I want to start making my own lolita accessories and maybe clothes when I get better, but my mother was the one shopping for the machine and I didn't want to demand anything specific in case she couldn't find it; I've heard that the new Singers aren't highly spoken of because they use too much plastic?

Well I got $75 worth of Barnes & Noble gift cards, so I have about five books on the way to my house.

My mom and dad got me a bunch of little trinkets and a couple pairs of clothes. The biggest gift I got was this stand alone vanity mirror, because I have no full-length mirror in my room. At first I thought "Ugh" because I have NO space in my room for this shit, but then they pointed out that it can be taken off the stand and mounted on a wall. The coolest thing about it is that there's a key which unlocks the mirror, and on the inside there's shelves and hooks to hang rings/jewelry. I want to loli it out and keep all of my fragile frilly stuff in it. I'll probably keep my weed in there too.

A few weeks prior to this my parents actually gave me a new camera that I picked out and $150 to go shop at the mall. So it's been a good year.

Also my on-and-off bf claims he got me something lolita related. Although I'm kind of nervous it will be something ita...

As for Christmas I got a lot of more practical things, like a new GPS (perfect for traveling to cons tbh), because I tend to buy my own stuff nowadays if they're "nerdy" and my friends I share hobbies with will give me presents like that too. I asked for money to fund that kind of stuff and got a couple checks which I'm really happy about. It was a nice relaxing day.

Not sure if you're the brat anon or someone else, but once you get past a certain age you should be old enough to understand Christmas isn't 100% about the quantity of presents you get. Kids don't really understand that yet so as long as Anon isn't underage b& and their siblings are younger than them, I don't really see that as "favouritism".

I can understand having a shitty day in general, but their post just came off as particularly entitled for someone who (hopefully) is an adult.

I don't think it's entitled. Some peoples' parents spoil them until the day they die pretty much.

Claiming to have had a bad Christmas just because you didn't get the presents you wanted and someone else did is entitlement no matter how you spin it, especially if you're an adult.

It doesn't matter whether they were "young" children or not because a lot of teens are still stuck on the materialistic aspect of Christmas and look forward to presents the most. Also what >>7260081 said. If they can read, they can get kindles/nooks. It's the same as getting them a Gameboy or DS, just with books.

For the record, I'm 19, my sisters are 9 and 12.

However, my parents have always tried their best to be fair to my sisters and I for birthdays and holidays. It's always been about $60 for birthday gifts (This year I got a new jacket.) and then for Christmas it's about $150 each. So seeing them get all of that while I got so little was a big change from the usual.

But, I guess what upsets me most is how fucking spoiled they are. I worked and saved my money to buy myself every electronic I've ever owned. My gameboy color I saved for when I was only 8 years old. My Gameboy advance. My DS. My playstation. My own nook, and most of the games I've had for them. But my sisters have had everything handed to them. They've never had to save for anything, or work for anything. They don't do chores, don't even pick up their own rooms.

My parents bought both of them gameboys, DSs, and then when one of my sisters broke my DS a few years back, I had to fight to get it replaced. I spent my hard-earned money on it, so I suggested that I get theirs, because they'd broken it, they should be responsible for replacing it.

It ended up with my parents buying me a used gamestop one, which I was fine with, but I was still miffed that there were no consequences.

They bought my sisters a wii, and a PS3. They bought them games, just because they asked for them.

When I came home one day to find that they'd both gotten two new games, I asked if I could get a used game for $5 from a local used game shop, and was shot down. I was told to get a job (I had just turned 16) if I wanted something so badly.

The holidays are just a really tough time for me overall, and I will admit, the way I worded it sounded really bratty and awful. Maybe I am a brat. But it's really hard to suddenly feel like, "Well, she's an adult, so fuck her."

TL;DR it was a big change at a tough time for me, my sisters are spoiled brats, so I'm miffed.

>Maybe I am a brat. But it's really hard to suddenly feel like, "Well, she's an adult, so fuck her."

