Am I being spoiled or ungrateful, or are these feelings justified?
There were 2 birthdays where in the end I felt like I had been ripped off or something…
Well on my 16th birthday the only thing I asked for was a laptop (I didn’t really expect to get it, it was just the only thing I could think of at the time my parents asked me), I didn’t get one, which I didn’t really care about, the part that bothered me was that my parents chose to get me something that looks EXACTLY like a laptop until you read what it actually is on the box, it was a portable DVD player, which I wasn’t aloud to take out of the house because my parents were scared it would get damaged.. like come on, that’s just mean… I thought so anyway.. especially since we already own a dvd player at home…
and then on my 18th birthday the ONLY thing that I asked for was a bottle of Acai berry juice (about /bottle) I thought I would get it for sure since it was the only thing that I wanted between both of my parents
But then I ended up with a bottle of body wash, fake eyelashes (I dont know what they were thinking, I have never once worn fake eyelashes in my life) and a tim hortans gift card…
Now it’s not that im ungrateful for those things, but I just don’t understand why they would get me all that stuff when I only asked for one, readily available thing.
I dunno, i just always thought that I would do or get something special for my sweet 16 or my 18th, I just kinda felt like they brushed it off, is this justified at all or am I just being spoiled?
