A few minutes later when santa had been and gone and the other mindees all came in with treats from santa the child burst into tears ...dad said never mind im sure your friends are going to share with you. I said sorry we only got one each , and anyway you seem to have taken your treat from the fruit bowl...dad had actually given her an orange from my bowl after coming inside!!
This dad is actually quite nice..just completely thoughtless. He needed telling exactly what i expected from him , no amount of hints would have ever worked , I had to just 'man up' and tell him!