That's just growing up though, anon. Life isn't fair and some parents (whether they admit it or not) will play favorites with their children. Just realize that not going as many toys as your siblings isn't the worst thing in the world.

There's a guy I know that volunteers as a Santa at a local community center in my town. He's told my dad many sad stories about children coming on his lap and asking for their Christmas wishes. The worst I heard was about a poor little girl who just asked for a Christmas meal with her family. How many eight year-old kids do you know that prioritize food over entertainment?

it's less bratty in context, but it does make sense for parents to be able to stock up on consoles and devices for kids while they're young and going to be in the house for a few more years. i grew up playing video games in houses of my friends whose parents could actually afford them, so i'm not sure i relate well to the device envy. i do empathize with the "suddenly adult" thing, though. at this point, family just mentions my sister and i in cards, rather than sending gifts or money.

but you might not feel better about this until a few days go by, so make the best of being well fed in a warm house with internet connection, and cuddle up with something nice streaming.

Yay, Katsucon birthday buddies. Mine's the 18th of February, so it usually is on my birthday, but I'm actually a bit relieved it won't be this year.

Anyway, it sounds really cheesy, but I was really just excited to see my family. I'll probably move in with my boyfriend/perhaps then fiance after I graduate college, so this might be the last christmas with my family. I've been super homesick so it's been nice.

But all this mushy crap aside, I got pretty much clothes, clothes, and more clothes. Which is fine because I need clothes. Super cute lace dress, a few shirts, pair of jeans, and a keyboard for the ipad mini my boyfriend got me.
I got my parents the second season of American Horror Story, and Game of Thrones, despite the fact that my dad claims he had no interest after Sean Bean died.
Money from the grandparents, which is going directly towards books for next semester, applications, and if I have any left over, stuff for Katsucon cosplays.
It might be cheesy again, but I really wasn't expecting much for christmas; there was nothing I wanted, so I was more than content with everything I got.

Yo, I get that it sucks that your sisters are spoiled but that doesn't mean you can't appreciate the little things. Times have changed. A lot of kids now get everything they want at the blink of an eye and you just have to deal with it. It's annoying, yeah, but in the long run, you're going to be independent and know how to manage your money the right way because your parents raised you right.

Also, it's just frivolous luxuries. It's not like you sleep on the floor, get fed crumbs, and are dressed in rags.

My friend is in a similar situation to yours. She's 21 and has seven younger siblings. She has to give a lot of her money to buy them shit (toys, electronics) and has to give her 19 year old sister (who has a job) money for cabs to school because she doesn't want to take a train/bus. She also watches the younger kids, takes them to and from school. cooks for them, and does the majority of the housework while her sisters who are older come home at 3am wasted and their mother doesn't even bat an eyelash at them. But if my friend wants to hang out with us, her mother guilt trips her into staying home and basically running the household. Shit's crazy.

My big brother got me pic related for Christmas. I can't stop smiling.

My parents Christmas gift for the family is a big vacation they've planned for the summer. They are taking us, them, and my uncles to Las Vegas to play with heavy equipment. I'm not even kidding. The fact that a vacation experience where you drive excavators and bulldozers with your family exists is ridiculous and I am so fucking pumped. And I'll be 21 by then, too, so I'm also excited for the Vegas experience itself.

There are some educational free apps and games on tablets and phones but parents don't bother to even look for any.

Yesterday I was on line for about 20 minutes at Macy's doing last minute Christmas shopping and this mother in front of me had two boys (6-7 and 2-3) and they would not let go of her phone. They were blasting her shitty reggaeton music and playing Subway Surfers. At one point she had to use it so she grabs it and the younger one starts the most obnoxious fake crying I've ever heard. Then he starts having a tantrum and he accidentally bangs is head and the mom doesn't even flinch. She gives him the phone after a minute and he goes back to staring at the screen like a patient after a lobotomy.

