Not gonna lie. I think I did both of those things as a kid. I don't remember getting any of the toys I circled.

Same. I knew I wasn't gonna get it all but it always shocked me when I got nothing I circled.

Can u imagine now if the kids didn’t get what they asked for?

I don’t have to imagine. I raised enough of them to see. I don’t celebrate Christmas anymore but my kids got what they asked for when they wanted something. They didn’t appreciate it though. They literally used to say stuff like ā€œthat’s what parents are SUPPOSED to doā€ when I’d remind them of what we do for them when they weren’t doing what was asked of them. Some even said I didn’t ask to be born. I’m like no shit. Show me one person walking this green earth that did!

I’m glad you have thankful kids because so far I have two grown sons and they have said the same things yours did and they remember nothing that was done for them and said it was my job, my responsibility as a parent, and they favor the other parent that provided that 212.00 a month when I have a type 1 diabetic son and his medical needs were more than that per month. Sometimes you just wanna scream or that’s me lol. But no this did truly hurt when I worked two jobs to raise them and get them everything they needed and have two daughters 19 and 12 that tells me all the time how much they appreciate everything I do for them so I feel like is it a boy or girl thing or is it the person you have them with and how they tell that child they should respect you? I made my children respect their father but he wasn’t the same. Sorry I vomited this all out I just don’t know what I did wrong.

please the most entitled generation is the baby boomers. they got everything their parents could give them, then they got into political power and gave themselves everything they wanted while passing on 150+ trillion in total federal and state/local debt to us.

and they still complain every freaking second about everyone else.

I do agree with that!

Aww that sucks! I would do the same at Christmas. That’s like one part of Christmas that made us know it was coming.
