[quote=Anonymous]An umbrella and an ugly sweater from my parents for Xmas when I was around 8-10 years old. I am an only child and that was all I got for that Xmas. I only have 3 memorable Xmas gifts from my parents growing up; one year a Little baker oven, one year a bike, and the worst year ever with the umbrella/ugly sweater.  Despite being upper middle class, my mom was never much of gift giver to me. I think she is making it up for her grandkids considering she over buys for them.

Needless to say, when I turned 15 I immediately got a work permit to get a job and be able to buy my own clothes and things. I saw another thread about when you realized life isn’t fair. I realized at 8 years old when my best friend/neighbor had a record player in her room, toys, games, etc. I so wanted my own record player to listen to music, but I had to wait until 15 when I got a job and had my own money.

Other bad presents are silly decoration trinkets I often get from friends/family members (e.g. ceramic pumpkins, etc.) I don’t have any room in my small house to put or store these things so they just go to goodwill. [/quote]
