How do you deal with not getting all that you wanted for christmas?

Question

First of all, spare me the "Think of those less fortunate" b.s. because I donate and all that stuff all the time.

It's just, I know my family is wealthy and I didnt even get half of what I wanted! All I got was a juicy jacket, the nintendo wii, a lg chocolate, a northface jacket and some sweatshirt.

I know I sound spoiled, but my problem is...it's like...I feel like all my family only gets me the gifts that are common to be liked. No one puts any thought or consideration, I like anime and i really wanted some dvds and they were on my list but I didnt get them. It's like...no one buys me anime or anything because it's 'weird'.

Shouldnt that not matter? Shouldnt it be better to buy something weird if it makes the person you care about happy rather than throwing away money on stuff like the wii? I'm really upset....

Answer 1

Little girl, I would be thrilled with that stuff, but you do sound like a spoiled rich kid. So boo hoo, Mommy and Daddy are mean to me, the didn't get me what I really wanted for Christmas, boo hoo hoo. If they didn't "put any thought" into what they did get your ungrateful tail then they wouldn't have gotten you 1 single thing! Do you NOT get that there are kids your age that would be thrilled and I do mean T-H-R-I-L-L-E-D to have a sweatshirt even from Wal-Mart (I highly doubt that you would ever bother to go into on because it's a discount department store). I would be thrilled to get even one of those jackets but you see I'm one of the working stiffs that can't afford what you are pouting about ONLY getting. Stop feeling sorry for yourself and be grateful that your parents can afford that stuff. The most expensive thing I got is a $15.00 tea kettle so do everybody here a favor and shut up and stop being such a spoiled brat and be grateful that you at least have parents because I don't!

Answer 2

Whoa! A Wii and a Chocolete phone??
I didn't get anything i wanted, all i really asked for was an iPod, and a book, which i didn't even get.
My mom said the thing that cost the most, is some clothes, so i am pretty disappointed.
I know, everytime we say this someone thinks were selfish, but they'd be angry too!
Well, maybe my moms surprising me, i don't know.
I do not know how to deal with it. We haven't had that much money lately since my dad isn't paying for crap, and we're running out of money.
I just hope i don't get cheap stuff.
my mom said she went to Wal-Mart and the friggen Dollar Tree for my presents!
I'd love to have your presents though.

lg chocolate!! a wii! gosh you sound quite spoiled you dont see what you have till its gone ,see be thankful that you got anything this Christmas you would be suprised at how many people are on the streets and eating out of dumpsters at this time of year. Oh and listen Christmas isnt about gifts its about the time with your family, material items dont last forever.

Answer 4

i wont even answer your question because the nintendo wii itself is ALOT. and i will give you the think of the less fortunate b.s because you need too if you get that stuff!be glad even if you get to spend time with your family because some kids are abandoned and dont see there family.

Answer 5

As an adult, that problem doesn't bother me. If I want something, I'll just get it myself.

As a kid, I would probably feel that way, since I most likely wouldn't have an income, but in the end, it's just stuff and if you really want something, you can always get it later yourself.

Answer 6

I have son that has been serving in Iraq for 13 months and has missed both 06' and 07' Christmas. You can send your stuff to him if you don't like what you've got.

Answer 7

How ungrateful can you be? If you still want that stuff, get a job and buy it for yourself!

Answer 8

I buy myself what I want, instead of waiting for others to give me handouts.
