>>10766427>tl;dr Ask for nothing, but I never had a choice to begin with. Also, I should probably get a blog.For my 18th year Christmas, I was gifted a to-do list of chores. That day I swept the floors, trimmed the shrubs around the front, pruned the trees in the yard and after all that I was gifted a 5 $1.00 bills and was told to use them to get some milk and to return the extra.
The year before I got a pack of socks and a gift card for some fast food restaurant (I forget which one).
The previous year was shirts and the year before were shorts.
I still wear all of these clothes.
Anon, I am jealous for you getting a luxury that I never had. Let your 18th Christmas be as you wish, but if I were you, I would ask for nothing, there are no free lunches on this planet and parents expect to be repaid once you grow up (at least my mother does, for my birthday, I had to give her $7000, this Christmas, I expect my father's medical bills from his stroke).
Anon, I had a GPA of 4.0+ in high school every year, what you say changes nothing.
Sorry to be a doomer, but my mother said that I was deserving of being kicked out of the house this week and that I did not deserve even the clothes that she gifted me in years passed. I suppose that she is right. I only stay home because college is much cheaper that way.
