    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 :)

    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.

    • @AuntLoopy123
      @AuntLoopy123 2 роки тому +28

      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.

    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 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?

      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.

    • @mahogara
      @mahogara 2 роки тому +22

      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.

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!

      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.

I taught them that Christmas is about being together as a family, and not about the expensive gifts.

      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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

      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.

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.

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.

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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    ( 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.

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.

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

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.

(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.

    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.

    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.
