Hey ya'll! Today on my channel we are reacting to some spoiled teens reacting to expensive gifts! These entitled kids had meltdowns over their Christmas presents. But maybe spoiled teenagers need to learn the hard way that gratitude goes a long way and gifts are rewards for good behavior. Enjoy :)

What are you guys doing for the holidays?!
Hanging out with my family
Trying to survive! 🤣🤣😂🤣
working :(
Daughter is 25 and she don't like it when we make a big deal abt holidays. So now that we have a 5 months old baby, that I had while watching ur channel hahaha. We r gonna have a blast and now my daughter is excited coz the attention isn't all on her lol
Probably age 5 years with these rotten children in my care LOL. Karma is real. I hope that you and all of yours (as well as all who read this) have a wonderful time.
When my daughter was 4, she wanted a care bear. I had no money, I bought a knock off and thought I could pass it off. She was grateful and I overheard her telling her friends. My mom thinks it's a care bear, so pretend it is. That made my year.
That's so cute omg 😭
What a sweetheart. We love ❤️
Aww she trusted you enough to think you’d simply not know instead of trying to fool her…
What a great kid 😍
My nephew turned 9 last month and he wanted Air Jordans and he knew they are expensive so he told his dad (my brother) if you can't get it for me because it's expensive it's OK you can get me a cheaper version. My brother said no it's your birthday you can have them.
This made me realize how poor our Christmases were. We couldn't afford to be disappointed at our gifts, so every gift was appreciated. And, while opening the gifts was definitely a highlight, Christmases were always a bigger thing than that. We just had so much fun.
I remember we always opened the gifts one at a time, so that it lasted really long, and everybody got to "Oooh" and "Aaah" over every single gift. We also had a lot of laughs because, sharing such similar tastes and knowing each other so well, we had a LOT of duplicates. People giving the same gift to one person, or people giving each other the same thing. It was hilarious! And we did a LOT of used book giving. Half the gift was the fact that the gifted was giving up the pleasure of having that well-loved book in their own library.
One year, after a move, we had "Santa Closet," where we opened wrapped gifts from "Santa," that were actually things that we had misplaced in the move, and shortly before Christmas, I helped out with some cleaning, and found a some boxes that had not been properly unpacked, so I wrapped up the stuff inside, and labeled them as from "Santa Closet," and people were SO happy to get these "gifts," because they were thinking the stuff was actually lost, and would need to be replaced. I even found a couple of items that had been purchased directly before the move, and were still in their original plastic wrapping.
With an attitude of gratitude, even the cheapest Christmas gifts can be wonderful and appreciated, and you don't have to go all out to have an amazing holiday.
And you know what? I hear people poo-pooing the whole "coupons for favors" idea, but if people actually USE those coupons, they become some of the best gifts, EVER. "Oh! I am having SUCH a backache today, and I still have to wash the dishes! Oh, wait. I DON'T have to wash the dishes. I can redeem a Christmas Coupon! WOOHOO!"
Christmas coupons are only "worthless" gifts when the person receiving them forgets about them or refuses to use them.
Same... my sister and me actually never have been expecting gifts because we knew we were poor. But thats why every gift was something that actually meant something to me. I still to this day appreciate every small thing that I get from someone because people went out of their way and did think of me. Might sound stupid to some but I actually belive in the phrase "its the thought that counts" some people have reasons why they can't give you what you want and thats okay - especially when they still try to make you a present. I myself always try to give something small but personal and this mostly gets the best emotions out of the human beans I love. People forget that it is about the connection between us I'm a millenial trying to not sound like a boomer but nowdays I feel like people are very distant to each other apart from the current situation.
Same. We each got one gift and a board game to share. I NEVER remember being disappointed. My parents also took us to see lights, play in the snow, special candlelight church services, bake cookies. Christmas was so much more than our 1 gift we got.
Wait y'all get gifts on Christmas?
@@AuntLoopy123 same here...
I'm amazed what these kids are saying. My daughter said she'd like an iPad for her digital drawing but knows they're expensive so she wants doc martins instead. She's getting both. She has no idea. She's been helping around the house, running with my crazy shenanigans, and even helping with my plants that she hates. I'm happy to spend for her
I know this is a year old but I had to comment and say I LOVE it. Sounds like a great kid being raised by a great mom. ❤️
There may be a backstory to the young man with the ‘not guitar hero’ present. My MIL gave very different presents to my two boys. The older one received very nice things and the younger one received much cheaper ones. The favouritism was marked! We had to mention it to her more than once. Our younger son always said thank you but he noticed the favouritism and you could tell he was hurt. Who knows, maybe this is a similar situation??
I thought the guitar hero thing was maybe a blended family and the mum's partner bought the cheaper version for her son?
Narcissistic behavior pattern (in the adult) and one child picked as the golden child?
I was definitely thinking the same thing! Like what is the deal with the other kid getting the real one and the other getting the knock off?! Also he obviously attempted to act like it was okay because he was playing it. Where was the "golden child" when it was time to show how much they like their gifts? Kind of feel the same about the tv/iPad one like why would they get the kid that does not watch TV a television and "Jennifer" (I am assuming sister) gets a laptop?
@@marymacdonald7826 I thought so too, and that's disgusting. I have two bio kids and a bonus daughter, and never have I treated her any less than my own.
Or they gave him the cheaper one because he was acting like a spoiled asswipe beforehand and they decided to teach him a lesson.
It’s flat astounding how many people allow their children to have so much power over them. These videos make me endlessly grateful for my own sane non-entitled kids.
Me, too!
Agreed! My kids have NEVER acted like entitled little dicks. They knew if they ever did they would get NOTHING!!!
Agree. My mum let us know earlier on that is was not ok to be horrible about a gift. I’ve always told someone thanks, even if their gift sits at the back of the cupboard for years before I rediscover it.
Maybe you just are a good gifter and pick the right gifts? I know some in this video are overdone, but for example: the kid complaining about receiving a TV although he/she never watches TV. Well If I were to make such an expensive gift I would damn well make sure it is something the kud actually wants. I mean, its a waste of money. Even if the kid was nice about it and told the parents it likes the TV...it would have been a lie and the gift would stand aroung unused.
To be honest, most of the parents here have no business being a parent. They either neglect their kids and give them expensive gifts to buy affection or believe disciplining a child is child abuse. The entitlement definitely comes from the upbringings and the surroundings. These kids don't have any respects for their parents and it's probably partly the parents' faults.
Last year my mum had helped me financially a lot through-out the year so she made it clear I wasn't going to get a lot for Christmas. I understood, and told her of a few "themes" for things. She literally gave me Disney napkins, Star Wars bandaids, and Harry Potter paper cups. Total price? Probably way less than ten dollars. How did I feel when I got them? Excited as hell, yo! I was like OMG STAR WARS BANDAIDS!!!!!!! I didn't care that they weren't expensive, I cared and was happy because my mum understood what a massive nerd I am and that I'd like those gifts. This year will be the first Christmas without her, and I'm gonna miss the hell out of her but always remember memories like that fondly.
