19/f and my brother is 7.
For Christmas my parents usually spend the same amount on both of us. My parents told me that as long as I'm living under their roof, I'll have a Christmas, which I appreciate greatly; even though Christmas isn't about gifts. It's still good to recieve stuff when you don't have the money to afford it for yourself.
Well anyways; my brother wants junk. Every year he askes for stuff and he either breaks it after a week, or doesn't play with it after a couple of days. They spent $560 dollars on him this Christmas.
Well, for my Christmas, I wanted a Yorkie, A laptop, a Camera, and a stocking (those are my favorite)
and my boyfriend and my parents split the yorkie (150 a piece) and my mom and dad said thats all I'm getting for Christmas. Which is cool, I love my puppy; but I don't see thats fair; or maybe I'm over reacting. I'm a college student, and I don't have my own computer; its my parents and I'm limited to 30 minutes a day; including when I have to do homework; so I'd really like a laptop to help me with school work; so I don't have to rush to write papers, ect. I told my mom, I'd be happy with a 320 dollar laptop from Walmart, and thats it for christmas; and the laptop along with the dog, doesn't even cost more than my brothers. This is something I could use for many years, not just a couple of weeks.
Any suggestions? If I'm over reacting, please let me know. (link)

At this point you need to start asking yourself why you're upset? Are you really upset because it's not fair? Or is it because now it's his turn to be the only kid in the house? You are 19 years old. If you want something, you should be saving up your money to get it for yourself. It seems like it's not their priority to shower you with everything you want at Christmas anymore, and it shouldn't be. You are not a child, are you? It's time to be appreciative of what you DO get and have, instead of comparing it to a 7 year old kid and feeling wronged because they didn't give you enough. If you want something, work to get it yourself.

This is why your answer was a 1;
First off, my dad will NOT allow me to have a job. Since I'm a fulltime student, he says I need to focuse on school, and not working.
Second off, I've tried doing things for other people so they'll pay me, but when they do my dad makes me give the money back to them, or keeps it for himself.
It has nothing to do with being 19 and unappreciative. It's the fact that I'm asking for something that I need for college, and they are the only way I can get it.
And last but not least,
my dad just recently got him a laptop on Saturday; and I have no access to it at all, along with the regular computer we do have.
All this information that I'm telling you was included on the question itself. Thanks.
