People who want to give me gifts must think that I am demanding.
I might be because I want something meaningful. Something that shows the gift-giver really knows me and puts thoughts into the gift that they give me. Am I asking too much?
It all started with my wedding. I was told that I was given something was not on my wedding registry because everything I asked was too 'high-class'. "Who does she think she is? Is she from a wealthy family?", I heard the gossip. Does it matter which family I am from? If I wanted a $200 tea pot, what did you give me a $200 gift certificates+picnic basket and table?
"I don't like what you picked on your wedding registry", I was told. Therefore, I didn't get anything from her. "What else do you want"? Isn't the purpose of having a wedding registry to give guests ideas what I want?
When I said I didn't want anything for Christmas, what did I deserve to be yelled at? So I was forced to give a list. I feel, if you don't know what to get me, maybe first you need to spend more time to get to know me instead of demanding a list from me. And if I said I didn't want anything, please don't force what you think I want to me. That is what you want but not what I want.
Really!! I have had enough of this gift-giving business.
Also, I don't buy 10 gifts from my own child. He gets one from me, one from Santa, and one from his parents. I don't feel I need to buy three for other people's each kid and then one for the whole family. I totally resent it.
Tonight is not a peaceful night.
