WOULD YOU BE UPSET? 11-18 year old answer please.?

Question

Because we’re going on vacation tommorow we had to open our presents early.… this christmas I wanted a keyboard whilst my brother and sister wanted PSP's. I wanted a keyboard like this http://pianoandsynth.com/wp-content/uploads/2007/12/yamaha-psr-e203-keyboard.jpg BUT THEY BROUGHT ME this http://weltenschule.de/TableHooters/picts/Bontempi_MinstrelBeta_2.jpeg which was only about $10-20 (I could have brought it myself) and I’m VERY VERY VERY VERRRRRRRRYYYYYY UPSET because my brother who is 11 got a BMX bike, a PSP with 6 games and 3 playstation 3 games, A 10 year old DOES NOT need that much! My sister got a pink PSP with a docking station and 5 games. I felt VERY JEALOUS seeing them open there presents…

Kids around my age (I'm 16) wouldn't you find this unfair? IF I WAS TO DESCRIBE HOW I FEEL IN ONE WORD I WOULD SAY I FELT COMPLETELY HEART BROKEN. I ALSO FEEL VERY UN-IMPORTANT. =’[

I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL MY PARENTS HOW UPSET I AM WITHOUT SOUNDING UNGRATEFULL OR SPITEFULL? :(:(:(:(:( I was the only one who went out shopping to buy them presents aswell....
When I tell them I REALLLY DON’T like it they’re getting offended and I’m feeling really bad. But no wonder why they needed to save some money, what they brought my brother was way too expensive!
This really sucks because my sweet sixteen also sucked (nobody turned up at my party) I thought christmas would have been better.

Answer 1

I'm so sorry :(

must be hard.

just let your parents know you would appreciate it if you were treated like your little siblings. Don't act afraid, they will see that as a weakness. Let them know you would think it's fair if you got a hundred dollars (or more) to go shopping with since your Christmas presents and sweet 16 sucked. Just be firm with them and everything should work out.

Happy Holidays!

Best of Luck to you

Answer 2

I know how that feels. But i usually feel unwanted when my parents say i'm going no where good, or call me a whore or hit me. Not because i didn't get the gift i wanted. I'd be happy to get something. You never know, they might be saving up to get you that some other time. And i'm sorry your sweet sixteen didn't turn out the way you wanted it too. But think for just a second, about the other kids who never get anything. ever. I learned about kids in Uganda, it changed me. I learned about the Invisible Children foundation. If you haven't heard of them then you should look them up. These kids get nothing for xmas and they don't complain. They are an inspiration and we should look up to them. I hope that you get ur present you want and that you forget your jealousy enough to remember how good your life really is. Not to sound mean or anything, good luck with all. =D

Answer 3

At least you got something. A lot of children get NOTHING during the holidays and appreciate being with their family. Don't you know what Christmas is really about? Your 16 years old, grow up. You sound ungrateful and shouldn't be jealous. Completely heart broken? Are you kidding me? You should've got a lump of coal.



I'm 13 and I'm shocked that someone would complain about a GIFT that wasn't necessary to be given.

Answer 4

Just ask them if they could buy you a keyboard with my futures on in because it was really the only thing you wanted for Christmas. That keyboard looks like it cost more than $15 though, so maybe it was a few hundred.



I'm the same way and I never get presents, but I'm the youngest and my parents think I ask for too much so I end up getting nothing.

Answer 5

do they even make keyboards like that anymore ?

if i got that (only that?) i would be sad

some people might think your just being selfish

but its not like all of ur family got the same price spent on presents

maybe they are trying to teach you that life isnt very fair or something like that

i think you should just tell them that u feel hurt and that they dont care about you because ur sister and brother got so much more effort put into buying their gifts



good luck (:

Answer 6

i would be so mad to. the same thing is happening to me. i wanted an open holed flute for christmas which was around $700 and my parents are like no your not getting it. its to expensive and its not like we don't want to get it for you but we can't. ya they cant get me a $700 flute i would use for the next 8 years of my life(im and 8th grade girl so that would be 4 years of high school marching band and collage marching band that i would play every day of my life but you can get my brother( hes 16) a $2000 dirt bike that he wil use all of 4 days a year and will be in collage after two years.

Answer 7

I would totally feel that way! i dont get half as much as my sister and it drives me crazy just keep ot to your self and then in a couple of weeks ask your mom for the piano you wanted and show her the picture and all the info.

Answer 8

aaw that is unfair that your sibs got better presants well thyier yonger so they get the best prestants, im sorry. just say well umm just talk to them and if you sound ungratful then o well maybe they though you would understand better if you diddent get the gift you wanted and maybe you can just ask them if they can take it back and you can pay for some of it and they can pay the rest?

Answer 9

yesi would be so upset.





i understand becausei ahve 2 yourger sisters 6 and 3 and they get everything i mean i understand christmas is for the kids but we are still there children and it makes us feel un important.





im so sorry:[

Answer 10

omg i feel so bad for you, i would be so pissed, ust sit them down and tell them tht u appreciate tht they thought of getting you a gift but you think its unfair tht ur siblings got a lot more than you. for all tht said christmas is for little kid i totally disagree with you.

Answer 11

I would feel the same



Talk to them. Tell them thanks for getting you a present atall (plenty of people get nothing so you should still be grateful)

And ask for the other one? and ask sinc eyour siblings got more money spent on them and you got nearly nothing?

Answer 12

Yeah, you're not ungrateful, just appreciate what you have and hope for the best next year. Sorry about the present. :(

Answer 13

I would be kinda upset too. Just flat out tell ur rentz that their being unfair.

Answer 14

Your parents may be tight with money at the moment. As the credit crunch and all. They're just not letting on, and still trying to please you as christmas as best they can.



All my best (:
