I don't like my birthday gifts?

Please hear me out. I'm 14 (recently had my 14th birthday). I just feel that whenever I get a gift its not actually my gift. What I mean by that is that my parents only buy something if they can use it. I ended up getting an amazon echo but the only thing is, I'm not allowed to use it in case I "break it." So they only get things if it is useful for them or benefits them. I've never gotten a christmas present ever. I feel kind of frustrated though because most of my friends' parents earn around 80k (£) per year and they manage to get presents but my parents earn 500k per year and they are always complaining that I'm spoilt and I always get expensive things. NONE of the expensive things I own are from my parents. My phone? A used iphone 4 which I earned with my own money. My laptop? My auntie got me it? Headphones? My friends. I just feel so jealous when my friends always go on about the presents they've got whilst I'm stuck with one "present" which I'm not allowed to use and I'm not even allowed to play games with the alexa. We're going to disneyland paris this christmas but guess who saved up for ALL the tickets and parks and rides and plane journeys? Me. And apparently disney is my christmas present but technically I'm paying for the whole trip. I can only afford it because I have saved a bunch of money from odd jobs since I was around 7. But I just want one present which is actually meant for me.

Use your amazon echo anyways

Tough cheddar.

Exactly what odd jobs since you were 7? I'm 23 years old, drive a Honda, paying my way through college and still don't have enough saved for Disney world. Consider yourself lucky.

Tell your auntie what you have written here - this isn't about money at all. It's about getting a gift that someone gives outright, that you didn't work for. It's about the way they treat you.

It's none of your business what your parents earn, nor should you ever post that or tell anyone else. It's not your problem with regard to getting presents- you could get something inexpensive or even free and small, but given with you in mind and with no strings- and that would be different. Often, the best presents are something that money can't ever buy.

Talk to your auntie and tell her what's going on. Tell her you just want a gift that is actually a gift.

As for the trip to Disney, why are you paying for it? While the money you earn can be used for your family, this just sounds odd. On the other hand, at least you get to go. Remember, a lot of kids don't have a home, and if they still have parents, a lot of kids don't have meals they can count on, or a warm place to sleep. But you do have a problem. Ask your aunt to speak to them about getting you a present or two that doesn't have strings- but something a lot smaller. No one needs an Alexa, nor should you even have one- there are serious privacy issues your parents will soon find having that around, and they're open to getting hacked. Think of some examples of nice little things that might be only for you.

Maybe you should talk to your parents about it and tell them how you feel about all this

Best thing to do is to talk to your parents.

Talk to your parents. Or work to get something you want