Parents now see electronics as "baby sitters" and have no sense of discipline whatsoever. He's crying? Give him an iPad. She's won't sit still? Give her an iPhone. And they try to justify it with "He knows how to use my phone more than I do!" Well, duh, dipshit. Your phone is more of a parent than your so of course the kid knows how to maneuver it. Just because your kids have the knowledge to use the internet and technology doesn't mean they have the wisdom to.

Holidays have been kind of tough for me. My side of the family got me nothing for Christmas. Not even so much as a text or call wishing me a Merry Christmas. The most I got was my aunt asking me two days ago if I was coming to the family Christmas. Considering I had just confronted my father for being an abusive shit to me and my brothers for all these years the day before Thanksgiving. I really wasn't up for taking the 70 mile trek to my parents house just to look the bastard in the face all day, especially after being in a depressive slump for the past 6 months since I lost my job in May.

On the bright side, My in-laws were much nicer and I actually got to enjoy Christmas with them. We ended up doing the white elephant game and I ended up with a nice pair of memory foam slippers. My husband let me keep them since I've been having such a rough time. My sister-in-law gave me a collapsible umbrella and a nice sweater. My mother-in-law gave me $25(the same as her kids) I also got some smaller stuff from my husband's aunt's like some hair serum and lip scrub/balm combo.

and not completely Christmas related, but I got confirmation that our income was low enough that the state covered my $2,500 hospital bill from back at the end of May.

I'll be seeing friends this weekend, so we'll be doing some gift exchanging then. I'll be using the bit of cash I got from my Mother-in-law to help pick up some gifts for my friends.

So yeah, my family kind of just flipped me the bird this Christmas, but at least my in-laws and friends at least stepped up.

You know, I always see people claiming it's "outrageous" for kids barely in grade school to be getting tablets and e-readers, but to be honest I don't see it as being much different from getting consoles, handhelds, and computer games back in the 90s.

I don't think getting something hand held like a tablet, ds, or kindle is appropriate for someone under 5 unless they're supervised with it because they will beak that shit in an instant.

The thing is, back when I was in grade school way back in the 90s, very few kids in my neighborhood owned gaming consoles because video games weren't the mainstream whoring fandom it is today. I had an NES, genesis and Snes. All which were gifts in a 6 year time frame. My friend down the block had a jaguar , Saturn and N64 because he had an older brother with a job. So for the most part gaming wasn't the "culture " it is today. It wasn't common for kids in the 90s or 80s to own consoles unless they bought it themselves or had an older sibling.

But it's become all too common to see parents throwing all sorts of electronics they don't know how to use at kids under 10. The whole swap note issue on the 3ds is a prime example of kids being online and fucking shit up for everyone.

Getting a 13 year old a kindle because they like to read? Ok, sure. But I'm sorry. 4 year olds don't need tablets and iPhones and 3ds. ( all things my 4 year old niece owns btw)

As also the eldest sibling, I can assure you that it's the same in my family. Sometimes I feel as I'm the 'trial run', but meh. It sucks, but y'know, just be happy for their privileges. I don't mean to just take their bratty behaviour because I just scolded my brother for throwing a tantrum over not being able to play on his computer during Christmas... but, when my brother wanted the gift my parents got me, I gave it to him. The fact that he was so happy that I gave it to him was priceless.

And for me, that's what the holidays are. It's not so much as what I receive, because I can fucking buy it for myself anyway if I really wanted to, but the impact I make on others. Whenever my bro will play with that present I gave him, he'll think about me (I hope, at least).

TLDR; It sucks to receive less, but there is a sort of responsibility that goes with being the oldest, even if it's unwanted. The older you are, the less materialistic gifts you'll receive in my experience. I mean, what did your parents get for Christmas?

My lovely boyfriend bought me a matching Merry Making In The Ghosttown headbow (I helped him order it :)) which is really sweet of him, it should be arriving soon.

I had a really lovely Christmas. Spending the day with my family and partner was the best gift of all though. I'm moving away to uni next year so everything I was given will really come in handy which is very thoughtful.

