It's my birthday tomorrow and I'm at a loss.
I'm celebrating on Tuesday because of a number of things that came up, but...
My parents keep haranguing me about what I want for my birthday. I have no clue. And they have no clue. I don't know what I want.
My mom asked me if I just wanted money or a gift card.
NO. Money is a bad gift from your parents. Relatives, it's okay. Otherwise, I think it is a terrible gift. Gift cards are a little better--since then one knows that one's parents know things that one likes--but still, I don't want to feel guilty. Either I'll look at the amount and think, "Gee, thanks a lot for the 'generous' gift," and feel guilty for being a selfish prick who doesn't deserve a present, or I'll look at the amount and think, "Wow, I can't believe they gave me this much." Then I'll feel guilty for spending it.
Oy.
Any suggestions about what I should request?
