I don't know why , but as of late I've been feeling guilty on buying gifts for my family. Last year I wasn't able to do alot, but I bounced back and wanted to spoil my child and spouse. But why do I feel so bad tho. I think another reason could be my immediate family isn't so blessed this year and it makes me feel bad that my sister and cousin couldn't do that much for their kids.


But in the same instance, my grandparents have bought my cousins gifts EVERY Christmas and will do this year also but I've been on fb and see my sister and cousin posting in those "trash and treasure" groups asking for donations like gifts, blankets, etc because they don't "want their kids to go without"


But I feel like my sister and cousin is using the system because they both don't pay rent and only have a light and phone bill and are basically begging online for ppl to be all in their business. My wife is not as compassionate as I am, and she always sheds light , that they've been relying on out grandmother for years to buy gifts and they're willing and able to do so, they don't have any disabilities, and are physically functional, because they're in the club or go out alot sometimes.

God's Plan
my girl just got a new job paying pretty well about 4 or 5 months ago but when i saw how much she was spending on her immediate family, their spouses and kids, i told her not to even worry about getting me anything. she sent a pic asking what size i needed for the aqua 8's and was i sure i didnt want a ps4 :mjcry: .
