What a beautiful thing — children. I wish God would bless me with some. Perhaps one day. Be grateful because when all is said and done you won’t regret the money you spent on others. Love and cherish your children and your family!

So your kids have tons of cousins, you have tons of nieces and nephews. This is a negative to you?

Have you tried bitching about it on Reddit? You'll get a lot of sympathy from a bunch of guys who can't get their dicks wet.

Set a budget. Fun gifts do not have to be expensive.
Buy cheap stuff on sale out of season.

Make gifts. Regift stuff your kids never opened.

Get them used books.

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?


Think about it from a tribal perspective, these are potential warriors and breeders of future warriors for your clan or tribe.

Stop acting like a self entitled individual, support your tribe.

Crafts are a great idea for budget friendly gifts. I made eleven beautiful ornaments yesterday and my all in budget was under $1. Read more about it: TulaneLSU crafting guide

OT: I need your help. How do I deal with a poor family member that doesn’t make enough to afford Christmas and Birthday gifts? How can I help them gain that drive to be successful?

If crafts aren’t your thing you could look at Walmart for inexpensive gifts. TulaneLSU’s Top 10 Beautiful Christmas Ornaments will give you some ideas.

So, their procreation affects your budget and due to that, you believe they should stop?


Sounds like they are procreating beyond YOUR means.
