[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the oldest of four and when I started college my parents told me that I'm an adult and would no longer get Christmas presents. I came home that first Christmas on break and watched all my siblings open presents for a couple hours with not a single gift for me. I had used money from my part time job to get presents for each of them. It was really hurtful, so the following years I went to celebrate Christmas with my boyfriend and his parents (who did include me). A few years later my siblings hit college age. I expected the same rule would apply to them. But my parents decided it wouldn't feel like Christmas if they didn't give presents, so they kept getting presents for my college-aged siblings. It was super screwed up. So whatever you do, don't do that. Think about a long term plan that works fairly for all of your kids.[/quote] Wow, that is awful. Sorry PP, I hope Christmas is better now.[/quote]
