At what age did you stop receiving gifts from your parents? Vol. Bday/xmas

[bigsid]

It's starting to already slow down I ain't even mad though.

 

[6 Rings G.O.A.T.]

I stop getting the gifts I want.. when I started middle school..

 

[airberg]

never stop receiving gifts man

 

[Ube]

Damn more than one present for Christmas as a child? I have never heard of that.

 

[hawkflight6]

I'm 20 and I no longer get big gifts, but I still get smaller ones for every birthday and Christmas

 

[jonwin]

For birthdays, actual gifts stopped probably when I was 12. Then it became just money given to me by them 

. 

For Christmas, probably when I stopped playing with toys, it turned into just money given to me by them 

.
But these days, they happen to be both unemployed (divorced when I was 7) but still try to give me money on bdays/christmas. I never cash their checks though bc I don't have the heart to

My parents took me, my wife, my three kids, my sister, and my niece to Disney World. Paid for admission, plane tickets, and hotel. And I'm 34
My grandmother is the same way, so I don't ever see an end coming

 

[brianilla]

[three6mafia]

This pushes the wrong button in me...

One of the greatest gifts my parents have given me was created well before I was born, and that was that I was born into an environment (both household and otherwise) wherein I didn't have to worry about where my next meal was coming from, didn't have to worry about disease, didn't have any threats of violence, none of that. Sure, I've had to take some loans out to pay the way through college, but damn my parents have been there for me every step of the way. So do I still get gifts for my birthday? Sure I get little things here and there, but honestly it's the little things that are most useful that mean the most (example: this year they gave me gloves I could use my iPhone with. Probably cost <$30, but they're so dang warm and functional haha). And honestly, if they stopped giving me gives I know for DAMN sure that the lack of gifts would be in no way indicative of a lack of love. True love is so far beyond material goods. I'll stop my rant now, but there's so much more to be said...

 

[waitwut]

my parents just give me money 

they are terrible with gifts 

 

[snaggykicks]

around 15

 

[nocomment6]

I hope never. I like gifts both to give and to receive.

 

[mister916]

Stopped around my freshman year of HS and started receiving money instead.

 

[secretzofwar]

Don't think I ever will. My mom raised me and my brother all alone, so we're her life. Even when I tell her not to, she still gets me something for Easter (or randomly shows up and cooks me dinner).

When I was 14 I bought some sweats for my self in mid December. When I got home I couldn't find them and thought I had dropped it at the store.


On the 25th I saw a present from my mother to me. Guess what was inside it, guys.Last year I got any present for x mas from my mom aside from a card or something. My brother on the other hand still gets really cool gifts at age 32

 

[jking0821]

Christmas was infrequent at my house.  I think i had one when i was 10 didn't at 11 and did at 13 and that was it.

Bdays stopped when i was about 10 too. 

Raised by a single mom she did all she could to just keep a house over our heads growing up.  If it taught me anything its that these holidays are about people and just being around them more then material items.

when i was 14/15

 

[lilpro4u]

From parents, I haven't received a gift or money since 15.. I've made more money than my mom since I was 16, and she "raised" me for the most part.For my birthday, my mom would usually cook or bake whatever I want..

So in other words you don't get gifts at all?

 

[sho3tym]

My family is big into gift giving though, I buy my siblings and parents gifts as well.