I spoiled my partner and brother with lots of Star Wars and Pokemon gifts.

I'm >>7260580, and I'm sorry dear.

Six months back I got into a confrontation with my father as well, over essentially the same thing, though he didn't know it. I called him out for being emotionally abusive now, but I was thinking of the abuse from when i was a kid when I said it. Also he stole my car (no he didn't even give it to me in the first place it was just plain my car that I bought after I moved out with money i made working) and said it was payment for raising me and he was "planning to give it back". Eyeroll.

Anyway sorry ranting there I was trying to comfort.

Sometimes families just fucking suck, man. Sometimes it can get better (in my case we started exchanging letters after three months and now are in a much better place than we were back then), and sometimes it can't.

Either way, I hope that you continue to make choices to utilize your own happiness. If that means abandoning your old family and taking refuge in your new one... Well, isn't that the pa minor plot in of a lot of different animes, JRPGs and awesome shows? How many shows have the line "It's okay, you guys ARE my family!" in them?

TLDR: I'm sorry your family sucks, but they don't matter. You're friends and inlaws sound awesome, and I hope you find happiness.

I've never had loose-leaf tea before, always lipton tea that we made a pitcher of by putting teabags into a coffee machine and then dumped a bunch of sugar in, tastes like syrup. But this stuff is AMAZING. I got apple, peach oolong, strawberry, foxtrot, vanilla chai, earl grey bravo, and summer rose, and some of those white and amber(?) sugar crystals which I can't stop eating like candy. A friend also got me a canister of white earl grey from Teavana.

I know for sure that I'll be squandering away some of my money regularly to order tea. The flavors are all so different but they're all so good. I think my favorites are the summer rose and the apple, and I wonder what those would taste like together. Can you combine them? I only have leaves, but have you tried the bags with the full leaves inside? Are those as good as loose leaves?

Just talking about it got me really excited, oh jeez, now I have to make tea. Hope I don't wake anyone up.

>> No.7260615

>>7260610
Combining them is half the fun, for sure!!! On the website they sell blends that people make as originals. My favorite is the Mycroft blend, which was lost (coughcoughprobablythrownoutbydoucheroommatescoughcough) when I moved. :( I had a full tin. That's also what happened to my old kettle.

The amber crystals are my favorite. There are a ton of people in the reviews who confess to eating them like candy, too, haha. I haven't actually tried it, but I absolutely drown my tea in it most of the time, I have an intense sweet tooth.

I seriously was one step from spending 40 bucks just now buying a new infuser, the Mycroft tea, some more sugar (running low) and testing out a new kind. Luckily I left my wallet in the car.

Unluckily, I'll still probably buy it tomorrow. Maybe just the Mycroft and the kettle, though, nothing new. And I have honey to sweeten it.

Kids only want to play with technology items all the time if you raise them to want that. My parents bought me and my sister our first game system when I was 4, and they'd consistently buy us newly released systems and we had our own computers. I went outside, swam, and was even on my basketball team in middle school. My kids have tablets, consoles, tons of technology they can play with. They still go outside and play and have fun. We have two swings in the front yard and a trampoline in the backyard, my husband is always showing the kids tricks to do on the trampoline. My son and nephew play with legos and his Power Ranger's toys all the time, my nephew and daughter play My Little Pony together all the time.

As long as you want to bond with your kid(s) and try to do so, you'll be able to. Technology is a great tool and a great toy in moderation, and you'll be the one to teach your kids that.

Also, not cosplay, but my mom got me a Betsey Johnson coat because she thought it'd look good with lolita, which pretty much melted my heart. I mean it can't button down over the poof, but it actually looks pretty good unbuttoned and I'll still wear it when I need a heavy casual coat.

