Man, Christmas as a parent is brutal (especially if you have an overachieving wife who spends too much time watching content creators Christmas videos). Was up to 4 AM building a swing/climbing thing in the basement, wrapping gifts, and doing stuff to get ready. Last night at 9:30 PM it felt like I was just coming in from a 3 AM bar. Slept till 5 Am today and was ready to go.
Picked up the new truck and got most of the stuff setup for it. Went to the grocery store and my father in law disappeared for a few minutes. Caught up to him at the checkout lane and watched as my father in law bought an absurd amount worth of sephora gift cards. When I asked him about it, he said he had a deal out of state and they only took gift cards. I told him before he checked out he was being scammed and to stop, he said we'd talk about it in the car. Told my wife discreetly on returning home and he promptly got a call from my mother in law telling him to return them. And they can't return them, so this will be fun
This isn't the first time he's fell for an online scam. Going to talk to my MIL about locking down his phone like a teenager so he can't get texts from people not in his contact list and has to get approved to add new contacts and get him off social media.