Aww, my mom does that too and my brother and I always love them
So sorry for your loss. All the good wishes to you!!
My mom used to do this too, I loved it! It will also be my first Christmas without her.
Hope you are well, and may your holidays be full of love and warm hugs ♥️
Love your story! So sorry for your loss!
Sounds like the greatest of moms!!! I always tell my kids and step kids "nobody loves you like your mom. A good mom is to be cherished and treasured."
If I had your address I’d mail you some Star Wars bandaids in memory of your mom. She sounds like an awesome lady! I hope you have a great Christmas.
I've got 16 nieces/nephews(I'm youngest of nine amount the aunts/uncles). It's amazing to see how my siblings raise them... one family group, my brother raised his 4 to be very respectful, and delightful to be around. Their phrase is, "Christmas is the season for giving, NOT getting." And ensure that the kids are giving as many gifts as they are getting. It certainly has kept them from feeling entitled!
So my 8 year old nephew called me to tell me alllll about the handmade gifts he's making for everyone ❤
He's gonna get a good gift from me for his heart of gold. ❤
Ten years ago I bought my niece a tv for her room. At the time I was working a job that paid way below minimum wage, she felt the screen was "too small" (42 inch), and purposefully trashed it, ten years later, and I haven't spent a cent on her since.
She must be regretting that shit now 🤣
& don't you dare now, well done, ungrateful chit
Good for you! 💜 She’s not deserving of ANYTHING from you anymore.
My daughter was only about 5 when my sister gave her the same present her Granny also gave her. Inside, I was freaking out about what she would say. She gave me a quick look then said thank you to her Aunt! I was so proud of her knowing that she would hurt her Aunty's feelings if she said anything.
AW!
Depending on the gift, it can be FANTASTIC to have a double. "Yay! A spare! Now I don't have to worry about it, when this shirt inevitably gets stained!" or "Yay! Double the make-up! Now I don't have to worry about running out so soon." Or even, "Yaaay! I can share with my best friend, and we'll match! So fun!"
Regifting can be quite the compliment to the person who gave the gift, if it's done in the right way, as in "I LOVE this so much, I have to share it with the person I like best." Depends on the gift, of course, but sometimes, it's magical for everyone involved.
You raised your daughter right. She was polite and appreciative, and I'm sure she enjoyed BOTH gifts, either one after the other, or by sharing with someone special.
In my family, we knew each other so well that almost every year there was at least one duplicate. Heck, we usually had two or three duplicates. As in, two or three people in the family got duplicate gifts, because everyone saw the same thing, and thought, "That is PERFECT for so-and-so! Oh, and this other thing is PERFECT for such-and-such." We learned to laugh about it, and see it as excellent evidence of just how much we loved each other, that we thought so much alike, and that we knew what each other would love.
You’re raising her right
My Mom and my best friend once gave me the same crystal horse statue. My first thought was "Perfect! Bookends!"
This is why i just give my niece a gift card
My kids understand why I couldn't give them expensive gifts,cause they saw my struggles throughout the year. They were receiving "better" gifts from their father's side (we were separated since they were just babies) but they always appreciate whatever I could afford. I taught them that Christmas is about being together as a family, and not about the expensive gifts.
They are both now in their 20s and I'm proud that they grow up being a decent human beings.
Family=truth. My extended family used to exchange gifts, no one was really hurtin for money. We would (the adults) would still draw names just to cut down on the excessive shopping and stress. One year I was forgotten - no present. I was 16? 17? I played it cool and tried really hard to spend time with my aunts/uncles/cousins. Yeah I was hurt, but I’m glad I did bc we’re all scattered to the 4 corners of the US now. Honestly, I think that was the last year they did gift exchange… I think after I told my parents later that night, the adults decided just to nix gifts for everyone except little bitty kids and grandma.
Gratitude is something I remember my mom REALLY instilled into me and my brother all growing up. And wow it has made a huge difference in my life. Being grateful for anything and everything massively changes a person's outlook on life.
I'm sure she'll be proud of you & your brother for taking those lessons, forever.
Happy holidays ⛄
When I was 16 my parents gifted me this amazing charm bracelet. Each charm had a special memory or characteristic attached and personified me as a person. My best friend got a Vespa. To this day, I still think my gift was more thoughtful and loving…
For any teens watching (or anyone who receives gifts for any holiday): it's totally okay to be disappointed with a present. It's even okay to hate a present. You can't help the way you think/feel about something.. what you DON'T do is post about it for the world to see lol and you definitely don't tell the person who so nicely gave you the gift. You tell your best friend and cry about being disappointed and laugh about how stupid the present is and never tell anyone else how much you hate it.
About " telling the world" part, I agree.
But I will not give to anyone, especially a child a gift that it's not wanted.
Imo you do tell the person so they know not to gift something like that again but I get your point
@@xchalibur77 I think everyone gives gifts with the intention that gift will be wanted lol pretty sure all these parents thought their kids would like the gifts. Even if you're expecting them to like it, you can't control how the person will react.
I had this problem not too long ago. Last year I received a goodbye present from my aunt. It was a makeup set from a brand I knew and hated. I bought a set before from the same brand. It was terrible. I immediately called my mom in panic. I didn't know what to do. I felt so embarrassed. Mom told me to put a brave face and say thank you and nothing more. I came up with an excuse just in case she asked about the products. I would have said I used my own makeup to do what I had going on because I knew how to make it work already.
@@blazingapparition2687 "expecting" it's not enough, if you have to spend your money, do it well. You gotta ask questions and know the person first.
I remember once when I was like 8 or 9 a couple of girls got me the same doll for my birthday. They were both embarrassed (one girl was more upset than the other, I think because hers was the one I opened second), meanwhile I was absolutely jazzed at having *twice* the doll and could not understand why they were upset. I ended up naming each of the dolls after them, just to get it across that I was actually *very* happy with the situation and was not trying to avoid hurting anyone's feelings or just being polite.
Yeah, that happened to me when I turned 6. I didn't have a problem with the repeat when I opened the second doll, I actually remember thinking it was kind of funny. But my mom got flustered and said "Just say thank you! Don't say it's a double!" Okay, okay, relax. I was fine with it, anyway.
That's a great attitude, and while this never happened to me I'd have loved having two of the same toy. Considering I was big into action figures as a kid (and honestly, if I had the money today I'd be sorely tempted to re-collect some of them) having two of one would open up a lot of cool possibilities. And while I've realized I was sort of a brat and dumb as dirt as a kid, I'd hope that if I then saw someone who liked it but couldn't afford it I could then give them one of them.
Last Christmas was tight so I offered to sew for my sister, using patterns I already had, as I had nothing to give but my time. She graciously accepted and bought the fabric, and she now has two custom dresses that she makes a point of taking pics of, or telling me she's wearing them. Her kindness and the fun we had made it a gift we both enjoyed and I am so grateful she didn't react like these spoiled kids.
