If i just let people buy me stuff, i end up getting coupons, clothes that are too small, CDs and some gift cards to places i never shop at. 3 years ago i gave my gf of 4.5 years a jacket, sweaters, shoes, a clock from Ikea that she wanted and she didnt give me shit. I also got her a pair of sapphire earings. Its the same every year: i helped my mom and sister get a car this one year, help them out of debt and take them out to eat all the time. when the holidays come, they give me a bunch of shit for not being able to afford presents for everyone. I just came home with 3 large bags of shit that i bought for me from best buy, target, and anchor blue. when i walked in, the first thing i hear from my family is "oh shit what did you get us?? dont tell me, youll ruin christmas." fuck you guys, this shit is mine! im in my room now buying shit thats on sale from amazon, overstock and whatnot. i just got season 1 of that show "Milenium" for $15 on overstock.com last night. I think the holiday shopping rules should be reversed. everyone should spend on themselves and thats it. I'll take them out to the movies and dinner this year....maybe - thats it.

I was feeling bad for you until you mentioned that you lived at home. Still, pretty shitty that they're sucking you dry. My family has always been just the opposite. They don't ask for shit and tell me not to spend money on them. I want to buy them stuff and never know what to get them.
