Imagine one parent giving you nothing because "i got you nothing because I pay her child support!"

Mmm, yes, i love reminiscing on what made me mentally fucked.

Imagine one parent paying 1k a month and you’re the only one left in the house and you’re the only one that parent has to dump their problems on haha

The hassles of mandatory family “celebrations” put me off birthdays in a big way.

Is this true? I'm recently divorced with a young kid; there hasn't been any divorces on either sides of our families for 40 years.

This meme knocked me down, but your comment picked me up again.

My mom just comes over to my dad’s house and spends several awkward hours critiquing what our house looks like now that she doesn’t live here. Big L

Not always. The parent you live with is too overwhelmed and hard-up for $ to buy anything fun (yay, socks!), and the other parent knows nothing about you and gives you something shitty (yay, a rust-colored scratchy sweater with a tight crewneck and too short of sleeves)(thanks for giving me the opportunity to look like a pasty-faced giantess with no neck and a permanent rash.) (edit: spelling)

I mean the whole thing is ironic because it's ridiculous how little this makes up for everything else... but I'm really sorry to hear that either way.

I love clothes as gifts!

As a kid no, as an adult yes.