"They're nice enough to go out and buy you something for Christmas and you gotta act like an idiot!" 😂👌 Love her.
This type of blatant ingratitude is one of my biggest pet peeves. When I was 15 or 16 I had a sleepover with a couple of friends and my dad took me to the grocery store to buy snacks before dropping me off. While in line at the store, my dad noticed some pumpkin donuts on one of those last-chance bakery carts and asked if I wanted them for my sleepover, and I was absolutely over the moon that he offered to buy me and my friends extra snacks just because. When he came to pick me up the next morning, he asked us if we enjoyed the donuts, to which one of my friends (who ate two of them) responded "You only got six!" Bitch, what? I was absolutely mortified. Never before been so ashamed of someone else's behavior.
Definition of secondhand embarrassment
How does anyone have the balls to be so ungrateful and rude to their friend's dad for doing something he didn't have to do etc. Just wtf. I would have been pissed. I would have made her apologize to my dad for being ungrateful and idk if I would want to continue being friends with her after that. Wow. Some people. So rude.
I was never spoiled or entitled by any means but I feel that knock off Guitar Hero kids pain.
My Grandparents always bought the boys the exact same gifts but for us girls, it was the same type of gift. I'm the oldest of the girls and I always got the cheap stuff. One year we all got dolls; all the other girls got beautiful porcelain dolls and I ended up with a knockoff Barbie. Another year we all got jewelry boxes; the girls closest to my age got beautiful matching wooden ones where I and the little girls got plastic ones. It wasn't until I was much older that I realized my Grandparents treated us all differently. It's fucking painful knowing this now looking back. And it was hurtful then when they would get angry with me for being ungrateful. They made me feel like trash. I always took great care of my stuff. Yeah, my room wasn't always the cleanest but what childs are? The plastic jewelry box was my breaking point. I said nothing but smiled until I was in the car and cried all the way home. There is a lot more to how I was verbally treated compared to the rest of the grandkids also but that's another story entirely.
I recently experienced a similar eureka with my childhood. I was the extrovert grandchild who apparently grated on everyone's nerves. You think at the time that I somehow deserved the unequal treatment - it hits decades later that they were just picking favorites and I wasn't it. Worst part is, now everyone is dead and I can't smack 'em all silly for the pain they caused me.
Exactly! That's not him being entitled, kids should expect to be treated the same!
I relate to this story so much. Sandra (refuse to call her anything else.. but she birthed my dad) hated me and my sister so much and treated my mom like trash.
It wasn't til later that everyone got to see that side of her, as she started treating everyone else like we were treated. Which was hilarious to me because we used to get so much shit for hating her... Not many went to her funeral... My sister, my nieces+nephew,and I did not go and don't regret not talking to her when my grandpop died. He was never cruel to us, and I do miss him very much.
Exactly. I had a grandma that treated my mom and her kids me and my little sister and my dad different than she treated my mom's sister and her sons and husband etc. Huge difference in treatment. My mom was also adopted. Not sure if that is why. But yeah. It always hurt.
Edit: The grandma I am talking about is her mom too. The woman who adopted her. Yet she treated my mom differently her whole life. Then when my mom got married and had me and my little sister, she treated us the same way. But she adored my mom's sister, her biological daughter. She treated her biological daughter and her husband and kids way better than she ever treated us. She never visited us. But lived with my mom's sister etc. However. When she got dementia and health issues and then dying, she precious biological daughter and her husband and kids ditched her in hospitals and homes. Wouldn't even visit her. Because she won't know anyway and she is annoying asking the same things over and over again and stinks because she wears a diaper and can't control her bladder either etc. Who was taking care of her? Me. My mom. My dad. My little sister. I moved across the country into her house to take care of her. Because she needed it. Her biological daughter and her husband and kids were all right there. Because they had long since kicked her out of their house. Etc. I will never understand people.
I love the Cartman impression when imitating the ungrateful brats.
Charlotte's entitled kid/Cartman from South Park's voice is cracking me up! So appropriate 😂😂😂
What the hell are some of these parents thinking, raising such spoiled little monsters? None of these kids came into the world with a sense of entitlement; this is definitely one situation where nurture trumps nature. Videos like these make me grateful for my child-free existence 😆
Lol I was just gonna say her Eric Cartman impression was insanely perfect
We can all very much tell you are child less. Lmao. Yes it is the parents fault but you have to remember there's no guide on how to raise kids. It's every parents worse nightmare for their kid to turn out like that. You just do your best and prey. Also at the end of the day they are still their own person. Will you please write a book with instructions. My kids are under 5, man and I'm scared AF.
@@makaylabyron972 There are many books on parenting and I am sure most of them will tell you to have boundary's, to make sure there are consequences for your child's actions, both when they do bad things and when they do good, and to make sure to have back-bone. Don't succomb to pleas or theater from your child. These things will help you rauwe your child into a proper, good and responsible adult. Anything else can be tricky and difficult and be different for each child. And it can be more difficult if your child had ADHD, autism or any kind of mental issues. But if you stick to those basic rules you have a great start to begin with and it will work out well most of the time. Most if these entitled kids and adults are not this way because of ADHD, autism or mental illness. They are this way because their parents did but parent then properly.
@@Freya778 yes there are books but I meant a direct guide. My point is there are obviously lined you don't cross but there is no true right or wrong way to parent. I do all those things but that doesn't mean my child doesn't have tantrums. I do happen to struggle with extremely bad ADHD and so does my 6 yo, but I just do my best like the rest of us. Even parents that do everything "right" it doesn't always turn out the way we want.
Several years ago, a friend was going through some hard times financially. He told his kids to give him a list of three things they wanted for Christmas. One of his sons complained "I only get three things for Christmas?". All I could think was what a spoiled little sh*t. You're lucky you're getting anything at all.
My sister & BIL started this with their kids during tough times too. Told them “Jesus only got 3 gifts when he was born”. They were/are Uber religious & it worked for them.
@@mariontheantiquarian7849 That was perfect. Wish I had thought of that
I was around 15 when I realized that some people get more than ONE present (excluding underwear and socks) from their parents for Christmas! We had little money and I was fine with just one present... of course it was never a "name brand", i.e. I got a knock-off "fashion doll" instead of a Barbie when I was about 8, but I would have NEVER even thought about complaining!
Same
I was the same! My parents always told us "you can make a Christmas list as long as you like, but Santa only has enough space in the sleigh for one present for everyone". I _definitely_ appreciated things more because of that - for me Christmas was always more about things like baking biscuits with mum or my dad lifting me up high to put the star on the tree or all of us playing games with my aunt and uncle and cousins and grandparents on Christmas Day. Presents were just an added bonus.
