Ugh, I'm the loser of course.

I am never able to get my parents anything for Mother's/Father's day. My sister always does. She has money. She makes 4-5 times more than I do. I am always broke. A couple of years ago my dad actually told me my sister loved him more and showed him she cared about him and I didn't because she bought him gifts. Wtf? That upset me. Since when does buying someone things mean you love them more? He knows damn well I have been living on crap for money. I just started my adult life a few years ago. I am working my way up from literally nothing. I just feel bad, it just seems like she is the "it" child, and not just over that but I won't get in to it all. I grew up and have never did anything to my parents that was rude or wrong. I have always helped them when needed. I have shared my groceries, bought them breakfast from town plenty of times when my family and I went out, we would bring them something back if we had the extra money. I have lent them money, and even let them have it before. Anyways, I am just venting because I over-heard my dad saying to someone else how he would have to love having this one thing, and I would have liked to buy it for him but I know I can't. It's pretty high, but like usual I don't have the money, and please do NOT think this post is trying to get handouts. It's not at all. Not even close. Maybe I will save for Christmas or something.

Your dad sounds like an asshole. I wouldn't put in the effort for someone who didn't appreciate me like that. That makes me want to punch him in the junk.

I do realize that, he's just to particular. He wants weird things. Antiques, music type things. Things not in a dollar store. He wouldn't like anything from there. I know, it's the thought that counts, but I know he would find things like that useless. I did buy him house shoes once though. Lol

I would be lying if I said he hasn't been a huge asshole to me most of my life. This past year or so he has been okay, though, so I guess I try to look past all the crap he's did in the past.

He can't respect the fact that you're not made of money. He can't appreciate the times you have gone out of your way for him. If you want to do something for father's day, a card is enough. What a materialistic jerk. Sounds like he's only nice to you so he can get more things from you - using guilt.

Tell him the way he talks makes you feel like crap, and he sounds like a spoiled overgrown child... Well maybe just mumble it to yourself because that's a little extreme to actually say, but he sure sounds that way.
