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.

Send a thank you note including a pic of you watching a dvd on the new tv. one of those dvds.
 In fact, make the note like a postcard and mail it to them at their places of work.

My two aunties still talk about my mum like she's their baby sister. I am also the baby of my family.

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".

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! |

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?
 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.

You're lucky Sheldon. Enjoy it and be thankful. Plenty of people don't have a family to care for them, let alone give then presents just because they feel like it.
Very lucky man.
