I dont want to sound like I'm bitching at all because I have more then most people. Let me give you some background ok. I come from a very very rich family that pretty much hasn't done anything for me and all of are birthdays are around the sametime, mine is nov 4th and my brothers is the 12th well for my birthday this is what I got.
From my mother I got a office chair. $40
From my father I got a manual for my. $19.95
So together thats $59.95
My mother got my brother a PS2, two games, the second controler, the dvd remote, and the modem for it so you can play online. $435.00
My father got my brother ton of camara stuff. I don't know all the details but im sure it was at least like $200.00 worth of stuff.
So together thats $635.00
Does anyone else see anything wrong with this? This is how things have been my whole lfe. I saved and worked for my car and my mother paid for my brothers cars.....I say CARS because he crashed the first so she just got him another one. I could go on and on but I won't I just needed a place to vent.

I guess I was just a little hurt because all I really wanted was like a nice card or something but instead I get things I don't really want at all or need and they spend so much money on him all the time and I get yelled at I eat any of there food like an apple or something.

Your post obviously wasn't about materialism. It's about pain. The money thing is just symbolic of how they don't express their love and how they can hurt you in another way without being direct about it. I totally understand this. I have weird money/power/control/emotional issues with my mother as well. I know that the whole world "gets" from her, but not me. It's just another way she likes to make me feel unworthy of love.