Yep, same. I’d be disgusted with myself if I ever showed disappointment/
I used to get more when I was little I’m 13 now and we are just getting one but we might go skiing. I have this friend that I don’t really like she gets mad over every little thing I do sometimes but she got bullied so I try to be nice but after Christmas last year she asked me what I got after I told her about my offbrand fit bit type thing and my bombas socks (which are super comfortable and hopefully I get a second pair this year) she told me about the newest iPhone, Nintendo switch, and Mac book she got and I could tell she wanted be to talk about how rich she was and how she’s better then me because she kept asking what phone I had and do you you have a Nintendo switch and stuff like that.
In my family, we were basically taught not to expect nonessentials for the year outside our birthday and christmas. Not a big deal. We didn't spend a lot of money frivolously in general. I still got a heck of a lot more than i should have for presents (once i was older, i got a video game a year added to the pile).
This mentality might be why i cried when spending money to get a new mattress since mine left me in physical pain in the morning, buying a water softner to extend the life of my water heater that sounds like popcorn and also to make the water more usable, and for the new washer dryer when the old washer was ripping my clothes. But i'll gladly drop a hundred per person easy for christmas and birthday gifts.
Although it helps that i get a list of items that aren't that expensive and if they are, everyone else goes in on it. Like for the new chicken coop
My family struggled so we shopped all year round, started a tradition of buying books from thrift stores and everyone got to join in opening a box of books xmas morning
It was so much fun
We only stopped because we ran out of bookshelf space lol
Charlotte dropped some truth bombs in this video. My parents weren't poor when I was growing up, but they were far from rich. However, they taught me the value of things, not the cost. One of the best lessons they could have ever given me.
When the kids complain, just take back the presents. If I had've done that, I would have had the taste slapped out of my mouth.
Donate them instead - trust me, it hurts more 🙃
Yes! My momma would have slapped me so hard that my kids would have felt it! So I never complained and neither did my kids. Growing up, we were so poor that getting anything was welcomed whether it was what we wanted or not.
@@3ch1dna07 you are an amazing human
@@jehonadragusha1292 No more than you are! 😊
@@user-rd6dh4hq1j That's an even better idea! Cheers.
I didn’t know how spoiled my daughter and nephew were (I was his foster parent), till I bought them cell phones. They wouldn’t think of putting them in protective cases. That would make it big and bulky. Just wanted to slip them in their back pockets. Then the screen would crack or they would fall out of said back pocket and into the toilet. I had insurance for the phones so I would get replacements. After the second time, I said that’s it. If you want a phone, you have to buy it on your own. My daughter got an old phone from a friend and kept that for ages till she could afford a new one. My nephew had a crack screen till he went into the army. That was the end of “I have to have the newest and best”. They’re both 31 and pretty good people. They only raise their entitled heads occasionally…..to my laughter and derision.
When I was growing up , I always appreciated my gifts. It was the kids at school ( especially highschool) that pissed me off every time with the “ what did you get for Christmas ?” question then once I tell them they give me this scrunched up face and said “ Really? That’s it ?” Then start bragging about what they got. Those people annoyed me.
It's really very simple:
They don't like their presents?
If the items can't be returned to the store, then Mom & Dad take the gifts to Goodwill or Salvation Army and donate them.
I honestly blame the parents for this. Too many parents are too lazy to actually put up with the tantrums of young children and so they just give in and give their children whatever they want and that's why they're still throwing tantrums as young adults. Just don't have kids if you're going to be too lazy or to weak to actually parent them. Your kids don't need a friend they need a parent. You can't be your child's friend and also be the parent they need. Not until they are grown and out of the house can you be your child's friend. We don't need any more entitled people in the world. Kids who behave like that should have all of their presents taken away and donated to someone who will appreciate it.
I agree with you
Kids don't get beaten enough these days
I partially disagree, because constantly being in "parent mode" can lead the kid to feeling pressured and stressed out. Sometimes the only friend your kid has is you, and that's when you should turn off being a parent for a bit and be their friend. My mom is my friend a lot, because I behave lol, but she will turn parent mode on IMMEDIATELY once I act up or am being TOO lazy.
They should meet my parents broom stick and slippers.
LOL. I am totally living this. Nana and daddy just give in. Nana Jason (lol) sticks true to his word and the kids are better for it.
OK. The second one....I totally get him. It wasn't even on the spot outburst. He held himself together but lost at the end. I feel him😂
WTF? The guy was old.
I remember when I got two books for Christmas a couple years ago. I was so excited because they were signed by the author AND they completed my collection for the series I was reading. (Those were the most memorable for me because the person who got them for me went through a lot of trouble to find them. It meant a lot to me!) Ironically, we decided to celebrate the holiday with a friend since they didn't have plans. They also got books and left the house after dropping them and yelling about how we could have done better.
This entire video is the perfect example of why we need to punish our kids when they're wrong/bad.
Please, share your wisdom on the perfect form of punishment that will prevent kids from becoming brats occasionally.
Discipline is the word to use when you a child does not behave and is told no or sees the negative consequences (grounded, privileges revoked, etc). Many ppl think of punishment as yelling or screaming or hitting a child to an extreme that is uncalled for. Usually is felt as a a sign or disrespect or belittling the child.
@@CynthiasTikka Exactly! Discipline should never involve beating children. You can ground them/give them chores, time-out, whatever works best for your child.
Not the entire video, the guitar kid was definitely the victim of favoritism....
This entire video is the perfect example of why we need to teach good parenting.
The "Here Comes Santa Claus" South Park rendition was the highlight for me! I laughed way longer than socially accepted 😂😂😂
If you find something funny, laugh as long and as loud as you want. Laughter is good. It cleanses the soul and, in public, makes people question your sanity which means they are less likely to trouble you. That's a win win to me! Lol
I knew I recognized that but couldn't put my finger on it! Lol
Something they want, something thing they need, something to wear and something to read.
What i do with my 3!
Watching these kids makes me so much more grateful that my parents raised me right by instilling a sense of gratitude 🙏🏼
I actually bought my hubbie a signed book for xmas and bought myself a book I really wanted. I can't wait for them to arrive ❤ Books are awesome!
A good book, for Christmas? Hell yeah! What could be better than being tucked in, on a cold night with your book, your pet, and your beverage of choice?
The irony of a good book. I use to get my neices and nephews one electronic gift and one book when they were younger. Tried to find series that had cd's so they could learn to read. So you could hear the disappointment.
Then when they became teens they were like 'you could get me a book for Christmas'. Rofl. Cause by this time I was getting them gas cards and movie gift cards so they could get around with friends.
I‘d say please gift me the beverages, because they probably cost more than any of my books 🤫
These videos make me so grateful for our kids. We don't just buy them whatever they want when they want it. The big stuff is reserved for birthdays and Christmas. We might get them small things every now and then, if they're good and getting good grades. I've been around spoiled children, and I made myself a promise that my kids wouldn't act like that.
Getting good grades is my job. That is what I was told when I was a kid lol
@@ashley_smith Yes, it is. If you aren't working out on the farm or in a factory like back in the olden days, the least you can do is to try your best in school. Especially considering there are still many places in the world where an education isn't free and is unattainable for many, even though it is often the only ticket out of incredible poverty.
