My dad gives Represents! (Cheap Asshole!) http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/ Course the bastard is LAVASH in his gifts to himself... http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-222463 2008-01-02 09:35:45 what's a dead woman going to do with boots''' as long as the were new, and you didn't cause a scene at your mother's party... you should talk to your dad... if you confronted him at the party... you are scum that is selfish and should be sewn shut for ruining someone's birthday. http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-222415 2008-01-02 08:38:41 Interesting story!!! Great story!!! I'm with you! It would annoy me too but I would put it in perspective. You make an effort to really try and it seems your father puts very little effort into picking a gift, virtually none. Hence, you are irritated and disgusted. Try to see, we expect others to contribute on the same level we put forth but such thinking is just not real. Life doesn't work that way and life habits/efforts are not distributed 50/50. I would take a guess that your father contributes in other ways such as providing for the family financially, just a guess. A lot of fathers are downright poor in selecting appropriate gifts and spending time in it, often they just don't place the same emphasis of importance on it as others do. Many feel less obligated to emphasize the role of gift giving as they have others to fill in. So, yes, you are right to be annoyed as hell, but I would let it slide and sometimes we just have to accept that is the way the person is, will always be, something we can't go about changing nor should you try to do so. Remember, you can't teach an old dog new tricks. http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-153645 2007-08-23 22:28:27 I think he should definitely give his wife of many years a very nice gift every year on her birthday.But as far as re-gifting to the rest of the family good for him its not like its worthless junk hes giving.You would be surprised how many people do the exact same thing. http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-153585 2007-08-23 20:43:11 yeah too bad your old man who busts his ass working everyday to feed you tries to save a few bucks here and there.he should be executed. http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-153579 2007-08-23 20:33:43 Cheap fucker How low is that' I mean even a five dollar fake necklace would be nice! jeez http://isitnormal.com/story/15139/#comment-153507 2007-08-23 18:47:42 Especially if you're a tightwad asshole.
