If your parents are wealthy like you say they are, and have no problem affording the presents, then i dont really think there is anything to worry about. If you are truely feeling guilty asking for all the presents though, i would suggest figuring out one thing you can live withough, and ask your parents to instead save the money, or donate it to charity. Good luck with your decision

If your parents are wealthy, then that is an OK list. I personally think that that is a kinda expensive list. I would probably get a digi cam that's a little cheaper to 'lessen' the load. Ask your parents if that list is OK with them. If they want you to make some exceptions, then don't argue with them and try to see their side of it. Lol, if you get all of that, I'm officially jealous! =P

If you're wealthy, and not only 4 years old that's not asking for too much. If you were asking for say a Playstation 3, Wii, iPod video, and new computer that would be way too much. Don't worry, I'd ask for about the same amount of stuff haha

I dont think its to much to ask for at all. I mean im getting my friend similar items for christmas. Half my friends ask for like 4 times that amount of things. I think that is a fine list. hope this helped.

My Christmas gifts usually end up in the $100-$200 range all together, and from I can tell you're getting close to $1,000. But how much you recieve doesn't matter. It all depends on your attitude about the whole thing. If you're worried that you're asking for too much, chances are that you're not. It shows you're worried about being greedy. If you thought this wasn't enough then yes, you would be a spoiled brat. You just happen to be better off financially then others.

From my opinion its quite a lot.
My parents are struggling right now, so I know I have to lighten my list to one or two expensive things.

But, if you're positive your parents can afford it I'd just tell them this is a list to give them ideas. That way, they'll know what you want but it doesn't sound like you're expecting all of it.

Good Luck <3

That is quite a list! But if your parents think that its too much the ywon't get you all that stuff. I could ask my parents (yes they ARE still alive) for a new hunting rifle, some t.v. dinners and a new easy chair. Thats ALOT in my family, so I just wouldn't expect to get all that stuff. Just let your parents get you what the want to get you.

Love,
Grandma Betty Louis xxxxooooxxxx

Its perfectly okay especially if your parents are wealthy. It's not like they HAVE to get everything on the list. It's just a list of some of the things that you want. I always used to ask my parents for a lot of expensive things. My lists looked much like this. I usually got one or two things off of that list and other, less expensive things that they got on their own. My parents aren't wealthy. If they were, they probably would have gotten me a few more of the things I wanted. I see no problems at all with this. People that are wealthy get more stuff. That's just the way it goes. If you didn't something would be wrong. If you're spoiled, which I don't think you are, your parents are at fault, not you. You're not spoiling yourself. Ask for what you want and let your parents do with your list what they will. You're just asking. You're not the one doing the buying. The decision is always up to your parents what they get. Good luck. :)

missadvicebitch1 answered Tuesday November 14 2006, 2:37 pm:
hey, i dont think that thats too much to ask for. thats usually around the price that i ask for each year also. if you know taht your family can afford it then go for it. but if you think that they might struggle then maybe eliminate a few things from the list. thats what i do at least.

Hm well I think that is a little too much too ask for?
You should think about what you're gonna get them.
I mean you expect them to get you all that stuff..
What have you done for them?
I think you should cut down your items on what you want for Christmas.
Just think about what your family wants before what you want.

I hope I helped.

rainbowcherrie answered Tuesday November 14 2006, 12:11 pm:
Are you serious? That comes up to $850. Now, I'm British so that would be around 450 pounds. My parents aren't exactly poor, but they usually spend a MAXIMUM of 100 pounds. This year for Christmas I'm getting a laptop, but not just from my parents, from my entire family (inc. grandparents, uncles, aunties etc).

Generally I'm a bit spoilt, but if I had a friend who got all that for Christmas from just her parents then yes, I would consider her to be a spoilt brat.
