A daughter has shared how she was left heartbroken after her dad gave his girlfriend a gift she’s been asking for.
Taking to Reddit, the 14-year-old girl explained that she told her dad she wanted Revlon hair straighteners, so when he told her not to look under the Christmas tree, she jumped in excitement when she noticed the thing she’d been dreaming of.
But much to her dismay, the present was not for her as it was for his dad’s girlfriend.
The teen said she couldn’t help but feel disappointed as she felt ‘led on’ by her dad, adding that she’d wanted the straighteners for months.
When she spotted the box under the Christmas tree, she thought her wish had finally come true. Her dad also added more presents to hide the box from Revlon.
“I’m thankful for the things he got me I’m just kinda disappointed because i was really hoping for a revlon and he kinda led me on thinking it was for me like telling me to not look under the tree and when i did i saw the unpacked revlon and all of that I’m just kinda sad also because i was getting worked up for nothing,” she wrote.
She then asked Reddit users if she was in the wrong for feeling disappointed but she said that she didn’t want to sound ungrateful.
But the teen later shared an update, writing: “UPDATE: So I talked to my dad and he told me he was oblivious to how much I actually wanted it and I also read him some comments and the post and he told me that he thought that I only wanted it because his gf wanted it.”
