This universal and relatable lifehack can be used by just about anyone this holiday season. It’s simple, effective, and will probably not lower your current status with your ex-wife any lower than it already is at this juncture.
The next time you meet your ex to drop off your kids (4 and 6) on a Sunday afternoon, casually slip in during your goodbyes that you asked Santa for a Nintendo Switch 2. The entire ride back to their mom and Derek’s house, they will (assumedly) talk about how exciting that is and how cool it is that Santa is getting their dad a Switch 2.
This will then put their mom in a very difficult position, as she knows that their dad does not currently have a disposable income stream that could afford a Switch 2, despite him trying really really hard to find a new job.
She will have no choice but to purchase the Switch 2 herself (which is awesome, because they’re kind of hard to find right now) or risk her innocent children no longer believing in Santa’s magic when they don’t see a Switch 2 at their dad’s house on December 26th.
This lifehack is doubly cool because the kids can also play the Switch 2 when they are at your house and you aren’t playing it, but they can’t take it back to mom’s house, because Santa specifically said they aren’t allowed to.