Other than that I didn't get anything, I've never celebrated Christmas with getting presents, so it doesn't bother me.

the only thing that ruined my day a bit was. when the family got together and I was dressed up in my newest lolita dress, my other grandma just took one look at it and started talking about my niece right away. she wore giant heels appearently and it looked soooo great on here!

The 'break that shit' is a big part of it. If you give an iphone or kindle to a child, it WILL get broken or,at the very least, get slavers all over it. A nintendo handheld or a sturdy phone will be fine in the hand Of a child, Easily washed, hard to break, kid friendly games (nintendo) only used for emergencies (phones).
Even when supervised, kids break things.

I got some nice headphones, a 50$ visa gift card, 100$, about 200$ worth of assorted gift cards, a ton of books, some shirts, and a slingshot!
Also various family members have decided that I REALLY like owl stuff, so i ended up with 4 owl mugs, an owl bag, and some owl socks.
I'm definitely gonna save the money and maybe sell some of the gift cards to my grandma (she sells them to people at her church) so i can get a nice dress ;u;

Ugh, this makes me sad. They're all pretty bad, though I think the one about men having to pay child support to their rapists is the worst one, I really wish female-on-male rape was taken more seriously. Well, I wish all rape was taken seriously consistently, but people are assholes.

The child support one always bugs me too, I don't understand why people don't want to try and go for shared custody more often. Yeah, sometimes a divorce happens because one of the parties is criminal scum/a piece of shit, but most divorces are just people breaking up. I think my aunt is the only woman I know who wasn't able to get custody and instead her ex was granted full custody because of his connections, although he only took one of their children. He didn't want the one with brain damage.

Men can't do whatever they want without social pressure.

Christmas was kind of stressful because my Nanna was on her deathbed. My Mum, Aunty and Grandma all spent two weeks in a nursing home with her before she passed.

I spoiled myself prior to Christmas but I got too tempted by the re-release of pic related. It ended up arriving just before xmas which was nice.

My family ended up getting me a camera tripod and a few other stocking fillers. I also got a new makeup palette from my sister and a babushka doll bag from my little brother (I have a small collection of the dolls.)

My little bro was pretty pumped because he got LEGO mindstorm and he's been playing with it non stop since.

For my birthday my bf bought me a pearl bracelet and for xmas he got me the matching earrings + Batman Origins. He was really sweet and told me that he wanted to buy me stuff that I could wear with lolita.
I ended up getting him Pacific Rim action figures and the art book.

The fuck? Seriously? Women care way more about looks than men. Most men are happy with an average girl if she shares his personality, outlook, interests etc. Women will cheat on a guy for a guy who is better looking at the drop of a hat.

Thanks. This Saturday was fun. I gave my friends their gifts and they were surprised because they weren't expecting anything. They felt bad so we'll be seeing each other again on new years eve and they'll be giving me something then. The other friend made me some comic themed lolita bows. They're kind of on the big side, so I'll probably find a way to wear them on my clothing. We're picking up her boyfriend on New Years eve, so I'll be giving his gift to him then and he should have my husband's gift.

On the plus side, I also got some nice floral fabric from the Fashion district, and some faux fur for some capelets I'm making. We also hit JoAnn's and I got the last of a fabric I really liked to make some more loli stuff with. Then we all hit a really good ramen place afterwards. I honestly don't like the ramen from Orochan in little tokyo, but this place was really good.

I see the look in the eyes of the old ladies at Joann's when I go in for materials. They don't trust me. I can tell.
No, but seriously, I don't have anything to match this. All I can say is that there's a reason why somebody might be suspicious that you're a gamer girl, and that's because gamer girls exist. "Gamer girl" is a thing for a reason. There is a reason the stereotype exists.

Strawman still has a point, whether you want to believe it or not.

I think personally that we need to get on a more equalist route in countries where women are closing the gap between men. Antagonizing each other with feminist and MRA groups won't do anything but create a lot of bloodshed and bad publicity for the things we want to propagate, so why don't we just calm down and try to work to both tangible issues and try to recognise the social pressures of being either sex as well.
