While I kinda know what you were aiming at there, you missed it by a mile. You should read it sober, tomorrow.

I will go upvote you anyway, for the effort.

Geez - Spent about $450 on a 10 year old and just laid the Santa spread out, looks weak and I'm worried he will be disappointed.

Freak me


So you're trying to replace a lack of quality time with your kids with money. You're a terrible parent is what it sounds like to me. My suggestion is to take all the gifts back, and just take them for a walk in the morning. They'll forget all about the gifts and will be thankful for the time with you.

While that may be true, no where did the OP indicate he doesn't spend time with his kid.

Don't assume.

HOLY shite! Franz going for the jugular and finally living up to his depressing, misanthropic namesake.


But to the OP, yeah, your kid Judy wants to unwrap shite. Y'all are gonna have a great Christmas and I hope everybody reading this has a great one as well.

Just the opposite. I always feel like I got mine too much and am left thinking "where am I going to put all this shite?"

Anything less than 600 dollars and you should be ashamed. This is Christmas.


I've got 4 kids and probably spent 400 total on them at the most. Frick those spoiled arse whiners.

I do love my kids in all seriousness

Gotta admit, I get that feeling too. I'm probably vicariously living through my kid and remembering all the Christmases that I didn't get much because we had the poors.

Because you are a cuck and your kid obviously doesn't appreciate anything if you are worried. You and him probably both need a good arse whooping.

Christmas is about spending time with family. The older I get the less I want. My wife and I have a rule now, we don't get each other gifts and instead I pick out an angel on the angel tree at the mall and she does the same and then we go out and buy our angels 200 dollar worth the stuff the want and need. That is more satisfying since we buy whatever we want during the year

Yeah, I get that. My kid is almost 16. Just money works as a gift now. Still, I just feel taking the time to find a present is more personal. I got a bunch of gift cards so we'll do some shopping together next week, but still got her a few gifts to unwrap, too.