@@cy8125 thankfully a few of my teachers did not share that view. They told me learning was fun , and showed me proof. If all of them had said you better work hard now so you can keep working hard as an adult until you die from overwork, well, I think there would be a problem. It's not supposed to be constant suffering just because someone else has it worse. Geez. I did so well when the teachers allowed learning to be fun, and weren't afraid of letting people go at their own pace. I did as much homework as I could, many chapters ahead of the rest of the class. I could spend my actual class time writing creatively or doing art. This I enjoyed. I did not enjoy some teachers, and parents, reminding me this is just your job until you get a real job. Work work work. Stop enjoying yourself. This is serious business. Umm....I'm counting plastic see-through money via overhead projector. Don't think the world economy will collapse if I had miscounted those pennies.
Yes! If kids want something they work for it, if they want a toy they do chores so they feel like they worked for it. I wish my mum did that to me, growing up.
Charlotte just imitates Cartman so well! Makes me crack up every single time! 😆
My step grandma had really bad memory problems and would send us kids books for Christmas until adulthood! We just thought it was cute and funny, so we enjoyed seeing what she sent every year! Also, our dog “bought” us cereal that our mom wouldn’t get the rest of the year. We were excited about it! 😂😂 Santa brought the expensive gifts, so that we didn’t ask our parents for that stuff! It’s about family, traditions, and memories! We had more fun tearing open the gifts and laughing!
Omg I love the dog buying the sugar cereal! Gonna steal that one
This just makes me sad.
My mum and I currently help a charity that help refugees that have nothing, some being babies that don't have clean or dry clothes. Living in awful conditions.
These horrible spoilt brats complaining about the wrong colour console, the wrong generation apple watch or IPad.
They don't know how good they have it!
Disgusting behaviour, if I was a parent and they weren't happy with I got them I would be taking it back and they would get nothing!
I think making teens work as volunteers is a good way to teach them about the struggles of other people. It could make them appreciate and be grateful for what they have.
@@IngleseconAnna It may be good for the ingrates but the clients in need of services should not have to deal with their attitudes. I was trying to help a friend get rental assistance from several religious organizations many years ago and the condescension was appalling. Please don’t use poor people as props.
Good morning everyone! I hope you all have a great Friday, and a fun weekend!!!!
Thanks David! You too 💙
Good Morning David! Hope you have a wonderful Friday and fun weekend too!!!!
I’m in my mid 60s and childless. I’ve known since I was a kid that I didn’t want kids of my own. All during my 20s and 30s, family and friends commented on my increasingly short timeline to have kids and nobody quite believed that I just didn’t want them.
Watching videos like this one reinforces my decision. I’ve seen the kids of family and friends act just like this at holiday time. I’ve seen adult children of my friend’s “borrow” money from their parents that had no real intention of paying back. I definitely made the right decision for me.
You aren’t childless sweetie. You are child-free!
I have tried to convince my family members in the past to go out and have experiences as a family, for a Christmas, rather than buy each other gifts. A few family members were ok with it but several people were very angry. I agree 100% that it’s about spending time with your family way more than receiving gifts.
I love my Sister-in-law and she loves me at Christmas. GIFT CARDS ALL THE WAY!!!!!
May sound thoughtless, but when it comes to the weeks where eating out or even going on a date is financially hard, they really are very appreciated.
1:01 he tried to suppress it. Idk, it seems like his brother got something he really wanted. Imagine you wished for something specific and have to watch your sibling get what he or she wanted and you have to be happy with whatever. I think the reaction of his mother is what's really bugging me.
And tbh, if a child (no matter what age) is upset, sometimes it's better to let them vent before you go talk to them. This guy left the room which is a clear sign that he needed some space.
2:46 Also the person who got a TV and wasn't happy about it...a TV might be a really nice gift, but if you're not using it because all you do is watching UA-cam(for exampel), it's just a waste of money.
*Edit: I'm not justifying ungratefulness or uncontrolled emotional outbursts.
The guy got emotional, but left the room instead of attacking his family. We also don't know anything about the family situation. I wished I could articulate myself better, to bring my points across more clearly. And please stop telling me adults have to react a certain way. Adults aren't emotionless robots.
He's way too old to be that disrespectful. I also think it might have been staged. The TV kid DID want a TV. He wanted a bigger one than what he got. He can be mad but to "get physical" with anybody over the size of the TV you were *given*...c'mon.
Needed space? He looks like an adult! He looks so old that I’m not sure if it’s satire or not.
I don't understand why they couldn't have gotten two Guitar Heroes. Would have solved the problem right there. I mean seriously, if I were him I would be mad too. He asked for it, and they gave it to his brother instead.
Being upset is not the point. Acting like an idiot is.
If you're not happy about something and you are in public or with your family, you fake it, contain yourself, you don't let everyone know that you're pissed. Being disciplined is something people must learn to live around other human beings. Imagine if you feel the need to pee and you're in the middle of a mall, are you going to do it wherever you are in that precise moment? No. Why? Because you know how to manage yourself. Feelings are the same, it doesn't matter if you have them, we know they're there for a reason (maybe you were taught in a wrong way and you're suffering for real now), but you're still responsible for them and for how they makes you act.
People value more the ones who are able to suffer inside but they're still controlled and dignified on the outside, because they're stronger, and luckily it's something everyone can learn even if their parents didn't provide that skill.
@@beccadotelpy @beccadotelpy Hi and thank you for your comment!
Sometimes even adults are getting a little upset about such things. We're not reacting level headed all the time. That's why I said leave this person alonez because sometimes they realize themselves how "immature" the reaction was. His mother's reaction was very aggressive. The way she pushed herself against him is some kind of dominating move. You also don't know if the parents might treat him like this all the time. His brother could be their fave. They also didn't stop recording him, which is another red flag. If someone's upset, especially if it's family, you don't film it.
And no, that's why I marked the time. The kid I mentioned wanted an iPad instead of a TV. I'm not justifying the kids ungratefulness. As Charlotte later on says, rather buy something someone wants instead of wasting money. Or buy nothing or a gift card instead. If the kid doesn't watch TV or something else in connection with a TV, it's just a waste of money for the parents.
I’m flabbergasted by those kids. I was a SUPER poor single mom with 3 kids. As a waitress, I made good tips in the summertime so I’d start an Xmas lay-away in July. Our Xmas was modest but to my kids, it was an avalanche of presents. Once, when my middle child was starting to wonder if Santa was real, I said to her, “Do you really think I could afford all those gifts?” Accustomed to being poor, she brightened right up and agreed that Santa must be real then. But the thing that our simple xmas gave all of us was appreciation and gratitude.
I have hit a point in my life where my dad paying my rent and utilities for December has been the best Christmas gift of my adult life.
( He did that as a joke last year saying he just paid my bills so don't expect any gifts. Ended with me breaking down crying because it was such a relief since now I could go ahead and get my car fixed, plus have a bit of spare money.
