My sisters are very kind, loving pains in the ass. :-) And it doesn't bother me that I can't buy them gifts in kind. They know I love them and I know they love me. But I want them to use the money on themselves. BTW, it's not just me. They also buy and do tons of things for my nephew. Maybe moreso since he and his wife live in NJ too. Maybe being in AZ keeps me from getting even more over-gifted.

BTW pt.2 Gay porn is AMAZING on a big screen! lol!!!

They obviously think you're struggling in poverty....


.... because you can't afford to come visit them enough!!!:lol2:

Could your family adopt me?

Sheldon, you never stop being "The Baby" of the family.

I'm the youngest of 8.
I'm 37, and the oldest is 68.
I'm still "the kid".

There's 2 of them. They've had 48 years to practice what they do. It's in their culture. It's in their nature. You are the baby until your parents have another child.
You don't stand a chance - you won't be able to change them. You might be able to suggest things you would like (but then again maybe not).
The only thing you can definitely change in this scenario is yourself - just accept that's the way your sisters show their love for family.

I was there for a week in May...SO THERE!!!!!

May? MAY? Oy, that was so far back it's ancient history. After all they've done you you... but never mind... just go on having a good time. Don't give a thought to your family that's done so much for you. Yes go, don't give a thought to the ones that nurtured you, made you chicken soup, changed your diaper, sat up with you when you were sick...




:haha:

My brother stopped being my little brother by being more successful than I was (okay, so it's not hard).

Financially he's more successful than my sister too - although it's a draw with them as she has children and drives a car, so socially he's down.

I suggest you accept this as the challenge it is, get off your butt and go make more money!

You have my sisters confused with someone elses' sisters. MY sisters are the ones who poured vanilla extract on my sandwiches for school lunch, threw glass bottles at my head when we fought and called me "fucking faggot" and "Shelley" when we were kids.

might they be making up in their own way?

Oh, those sisters. Keep the TV and casually mention it could be bigger. :D

Nah. This is pretty much how my family has always been. They just take it to a new level.

it's possible they are giving you this stuff A) cuz they like ya, but B) they've had significant money for quite some time and really can't buy any more crap for themselves but they get joy from shopping. They see something and think, "sheldon doesn't have that! I can give it to him!"

they get the joy of buying it. you get the joy of receiving it. except in this case you don't want it.

Enough serious discussion. When's my free TV going to arrive? :D

So...you've hooked it up, and now see the advantage in having the ability to see a 12" penis that is pretty much life size on your TV?

I could never shake it till I made 5 times the money any of them made. Sutch is life. I am the youngest of 5. My oldest bro turns 60 next week.
