    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 :)

      @@aaronw1400 The parents created those monsters and look how they all just stood there; especially when those four kids went off. I'm sure I speak for my generation (I grew up in the 80s) when I say that I don't think any of us would have completed a full-on SENTENCE much less a RANT before being belted, sent to our rooms for the rest of the day and grounded for what would feel like the rest of our natural lives!!! I would also have been taken to work a soup kitchen AND since we went to church, when we were older be volunteered for different church functions for a month-- and that's in addition to our base punishment. My parents did NOT mess around. surliness and entitlement and DISRESPECT was not tolerated at all.

      to the first question: My mom allways kept the bills from stores in such cases. I allways liked my stuff so I only had this issue 1 time as she got me a jump&run game for PC that I don't liked. She said "I thought so" and we returned it to the store and I got a DS-game instead. I would've never said directly "this is shit, I hate it, I don't want it, I trow it away" I allways tried to see the most positive in the gifts I got since I grew up randomly liking to gift things to people and never wanted to the people I gift things to to be mad at what I gifted them so I thought it would be ony fair to not be mad at them for the gifts they get me. You never know if someone pretends to hate your gifts and breaks them when you say you hate their gifts, so allways being friendly would be the best option. But hey I never really got gifts where I could be super mad at people for.

    My step dad found out that - at 16 - I had never celebrated Christmas before... and he was not okay with that. He had been dating my mom for a few months, and he wanted to spoil the absolute crap out of me. He got me a whole ass gaming computer. Super nice. It lasted me almost a decade, with a few adjustments, over the years. 👍🏻👍🏻 I was NOT expecting it, AT ALL. It was a massive shock.
    It was his favourite holiday. He got so excited every year. Within a couple years, we had the tradition of getting a bit drunk together on Christmas Eve, and he was always too excited to wait until the morning to open presents. 😅
    He was an awesome guy. Super chill. He made me want to be a better person, because he made me realise it was POSSIBLE. So, so much better to me than my bio dad had ever been. And my mom finally got to have a healthy marriage. 👍🏻👍🏻
    He passed around 8 months ago, and we will miss him forever. I got to spend the last couple years at home with him, after he was diagnosed with cancer. We knew it was going to take his life, eventually, but we kept deluding ourselves into thinking it would be another 5-10 years. It wasn't. But he was still himself, up until a week before he passed, and we're so grateful for that.
    He was a truly lovely man, and I feel so fortunate to have known him. ✌🏻

      He was always the best in christmas presents for me. He investet money AND time to think about what I could need and what a good product is. So he didn't buy the newest things but things of quality that would last long. Now I try to consume like I learned from him.

    The best gift I ever gave my relatives was really cheap but took a lot of hours of work. Years ago, I made a family cookbook of all the special family recipes that we've grown up with over the years. I had to dig through and find scraps of recipes here and there. I even had to talk my grandmother into making a couple of her dishes with me to find out what she did, because they were only stored in her head and were "pinch of this" and "dab of that" kind of recipes. Now that she and a lot of our older relatives have passed away, everyone still treasures this cookbook, because it's a little piece of family history in permanent record. :)

    I grew up not poor but definitely not well off, and I remember one year my iPod touch (which was a brand new product that year) got stolen out of my backpack at school. I was so upset, literally sobbing, that the school called my parents to come get me--and my mom genuinely thought it was my sister she was coming to get because I NEVER got that worked up over anything. She took me out that afternoon to buy me another one, thinking I was upset over losing my new electronic, and that only made it worse. I was so upset because I knew she was a single mom with three young kids who worked three jobs to save up to buy me that, and some ASSHOLE kid at my school just decided it should be his. I was genuinely more upset at her loss than mine. I tried to make her return the second one, but she wouldn't, so I started going with her to one of her jobs on the weekends to clean vacation houses on the beach where we lived.