The real priorities
I think books are the greatest gift that keep on giving. Not only can you learn new things and broaden your horizons, even from the most unrealistic fictional story, but they give me a way to escape the world, especially when my anxiety spikes. I can lose myself easily in a good book, for hours.
Because I am a nerd of the literary kind For one birthday I literally got a weekend is all booked t shirt with a book on it. 😂. I completely agree with you.
I remember my dad getting books for me and then spending the day reading them himself. LOL
@@Birdbike719 haha nice, that sounds like something my sister would do to me.
We also exchange books among friends so we get to talk about it together
Admittedly, I was the kid who read the cereal box while eating breakfast or the shampoo bottle while taking a bath. Who am I kidding? I still do those things. An idle mind is both a wasted mind and the devil's playground. Your whole life is one huge lesson to be learned, so make use of the time given to learn as much as possible.
I always tell my kids to be thankful for the gesture, no matter what the gift is. (As long as it's not some prank gift)
To be fair: I prefer a voucher from a store I often visit than get the wrong present. Also in my family we don't pretend to be "happy" about a wrong present since over a decade, because we hate this fake stuff. But also we are even happy about a box of chocolate and booze or tea or a big bag of coffee beans. Sounds simpel, but better then faking a thanks to bullshit presents. And I'm always happy, when someone knows my favourite sort of tea. This person KNOWS ME!
There's a difference between a polite thank you and going overboard to pretend you love something. You should thank someone based on their efforts and intentions. If you want to be more open about it, you could surely say thank you and ask if they'd mind if you exchanged it for something you'd had your eye on... Not saying thank you is just unacceptable.
That's what a good present really is about, isn't it? That you feel like the giver has really seen you. Either because you told them what you could use and they got you that, or because they know what your favourite tea is.
I can't hide my disapointment, after years getting gifts target for "girls" just because i'm a girl it just get's frustrating. I could never keep my gift because i would never wear them or play with them, I liked drawing, animals and comfortable "masculine" clothes and yet my family would get me pink cute tight shirts, dresses, books on "how to get a boyfriend", dolls, makeup, etc.
My disapointment was more about how little they tried to know me than the gift itself.
My sister and I voted to just do fun stocking stuffers as adults since we treat ourselves the rest of the year, and enjoy this time together as a family. So much more fun than stressing over expensive gifts. Love this time of year!! Happy Holidays, Charlotte ♥️💚♥️💚♥️
I did secret Santa stockings with my siblings. I got my brother and it was a lot of fun thinking of the perfect things to fill his stocking with. We had a great time. Stockings were always our favorite part as kids.
I grew up in the lower end of the blue collar spectrum. My folks scrimped and saved. I remember them being terribly embarrassed to get food stamps for a short while after my dad had his first stroke and couldn't work for a couple months. We had okay Christmases and subdued birthdays. It was sometimes hard because we lived in an upwardly mobile neighborhood and there were only a couple families as far down as us. We had one amazing Christmas, I was probably 10 or 11, I think my dad had a good night at the poker table or hit the football pool at work because the presents were stacked high and deep. It was amazing.
I was happy to get clothes, especially as I got older and was expected to buy my own. Free shoes? Hell yeah. I don't give a crap what brand they're shoes!
Halfway across the world, yet this basically describes my family's celebrations as well. Getting clothes that weren't ill-fitting hand-me-downs? Score!
@@cmnielsen5470 Hell yeah! I'm a big guy and big guy clothes are freaking expensive!
A family of 3 kids, 9, and 10, and 10ish, just moved to our area, and the school they go to is upper middle class. They are making fun of them already. They asked one, why do you wear the same shoes every day? I’m heartbroken cuz he’s such a cool person to me. I want them here for the opportunity’s they didn’t get where they’re from, but when he was begging me for my Bluetooth earbuds for school the next day, not even apples, I feel like he’s got a shit road ahead. It’s better to be with kids in your own status sometimes!!
@@nonyab5640 kids are cruel. Stand by your friend.
My family struggled financially growing up. There were 6 children and my mom saved all year to be able to spend $50 on each child. Sometimes enough extra to buy a board game or the latest Disney movie. I never felt disappointed. I loved Christmas. And I would give my mom a hug this instant if I could. She died 15 years ago when I was 19.
I remember being upset about expensive gifts but for the opposite reason. It was Christmas and I had a 6 month old. Because of an emergency c section and complications I couldn't work yet, and the father had left because he decided he wanted a party lifestyle instead, so I was suddenly left paying double rent, new baby and low income. So the father's parents were rich and cared a lot about appearances and brands. They sent a huge box full of crazy expensive things we didn't need like calvin klein bibs, designer versions of baby things I already had etc. It was nice of them to send presents, but in a time we could barely afford the bare basics it just felt crazy to have them spend hundreds on bibs just because they had the CK logo on them when there were baby things we actually needed and couldn't afford. Even just some formula or nappies would have gone a long way, not a pile of CK bibs. In a time when I was relying on donations or having to do makeshift nappies sometimes, designer duplicates of things we didn't need just felt horrible. And yes they knew the position myself and baby were in because of their son leaving and not giving child support. They knew some nappies, formula or nappy cream would have been a godsend. It was more like I was feeling like I wished they had spent less money but on something which would keep us fed and sheltered. Though these are the same people who gave me a Dr Spock parenting book the day after I had miscarried our first baby.
they sound like arseholes. Good thing you're well rid of them. Hope everything is ok now x
This actually gives me anxiety. No of mine--or around me--would get away with this attitude.
Ouch, that first clip, the first kid gets a stack of 1$ bills and the other gets a new apple watch. Favoritism much? They didn't even bother getting the kid an actual gift, just "here's 20 bucks, see what you can get with that" she even said thank you , unlike her sibling...lovely parents
Did they get her the kitten, too? Did she get other things that the older sister didn't get b/c she got the watch? I get what you mean. It's just that this clip is obviously cut...and probably doesn't show the whole unwrapping time.
@@beccadotelpy Thats what I have bben wondering...did she receive the Kitten??? I mean every normal child would go creazy over getting a kitten, right? The children I know would have ignored the money and only noticed the kitten!. But maybe the kitten wasn't for her? So we do not really know what went on.
@@endlessstudent3512 Maybe they already had the kitten prior to Christmas. Cats love to play in boxes at any opportunity.
@@beccadotelpy Idk, it looked older than a kitten and seemed familiar with the family but I'm looking for the full version. I'll come back when/if I find it.
@Elizabeth Bennett I couldn't see all the bills so it could've been a little more than 20 but it's definitely 1$ bills.
My parents had a holiday decoration they absolutely hated, but made sure to prominently display every year when throwing their Christmas party for friends and family. It was a gift from family, intended as a thoughtful way to fill the void on the mantel while the clock was in the shop getting repairs. People are more important than things; sometimes that means you have to pretend to like a gift you hate for a few hours. Isn't it worth it? The giver is the important part anyways. When I think back on Christmas as a kid, most of what I remember are the people and the holiday traditions. I'd be hard pressed to name even 3 gifts from when I was a kid, but I remember the things we did as a family on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day so clearly that it may as well have been yesterday.
