokojenn
2022-12-18 19:31:33 +0000 UTCMy boyfriends brother has insulted me behind my back to the family time and time again *boyfriend is currently very low contact* however if during Christmas his family is around I get his kids something, it’s not their fault their dad sucks. They’re genuinely good kids and I love them. It’s not worth hurting innocent children’s feelings to be petty

2022-12-18 17:48:17 +0000 UTCPeople try to weponize children to get away with screwing over people
Nia Violet
2022-12-18 14:18:24 +0000 UTCI feel like you completely glossed over how op’s older brother in the second story ruined his social life!! Like, that’s so difficult to come back from and very isolating and I think it’s completely fair for him to not want anything to do with the older brother, even if “life is short” or whatever.
Martina Nilsson
2022-12-18 09:50:06 +0000 UTCGood thing i didnt wait for the video or else i would have been crying more in the airport right now. 😭Morgan crying is contagious and adds emotion to the story🥺
What
2022-12-18 03:31:21 +0000 UTCJerry: hey!— I’m gonna interrupt. Am i allowed to interrupt? Morgan and Justin in the exact same tone: no 😂 I love them all
