FUCK YOU, MOM.
What the fuck is wrong with my mom? I gave her a wishlist in November, plenty of time for her to get a few things that I wanted. I just opened my presents. I got two things I asked for. Two. Both of which were purchased while I was in the store with one of my parents, as I pointed at them and said "Get this for me for Christmas." Everything else? Towels, washcloths and socks. What the fuck. What the fuck? At least give me money or a fucking gift card or something. Nothing says "I didn't think about you at all while I was shopping" quite like towels and washcloths. God fucking damnit. Is it really that fucking hard to go to Borders and buy me a fucking book or something? It's not everything I asked for is something you'd have to buy off of Ebay from someone in China, jesus christ. Go to a fucking Best Buy and look around for a few minutes, you'll find something I asked for or would enjoy. God. This happens every fucking year. If I don't go with my mom and say "I want this", I don't get anything I actually want. What a great fucking holiday this is. At least my sister got me things I'll actually enjoy, even if I didn't ask for them. And it's not like I go around getting whatever I ask for during the year, either. I don't ask for ANYTHING all year long, and when Christmas and my birthday finally roll around, I get jack fucking shit.

I know this whole rant is selfish and immature, but for fuck's sake, TOWELS AND WASHCLOTHS?

I'm gonna explain myself here.

Yes, I have mommy issues. I've had mommy issues for years and I'm in therapy because of them.

Yes, I have a wishlist, I have a list of five things I've wanted forever.

Yes, it was a very retarded rant but I really wasn't thinking at all when I posted it.

My mom does this every year. Very generic unpersonal gifts that she ends up taking for herself. I just busted a nut and lost it for a few minutes. I regret it. I took it out on an LJ community instead of on her. I'm thankful that I got things, I really am. But it hurts that my mom wouldn't even consider looking for something that didn't scream "last minute gift".

I'm stupid, I know. I deserve the flames. But there's the explanation.

Seriously? I'd buy shit for myself I have absolutely no money and there's no jobs anywhere around here. I don't ask for things during the year. I had five things on my list this year, five things that I'd never manage to go and buy for myself. I've been asking for them for at least five years, none of them is more than 50 dollars. I tell my parents every year, "Hey, if you get me one of these things for Christmas or my birthday, I'd love it and you wouldn't have to get anything else. Seriously." And my mom goes out and buys shit for me that I don't want or need and is just gonna take up space that we don't have, or things that she'll end up taking for herself. It's getting really old.

I really hope you're fifteen and not just a twenty-something stupid brat. If you don't want the towels and washcloths why don't you donate them to a homeless or women's shelter? Why not laugh it off and say, "Not really what I was expecting, Mom, but thanks. I love you."?

And about having no money and not being able to find a job? Shut the fuck up. There are people who don't even have a pot to piss in and no way to even put on a clean shirt for an interview. Get off the internet, hug your mother because you actually HAVE ONE, and grow the fuck up.

You need to shut the fuck up, smile and go and hug your mom. It's called being thankful that you're all happy, healthy and there for Christmas. Towels indeed. If you were related to me, you wouldn't even be invited for Christmas, you spoiled, ungrateful brat.

You should do what my family does sometimes. If I see something I want while out Christmas shopping, I'll buy it, and then "bargain" with someone else in my family. They can give me the thing I just bought myself, and I'll give them something they bought for themselves, or they'll write me a check. It removes the element of surprise, but it also lets you get what you want.

And for the record, my siblings and I are all between 23-28, and we still give each other wish lists every year (and our parents make lists as well).

I think the OP would have been happy if their parents spent ten bucks on a niknak they put THOUGHT INTO.

The whole thing to me seems they are more upset that their parents didn't put thought into it or listened to their own child than not getting all the goodies and expensive things that oh so cool people get.

The problem is with the parents and not feeling like they cared, not what they actually got.

What were the two things you did get?

Also, yea it is crappy when they don't put thought into it. A lot of times I don't get what I want, but I don't get upset over that, I get upset over the fact that some of the things they didn't put thought into. But usually the best gifts that I get from my dad only cost about 1 buck and he gets them mainly to see me laugh. One year I got a Gumby DVD with four episodes on it. It was cheap, but at least they thought of me and made giggle.

She probably thought you'd need them. 17 is when I graduated high school, maybe she wanted to get a head start on stuff you'll need for college. And they're obviously the smaller cheaper presents, so maybe she just wanted you to have more things to open. She did get TWO things that you wanted. Two out of Five isn't bad. You can't get EVERYTHING you want all the time, then you'll turn into a horrible spoiled brat.

There is a lot of love in the practical things. I finally graduated from college, but because I'm a single mom, there wasn't much in the budget for some work clothes to wear to interviews. Well, I had $0 for it, to be exact. My mom took me to a couple of places and bought me some pretty nice things I can wear in order to be presentable.

I know that it's a different situation, but just try to see the love behind the gifts. There is often more behind those types than the frivolous crap we think we need.
