So were any of you guys satisfied on Christmas morning...

I just came to this thread, too. I think we are arguing.

In the spirit of this thread..."Deckard, if you gave your boy only 20 Euros for Xmas, then go F!ck yourself."

Wait, didn't moestavern19 post the best present so far, or is it Deckard and he's just not being as explicit as moes.

 

LIFE IS GOOD

 

Did Moes post in this thing? Am I really supposed to read the damn thread??

We gave the boy an engineering degree.
(OK, at the end of the Spring semester)

Ain't that ENOUGH?

 

The sixth responder.

 

Ah! I should always read the first page of a thread. Then Moes and I both had a very merry Christmas. Hope yours is groovy as well, heypartner. Sounds like the odor in your pad certainly is!

Dude, there's something wrong with you. Like seriously, you might need to take your own advice and hit up a mental health professional. You sound a bit nutzo with your little meltdown.

Side note:

What's up with all the meltdowns on clutchfans lately? There seems to be a lot of random ones going on nowadays from random people. At least back in the day it would be the lusual posters under the influence (somewhat of an excuse) of da alchy. Now it just seems that a bunch of #anxietytroopers have been inspired by Royce or something...

 

I got some nice stuff, but I don't know if I'm satisfied per se. I always guilty accepting gifts, especially when I don't work or really contribute much of anything.

 

i was never melting down. i was making an observation and offering advice, but, it doesn't matter now. it's his problem, not mine. sometimes you have to take a step back and ask yourself if you actually give a damn about somebody else's issues. i did, and i don't. never should have gotten myself involved. was a nice timewaster though, and some entertainment.

best of luck, yung t. no hard feelings, sorry for my sickening sense of humor and awful advice, and i hope you get everything you ask santy clause for in 2013.

 

I agree with cardpipe and bigpete. If it's about daddy issues then this wasn't the thread for it. He came in here as a 22yo adult, that still lives at home btw, complaining about Xmas gifts from dad and stepmom.
Doesn't that seem rather immature/odd?

 

Don't worry. At some point this CF little debate will cease, and we can re-address the OP question:

"So were any of you guys satisfied last night.."

How did we drift from that question? Is it because you really need that last point at the end of the ellipses? And/or the missing question mark?

 

I guess everyone has to say he's satisfied then, sorry I didn't post in the holy spirit.

 

Well i was satisfied, got Rockets tickets on xmas day with the gf!

 

My wife got me a Nikon D800E. I am extremely satisfied!

I got her a baby (she found out same day that she is pregnant with our-to-be second kid).

 

Want a cookie?

 

Did you get your father anything? And how much rent do you pay?

 

No, saying your gifts suck isn't the issue. The red flags are about you comparing your gifts to what they spend on vacations, and how they never give you anything of monetary value.

That reeks of the green eyed monster talking.

 

I didn't get to open any presents for myself, however I did get to watch my almost-2-year-old daughter enjoy opening her presents in our new house sitting next to my newborn son. Blessed to have been able to afford gifts for her after spending so much to buy the house last month.

No gift exchange for my wife and I and no gifts from our parents, either. Still it was without a doubt that was the best Christmas we've ever had!

 

Yes, the gift of never having to see him for the 22nd straight year.

Thanks dad, you sure are consistent.

 

IMO obviously, at 22 your parents/step-parents don't owe you ****. Anything received as an adult is a

But not only did you show 0 appreciation for the gift you went so far as to speculate that your father plotted for six months to get you a gift that sucks (to you).
Again I know I'm on the outside looking in but that gift appears to be practical, useful, and *gasp* thoughtful.
Imagine that...........

 

My Dad is unbelievably generous to his kids...which includes myself and my brother. Even though we decided in advance that we would not be exchanging gifts, my Dad decides to give my brother and I each a x-mas card with a check for $500 each. We are both in our forties as far as age and have a hard time accepting such gifts at this age. But, you can't argue with him about it as far as not accepting it because he insists.

I think it was last year we splurged on him and got him a nice Samsung HDTV. We had it easily covered financially but he insisted on paying for half of it and would not accept "no" for an answer.

I've never seen a father more selfless than my father when it comes to x-mas and birthday time. I would be happy just giving him gifts but he wants nothing and insists on taking care of us every year. Also, he sacrifices taking care of our mother who has health issues. On top of that, my Dad never got this kind of treatment growing up from his father. He had a tough childhood with his Dad away in the military a lot and missed an entire 4 year block during his early childhood while his father was interned in a POW camp during WWII. Yet, he made a decision he would raise his kids very differently and ensure they were always taken care of.

Just a very supportive father and I am very thankful.
