Originally posted by ắttitudé Lol unless your parents are filthy rich you should never expect a $1000 gift.

Originally posted by aloirt Gifts are a privilege, not an obligation.

Originally posted by LoudR Fair enough, but like personally I'm 17 and my parents won't let me work and I don't have any way of getting money besides askin them so how am I going to buy the things I want?

the key word here is want (as opposed to need).. you don't always get everything you want, that's life and that is why the tweets in the OP are very greedy and unappreciative

Originally posted by aloirt Yeah, I definitely understand. My parents were the same way, but as soon as I went to College, they mellowed out. I got my first job when I was 19 and after working my first day, I see how PAINFUL it was to just make a measly $100. After that, I can definitely put things into perspective now. I guess you can always try to wait until you're in College or convince your parents.

I really hate people sometimes.

This was my first Christmas (an ex-Jehovah's Witness who has never celebrated it before this year), and I just loved hanging out with my extended family, having a few drinks, putting on music and dancing around with everyone. It was nice, and I didn't receive a single gift, instead I went to the shops and bought myself a few things with my own money that I worked for. These kids are so ****ing ungrateful and it makes me so angry that they demand/expect these things for themselves.