This is why I ALWAYS include the return receipt with every gift I give, just in case. I'm perfectly happy knowing someone can get something they want rather than just throwing away what I got them. It's okay to not like a gift, but good lord the entitlement.
My grandma came to visit and pick up a pair of pants I couldn’t wear and i made her a drawing as well and just the smile on her face made me so joyful! And then she pulled out $100 for xmas and i was so happy with that i almost passed out!!!!! Im going straight to Walmart and finally am able to buy all the toiletries, food, ETC…. That has been on my shopping list for a month!! So grateful!
I'm happy to hear you got the stuff you need, got to see your amazing grandma, she got some drawing & pants... I'm sure you made her feel amazing too. 🥰Happy holidays 🎄
My ex-best friend invited me round one year when I was a child, for her birthday. She opened the gifts and said “is that it?” I looked at her like “what?” Her mum said that it wasn’t a nice thing to say but she said because the wrapping paper wasn’t completely flat, she thought there might be more. Still didn’t get that thanks for the present. Another year, I got the same said friend and my other friend a little kit to sew a doll, because both of them were into art. When my best friend opened my gift, my rude ex-friend said and I quote “oh, I got that gift from her as well”, in a way that made it seem like I hadn’t put any effort into the gift. My best friend handled it very well and told me “I love the present thanks.” She’s done lots of things like that and looking back I wondered why I stayed friends with her for a long time.
Gifts are meant to be tailored and thoughtful to each individual. So, your ex friend seeing you got the identical thing for both, she probably got the vibe that you didn’t put any thought into it. I’ll be honest, I’d be hurt if I found out that my loved one bought presents in bulk and the same for everybody.
@@Puglover130 I get that, but I had choose the type of doll that they would make based on what I thought they would like. It’s hard to explain but there are other similar things like this that makes that seem slightly rude (if you get what I mean).
I can never understand why kids distroy their gifts.
I am always grateful, I know how long it takes my parents to save up.
I’m convinced some of these kids “complain” on social media just to humble brag. They pretend they hate It to not only show you how nice their gifts are, but also to sell the idea they always get really nice things.
Whatever age I was when I started to kinda understand how money works, I had a hard time taking birthday and Christmas gifts from my mom. We weren’t dirt poor, but we were somewhere that told me the money could’ve been used elsewhere.
Must be nice for these kids.
I can only imagine how my parents would have reacted to me if I had acted like this. I can remember many a Christmas where we got tennis shoes for school that my parents hadn't been able to pay for at the beginning of the school year. We had to wait for my dad's holiday overtime pay. PJs, socks, deodorant, all made regular apperances under our Christmas tree and we were effing thankful. The year we got a Playstation (as a family gift) was like we hit the lottery...but we only had one tv to play it on and no memory card lol.
Yep, my girls are getting ballet shoes this year as they've been dancing in tights without them 😊 But they've been asking for them for ages so I'm sure they're going to be excited. They're also getting one 20 dollar present.
I grew up when spanking was still okay. Nobody acted like those brats ...for long.
As a kid, some of my favourite gifts were books and stuffed animals. Now, my gift that I wait for is from my Aunt. It’s always something that she has knitted. Matching scarf and fingerless gloves are my favourite. This year is Christmas with my Mom. Even at 45 I have to alternate between parents. ❤️
I love her Eric Cartman impression, it's so spot on 😂
Charlotte’s Cartman voice is pretty spot on 🤣👏🏽
And this why I've told my husband that we'll never buy our kids tech gifts for Christmas/birthdays. If any tech is bought, it will be for the whole family. If our kids ever want their own tech, they can get money from mowing yards and raking leaves, or getting a fast food job when they're old enough. As for cars, we'll get them a used car that is safe to drive. Anything beyond that they'll have to pay for. My husband also has four adult children and his youngest daughter bought her first car (used) all on her own, her dad just cosigned for her. She paid it off and now has a 2020 Ford Focus that she got at just 22 years old, without a cosigner. She's extremely proud of herself for accomplishing that at such a young age. Then my husband's oldest son bought our old 2004 Ford Taurus from us and has been fixing it up. They've both been extremely grateful for our help with getting vehicles.
My boyfriend and I agree with everything you said.
How old are your kids? Seems like whoever raised the husband's kids did OK..
@@deborahcampbell2425 5 and 2. My husband and I are an AGR (Age Gap Relationship). He and his ex-wife both raised them though, despite a rocky coparenting relationship. He's extremely proud of how well his kids have turned out. His youngest daughter, especially, takes after her dad when it comes to her work ethic. The only problem is they both push themselves so hard that they end up burnt out and exhausted. She's taking time off from her college classes, because she's a McDonald's general manager and has been so short staffed due to Covid, that she's been working 12 hours shifts and raising her son.
My dad is the best gift reciever ever! One year he received 7 of the same gift from various people, and each time he made a big deal about how much he liked it, and always found something nice to say, no one ever knew he already received it
wowwwww I’m always shocked at these videos. My parents bought things based on what we like because they know us. My mom haunts the library book sales and every year I still get a giant box of books for birthday and Christmas. It’s the BEST. I don’t understand wanting things like TVs that don’t mean anything and don’t last.
I love getting books too! A free travel in places I could never go, encountering amazing characters and going through a lot of emotions.... In the comfort of my armchair. And I can travel again whenever I want to. Books are wonderful.
Oh! I kind of have a story that fits this!
When I was a little girl, I never liked dolls. AT ALL! I loved Pound Puppies, My Little Ponies and cars/trucks. Tonka toys were the bomb.
Anyways, as my mom tells it, my grandma wanted to get me a doll for Christmas when I was 6 and my mom told her over and over not to do it because I loathed dolls. Grandma bought me one anyways. I still remember that hideous creature. Like a hybrid between Raggedy Ann and Strawberry Shortcake. I opened the box, and loudly exclaimed in horror, "A doll?!?" and threw the box down.
Not my best moment as a child, but my mom still found it amusing. Grandma forgave my honest, if brutal, opinion of the gift, and Christmas was not ruined.
Lol 😂 you didn't fit here at all! she was warned and it's ok for 6y olds to hate dolls.
@@drkrishnap I think that's why my Mom didn't get mad at me...I was firm in my utter dislike of dolls from an early age. 😆
@@tats763 yeah mine is 7 now, he thinks dolls and stuffed toys come to life at night! (Boy but I get him all sorts of toys and books)
Who thought Toy story could be a scary movie in his head!! Lmao
These people just astound me. I am a cancer patient living on SSI, and my kiddo told me that she doesn't care if she doesn't have Christmas this year because she is grateful for her family. My kid is just amazing. She understands that sometimes you don't get what you want and that's okay. She is 9.
Your Cartman voice is spot-on! Love it!
I always did a list. My mom loves going off the list because she thinks it's "more meaningful". However, it was always painful to me because not only was it not something I wanted, but I felt it was a waste of my parents' hard-earned money.