      As a single parent, I commend you for your ability to emphasize for the sacrifices your mother made for you & your siblings - especially after seeing the appalling conduct displayed by the individuals featured in the content of this video.
      Your mother did a great job with raising her kids, but it also speaks volumes about you yourself as a person that you were cognizant to her situation and that you handled your loss as more your mother’s selflessness as opposed to the loss of the device.
      I’m a single mother of a very young child myself and I strive to raise my child to reflect your conduct as it’s crucial for parents to help raise their children to appreciate the opportunity afforded to them and to be grateful to have the ability to grow up in circumstances that are a lot more fortunate than many that their peers face.
      I pray for your family and thank you for being a very wonderful person to have emotional intelligence and awareness that you could identify the situation with respect to your mother’s circumstances.
      This was a really wonderful comment to see at the beginning of my day!
      Sending you positive vibes from one family to another!

      I know how you must have felt back then, because I went through something similar as a kid, only that it was my own fault... We had a school trip to the zoo once and I had lost my phone there somewhere. I was devastated, because as I went to a boarding school (public school, we weren't rich either), my phone was the only way to contact my family during the week.
      Luckily the teachers helped me contact the zoo, and they actually found my phone among the lost-and-found stuff, so I was still incredibly lucky.
      Honestly, what you have written with someone just stealing your phone is probably far worse and I'm very sorry you had to go through this as a kid. But how you tried to make it up to your mum is really adorable.

    38 years ago, the year I turned 17, my parents gave me for Christmas a pair of gold earrings, even though I don't like or wear jewelry. As they were quite expensive (for us) it was the only gift and I remember bursting into tears because they paid so much money for something they should have known I didn't like. We then talked about it that same evening. My mom wanted me to wear jewelry because she thought girls (should) do it. But then she understood that there was no point in forcing something on me that I didn't want. The next working day we took the earrings back to the jeweler together and then went to a bookstore and bought all the books and illustrated books etc. that I wanted with the money (it were quite a lot and I was in true heaven) Bottom line, it was the best Christmas present I've ever had; especially since after that my mother never went back to choosing any gift based on what she would like, but based only on what I like.

    The one thing that my dad and his wife do for Christmas with my brother and I is that everyone gets a big cardboard box. Everyone sneaks in gifts, candy, treats and silly things we got. We don't even bother wrapping anything. On Christmas day, we all sit down and in a clockwise rotation we pick one thing out from our box and present it to everyone. You grabbed out a pair of socks, you hold it out "I got socks!!" and everyone cheers. It's so much fun and it makes the moment so much better.

    Unbelievable! I don't think I have ever spent even $100 for either of my children. Usually around $25-50. One year I gave my DIL a handmade counted cross stitch tea tablecloth with 6 matching napkins, never used that I picked up at the thrift store for $2. She loved it. Got to love that girl. At another point in time I had a different DIL and she informed me that she and my son could use a new queen size mattress for Christmas. I left it to him to explain how we handled Christmas at our house. And this was after I had become disabled and we were barely keeping our heads above water financially.
    I can't believe how these kids were acting. This is not something that came out of the blue. The kids were used to this demanding whatever they wanted whether folks could afford it or not. A lot of this is the parents fault for giving in to any whim and giving such exorbitant gifts in the first place. Right before my husband and I got married he asked me to make a list of what I wanted for Christmas. So I did thinking he would get me one of the items on the list. For the first and last time (I'm sure) between him and his folks, I was given EVERYTHING on my list. The most expensive item being a new crock pot and two bathrobes (WM brand).
    I used to make all presents that we gave in family exchanges. One year after getting a much better job with higher pay, I didn't have time to make things so I bought gifts. My nasty ex- MIL told me flat out that it was about time I BOUGHT the gifts instead of making them! She seemed to forget or ignored the fact that her son, my ex, never gave me a penny to get gifts with for his side of the family. So it was my fault we were going the 'cheap' (to her) route.

      that's right...if you learn the value of a gift early, you don't behave like this. as I was a kid my parents hadn't as much money as my aunt and uncle had. my cousin got lots of presents and my parents bought some preowned toys. but that's okay...I like all of them and was thankfull. but I have to admit that clothes weren't my favorite gift. as a kid you wish for toys

    As someone who has been given expensive gifts in the past, I appreciate the sacrifices of my mom, who was a single mom for half of my childhood, and others made so that my sister and I could have these gifts.
    Unfortunately, my sister doesn't feel the same. It's always more, more, more.
    She thinks the world revolves around her and people somehow owe her- and to this day only contacts us around her birthday/Christmas because she expects presents.
    In most cases, it does fall on the parents, but my mom raised us the same- I don't know how one child ended up feeling entitled and the other humbled and appreciative of the thoughts and actions of others.

