[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Does anyone else have parents who ask for outrageous gifts on father's and mother's day? My parents are getting on my last nerves. This is a regular thing for them. When I was in college I was told 'your mom would like a iPhone for Mother's day'. I was making minimum wage then. I couldn't afford an iphone for [i]myself[/i], but you want one? Now father's day is up and I'm comfortable but not 'Your father would like a Rolex' comfortable. Keep in mind my parents have been UMC my whole life and [b]the things they can afford at their current point in life I cannot afford at my current point in life.[/b][/quote] Just tell them this. If they cannot accept it, they are crappy parents. [/quote] Oh I have. We've had conversations over the years about my financial position (I've never asked them for a dime to pay my mortgage, car note, expenses etc). But its like whatever I say just floats over their head the next time we meet.[/quote]
