Tell them to expect in one hand and shite in the other and let you know which one fills up first.

I’m not responsible for them. They are barely getting by, which is where my guilt comes into play

Are you retarded?

it’s not yours or your family’s


It literally is his family.

Do you know how families work? What the concept of a family is?

A decision by one of them impacts all of them to varying degrees.

Sounds as though most of the OT grew up without a family

Poors procreating beyond their means is the biggest issue this country faces.

I mean.. if buying a gift is the biggest problem you have, its not really much of a problem. If it is that much of a financial burden for you to buy some toys, suggest the kids start drawing names.

The fact it is a fundamental personal right makes meddling with it tricky.

Are you paying for their food, shelter, and clothing, or do you just not want to buy gifts?

If their basic needs are being met by their parents and you are just mad about having a bunch of nieces and nephews to buy gifts for, you are the problem.

Just don’t buy them shite. Problem solved. Or put 100 bucks in each of their 529 accounts or some shite.

Obviously this is extremely selfish on their behalf when you look at things from a sibling perspective budgeting for birthdays, Christmas, and “new baby gifts”. This takes away from from my own family (spouse/child) and away from other siblings/parents of mine and my spouse. How would the OT deal with this?



Sounds like he’s procreating past your means not his

It doesn’t have to be regulated and/or banned by the government, but it sure as shite shouldn’t be subsidized and rewarded with taxpayer $.

My family has the opposite problem.
I’m one of three and I’m the only one with a child (one)

My wife is an only child with no kids and her only cousin is also childless. So her line is ending and mine rests with my daughter