It was in a treasure chest shaped and I think my parents thought I might have been upset to get soap as a kid but I put the soap in the bathroom as a decoration and used the box as a jewelry box for years.

The soaps have lost their smell and are a little battered but I would never part with them. The memories of going with my Mom or Grandmother to buy one of these special soaps is worth more then any amount of money.

Well we found out about a year ago that the mother sold that jewelry box 5 years ago so she could buy alcohol. My niece doesn't even know about the jewelry box and my mother was heartbroken to hear about it. So I'm really glad that you got to have your jewelry box that your grandmother gave to you. :)

    I once got sent a ring for Christmas from a friend that usually gives really nice gifts.
    It was in a nondescript box that was clearly not new and was just rattling around in there. It was slightly rough with no stamps or markings of any kind and looked somewhat poorly made with a flat polished stone inlaid.
    I felt very confused and slightly disappointed, until I suddenly remembered that he had said something about attending a silversmith workshop 6 months earlier.
    I went from underwhelmed to moved to tears in a split second when I realized that he had made it himself.
    That is still one of my favorite gifts.

    When my sibling and I were younger, maybe under 10yo, we both received large yet differently shaped teddy bears. My sibling thought that mine was larger than theirs... One day not too long after, they ripped off one of my bear's ears and threw it away. Our nanny (all female relatives were dead at this time) found it in the trash and sewed it back on.

    These parents absolutely have reaped what they sowed. When you give your children everything they want, you deprive them of incredible life lessons. Budgeting, patience, humility. I would take my friend's children to the store for their birthdays and they would get a set amount of money. from a young age, they learned to either pool their money for a bigger gift to share or to choose one or two special items that fit within the budget. They were very sweet, waiting for the sales person to count it out and put back, what they could not afford. These kids are thrifty, crafty and creative. The children on this video, may have material goods, but lack the ingenuity make it in the real world.

At a certain age, they asked us what we wanted for gifts as it was getting hard to determine what we liked and we all said we wanted the money so we can buy our own gifts. I think that is the best system for a kid to learn. We learned that working for money is better than being given it and it made us appreciate the gifts and gifted money we got on birthdays, Christmas and Easter more.

Her stripes were vertical and mine were horizontal!

    I just love the traditions my family has and spending Christmas with them. Even without presents, that's enough for me. But my favorite Christmas gift has to be last year when my parents gave me a new book series that I have been dying to read. It is the thought that counts not the price and I don't care what my siblings got either. One time for Christmas my dad made me a swing out of a wooden plank he found and some extra rope. And I was so happy because I had wanted my own swing to hang from the tree in our backyard for years. I was raised to believe that giving on Christmas was better than getting I spend as much money as I can on my loved ones presents. Even though I'm a broke high school student if my family rejected my gift like this that I spent my hard-earned money on and thought they would love my heart would be broken. Some people just don't deserve presents.

    These remind me of something I experienced personally : a neighbor had a party for her 9th birthday. She got gifts plus $90 total in cash. She was a Pokémon addict - gotta get 'em all! - so her mother said she could spend half, $45, on her Pokémon cards, but had to buy something else, anything else, with the rest. Not a bad compromise, considering her mother thought it was all a racket, but the kid had a screeching fit, retreated to the bathroom, and locked herself in.
    Her mother seethed, told the guests to keep the presents and money, and even divvied up all of the cake, balloons and food sent it home with them. When the scowling gremlin finally emerged over an hour later, everyone was gone, and there was no indication that a party had taken place there that day.

