She doesn't give us any money for our birthdays, and she gave me a crappy laptop that hardly even worked. And now shes married to this other cheap German guy. They had the world's WORST wedding and it was too fancy with all these fancy names for thing like soup. What can I do about this? (I hope she doesn't find this!)

By the way, it was a USED laptop from about 1998!

Look at it this way..it is her money and she owes you nothing. Even your parents owe you nothing outside of feeding, clothing, sheltering and loving you. You sound very materialistic.

It is not your Aunt's responsibility to give you things. Any gifts you are given are just that -- a gift. You should be grateful that you get anything from her. Perhaps she detects your ungratefulness and decides not to award that kind of reaction. And your opinion about her wedding is rude and tacky. Besides, what does the wedding have to do with your question anyway?
If your relationship is based solely on the quality of gifts she gives you, you are not only ungrateful but ignorant too. Love doesn't come with a price tag for her and it shouldn't come with a receipt from you.
I think that if you don't like her gifts you keep your mouth zipped and be a gracious person.
BTW, I hope she does find this and gets confirmation about your spoiled attitude.
Have a nice day.

So she's cheap. Or maybe she isn't. Maybe she just doesn't buy into the "tradition" that everyone has to give stuff to their brothers and sisters kids. It's not any of your business what she does or doesn't do with HER money. She doesn't owe you anything. All you can do is learn from her, learn that you don't like it when aunts and uncles don't give money and make sure you give every future niece and nephew of yours money on every single one of their birthdays. Hopefully you don't have too many siblings, believe me-it gets expensive.

well maybe your aunty has more important things to spend her money on like the cost of living and food and bills and stuff and NOT on a spoilt little ungrateful snot like you, If i was you're aunty I'd buy you a new attitude. and a big boot to kick up up the bum. Who give s a toss if you can't pronounce the names of the soups at her wedding,, it's her wedding and not yours, what you can do is start looking at what a person does for you in ways like loving you and caring for you not what she does and does not buy for you. I hope she does find it so she can see what a little toad you really are..lol

Be always happy with whatever you receive.Don't be materialistic. Your aunt loves you for sure and that what you must be seeing and and you have to count on. What is worst with a soup? The important thing there is the wedding itself and it's really great.

Whenever she behaves with you in this manner just reveal in front of her closed friend in a smart manner. Show as if u r very happy and let her friends etc know how cheap is she.
This will work. And always remember I u r sad ur oppose will be happy so be happy to make the opposite side sad.
Cheers.

First off you're being cut off here because if she went a spent all this money on here wedding for this other guy shouldn't she be giving something to her BIOLOGICAL family first? This seems really odd. I hate to say it but she does seem like a bit of a back-stabber. Plus the fact that she had a "bad" wedding also doesn't help. Compare your view of her with other family members' views and opnions if you know there's but don't go around asking for them because it'll just raise suspicion that you don't like her yourself.

Unless your aunt is responsible for your care this shouldn't be a problem for you. Who she marries and how she spends or doesn't spend her money is entirely up to her. As for the 'crappy laptop' it was at least a gift. You sound a bit like a snit to me. It isn't up to your aunt to give you money or other gifts. Grow up.

Get a job and earn your own money. But take a lesson from her and make sure you save the money that you earn. But at the same time make sure you have fun. I tell my little bro that if he earns 100 dollars play with 25-30 of it and save the rest for a rainy day.

I don't think you have the ability to change her personality, so I'd suggest trying to appreciate the parts of her that you can appreciate instead of trying to change her.
Count yourself lucky if the worst thing about her is her cheapness. It could be much worse. You could have a drug addicted aunt who tried to steal things from you, or a cruel one who made fun of you.

If your a foster child yes she is cheap cause the money should be spent on you. but if your just a nephew your lucky she gave you a laptop cause i don't see anything about you parents here.