One of my children tried to pull this one year. I returned the gift and then kept the money. They were shocked and upset. I explained that I bought it out of love, they disrespected me and acted spoiled and entitled, so I will use my money on someone who is grateful. Lesson learned and you bet there is kindness and a grateful attitude now...
Ha! Well done, you.
After watching this video, I had to go hug my mum. I love her so much, so freaking grateful to have her ❤
As a lover of books and a college grad with two literary degrees, I used to gift books here and there to my family. I'd make it fun by doing different themes for the stuff I knew the family member liked. For instance, my cousins when they were little, I'd buy the Disney film and book that inspired it. I was able to do the same for my sister. One year I got her "The Host" book by Stephanie Meyer and the film to go with it. These are just examples, but it was because I knew they liked the stuff before hand, like my sister listened to the Audio Book, but didn't own the book, so I got her the book and film to match. I did board game themes one year to, like buying Jumanji film & board game for one kid, then like Zathura film & game, and other similar things lol. I like doing fun themes lol.
One thing I know for sure is that the Potato Queen will NOT have spoiled brats! Your reactions and comments made my day Charlotte ❤
Her parents raised her right!
I played with a steering wheel that I made out of a paper plate for 2 Christmas's in a row and I was more excited than any single person in this video to see them lol
I got my daughter an Apple Watch 6, in April this year. She’s been asking since the watch debuted.
I got a wildly affordable deal from TMobile, and in my eyes, she earned it.
I’ve had numerous health issues over the last 2 years. This young lady, who is autistic, has learned to make simple meals, go to the store on her own, and to be a huge help.
She deserves that watch, and I’ll probably upgrade her to the 7, for her birthday, in January.
You have to reinforce the positive. She’s stretched well past her comfort zone, to help me, and I’m grateful.
Definitely deserved it!
To be fair, it's pretty tough when the person next to you gets what you wanted and you get the knock-off which, often, is not as good as the thing you asked for.
I've learned to smile and say thank you, but it's not really something I wish on anyone to have to get used to always feeling like the afterthought.
that momwasacti g reallyshitty. like, it was so obvious he was trying to make it work but it was so hurtful what they did
Yeah, I would feel pretty miffed by that too. Though I probably would try to hide my disappointment as much as I can and not say much about it.
This years presents from me are paintings. I picked out relatives that we all miss dearly and are no longer with us. Not worth anything to anyone but us but I spent 15-20 hours a piece on them. The only person we spoil with material gifts is my grandma and it will be that way as long as she’s with us. 50$ on everyone else. She’s a queen for Christmas. No one deserves it more than her 🥰🥰🥰
This speaks volumes to how their parents failed at teaching gratefulness, consideration for others and just human decency.
My favorite gifts to receive are things that obvi came from a thrift store trinket shelf bc I probably will never see anything like it. I had an auntie who gave me a piece of jewelry, a teeny picture frame, a chipped pillbox, to name a few from over the years. (another thing I like about these types of gifts is that I don't feel the "i must keep this forever" pressure)
Charlotte's Cartman voice is the best Christmas present everrrr
What's wrong with getting books? My kid checked the prices on his preferred gift at the store and then turned around to tell me " It's fine! Get me 2 books and keep it under the tree." And he is getting books plus something extra as a surprise. Too many options given to kids
So grateful to have a kid who is grateful for ANYTHING she gets, I could get her a box of crayons for Christmas and she would still say thank you and be over the moon about it. She also tends to always want art supplies so she's easy to shop for. Hoping my youngest turns out the same way. 🤞
Same! Xbox? Apple? Phone? A pencil? You're still gunna get the most sincere sign of appreciation lol
Nice
My niece did the same thing to my mother, regarding the color of a console. My niece, who is an entitled spoiled brat anyway, broke her game cube in a tantrum. (Obviously this was a while ago) my mom, who does not understand electronics, and game systems even less, did everything she could to find a discontinued item. Here comes Christmas eve, and my mom was excitedly waiting for my niece to open the gift that she was very proud of herself to have been able to find, a new one no less. My niece opens it, sits there and glaring at my mom says “geez Grandma! I wanted the BLUE one not the GRAY one.“
Never in my life have I ever wanted to slap someone’s face clean off their head more.
She did the same thing that same Christmas to my dad. He had gotten her a gift card for $100? To a department store and she did it again “geez grandpa! I wanted it to Walmart not Fred Meyer!“ or something like that. I don’t remember the stores but you get the idea.
Then, having all of her gifts, she snuck into the bathroom to call her mom to come get her, with her giant sack of gifts that my parents had lavished upon her. She couldn’t have even been bothered to hang around and see the family that we usually only get to see once a year. She got her stuff and then she was ready to leave. She didn’t even say goodbye or thank you. She just snuck down the stairs and out the door without saying anything to anyone.
That was 10 years ago and not only did she not grow out of it but she is the same or worse. Constantly milking my parents for money and gifts. We are all aware that you can go into pretty much any department store and get a pair of flannel pajama pants for about $10. But when my mom asked her what she wanted for Christmas, she has to go find the most expensive pair of flannel pajama pants she can find. If she were buying it herself, she would’ve bought the $10 pants. But because it’s Grandma buying it, she goes for $32 pajama pants. I am certain that there are brand names that are more expensive as far as pajama pants, but still, their flannel pants for crying out loud. Basically a utility item that you wear at home. What the hell does it matter what brand it is, who the designer is, as long as they are warm, soft, and comfortable.
Idk how your family put up with it, if I ever done that with my grandparents I will not see anything for then and my the rest of my family. Is really sad she does not have empathy for her own family....

When mom calls all three of your names, it's NEVER good.
My family has shared notes app where we can view and edit our wishlists. We have different group chats where we coordinate efforts so there’s no duplicated gifts. Even still we have all been raised to be thankful for everything so we’re always grateful for any gift given.
My older sister said the exact same "So is that all?" ten years ago and it left us all speechless. Then my parents said "you're free to buy yourself some more!" or something like that lol!
Especially since she didn't get anyone anything either :')
Our family stopped giving gifts many years ago. My brothers and I kind of encouraged it. Only the children get presents. A few times we did a gift exchange at dinner, where each person brings an inexpensive gag gift, and we play a game where each person takes a turn, and can keep the gift they picked, or take someone else’s gift. That’s the extent of our gift exchange.
Holidays are much more enjoyable now.
No more buying things for people that they don’t want, and receiving a bunch of stuff you don’t want.
I am so thankful that my children and grandchildren love getting books as presents.
When you raise spoiled brats you get ungrateful,bratty reactions
My family never gave expensive gifts. To start with, we were too poor but as the years went by and our finances were better, we still continue to give only small gifts. Most of us just don't see the need to spend big bucks.
There was a video a few years back where a little boy got a banana for Christmas. He was so happy and so cute... Everyone should be that happy and grateful for their gifts on Christmas.