    • @bakaichigo
      @bakaichigo 2 роки тому +5

      @@msinformation91 That's an entirely odd way of looking at this particular method of parental checking... The test is on the parents, and this is entirely common and a perfectly acceptable way of testing a child's psychological and social development. Yeah, if the kid pitched a fit she should absolutely still get the bike... _after having calmed down and after having a full discussion with your child about why that was not an appropriate way to respond to not getting a requested gift._ And if she had pitched a fit, it would have been a failure of THE PARENTS in the test, as the test was not really for the child. The child provides the results, the test is the parents skill in raising a child capable of social awareness and conscientiousness.
      A human untested is a human who has no idea of their own worth or value. Better the parents take advantage of a situation to gauge their child's growth and development in a controlled environment, than for the child to go out and express the poor behaviours you are required to teach them out of and end up in trouble due to it. Worse traumas exist at the hands of those kids on the playground than in the hands of a loving family who just wanted to see if she understood the purpose of the gifts and season.
      How would the parents know if they are doing well _in the process of raising the child and not after mistakes have set into adulthood_ if they don't actually test for it? Depending on the child's age at the time, it may not even be possible to detect if they're going to have issues with a situation because they've yet to ever encounter it. Perhaps this child was JUST old enough to really request presents AND understand to expect them (thus JUST old enough to begin getting disappointed with 'santa') and so this was the first Christmas/gift giving situation where this could be tested.
      P.S. - There are many, many different ways to raise a child, and not all of the differences are "right" or "wrong" respectively. If your personal experiences with this sort of set-up in YOUR childhood proved problematic or traumatic for you, I suspect that has more to do with your parents/guardians handling of you and the situation than of the actual base concept itself. Something tells me you or someone you knew got denied the gift from a stricter household for having given the wrong answer - not every home is that strict, or that likely to traumatize a child. Which, yes, denying the gift, in the moment, for a bad reaction that was uncontrolled to a negative surprise, would be traumatizing and absolutely awful to do. Also, does not seem what the OP here intended for her daughter...
      Bikes are impossible/hard to wrap and large items, and I would imagine it was only in the other room to keep it a surprise. Seems to me they just took advantage of the obvious lack and suggested it wasn't there to see what she'd do, no intent mentioned to deny the bike if she freaked out.

So my sister crumpled up paper, made a tennis ball out of cardboard and made me a tennis outfit out of her clothes. I started crying and then everyone started crying lol I was so freaking happy that she cared enough to do that for me. Fast forward after the water works, my parents did get me two tennis rackets and some balls but that cardboard and paper was my favorite Christmas gift. The thought really counts. Mind you, I never asked for anything because I didn’t want to be a burden and this was the only thing I really wanted.

So i gave her a napkin of all the misstarts and undetangleable attempts. While she was trying to figure out what the intended shape was, i gave her my best attempt.
      Now it hangs in the kitchen window.

      My mom crochets and I have several things she's made that, even if they don't fit well or are too large/bulky, I will never get rid of. This made me smile but also tear up - condolences and thank you for sharing!

    The level of entitlement of these people is astounding! Parents need to stop catering to their children. One year my daughter threw a fit over a gift that didn't meet her expectations... the next day, she accompanied me to the store to return it and then witnessed me give the money to a homeless person

      My Mom had a rough go of it while I was growing up. We never had enough of anything. There was this one year, I remember furby's had just come out and we're all the rage, and my mom's coworkers got us a hamper. One of the gifts was not a furby, but a copycat toy. It was based off a chinchilla and I just remember how soft it was and how thrilled I was and how it would softly chirp. That was a good Christmas. Figured we could use some good vibes right now

He even put clear scotch tame over where the lenses should be so I could still read. He wrapped them and put them in my stocking. Priceless!

      I wish I had known Charlotte's ditty ages ago. Someone I worked with asked me to crochet a sweater for her once. Very intricate pattern with half the sweater done on a diagonal to the first half. She wanted expensive yarns, etc. I was asking for only 85 dollars. She decided that was too much because she could get a store bought sweater for less and declined. Two weeks later, she was showing me a pair of mass produced boots she bought on sale for 150.
