Couple of days ago my mom called me at 7am (doesn't she know I still sleep at that time?) to ask me what I wanted for christmas. I told her I had no idea. Now I have to come up with something within the next couple of days. It can be anywhere in $100-$200 price range (last year I got an x-box + game). Any ideas, cuz I'm out.

You might be joking but I might actually ask them for that. I really can't come up with anything and I certainly don't want anything I won't need.

Problem is I can't come up with anything. Hence, I need ATOT to help me.

If you are 22 its time to stop leeching off your parents, tell her to keep the money and spend it on herself.

It's a christmas present for crying out loud. How is that leeching? I usually get them a pretty good present myself.

Is it just me or do you guys feel bad about telling/asking your parents to actually get you something for these occasions? I started feeling this way when I started college. I don't even want birthday presents from them anymore... a simple dinner is fine.

Hey - this actually sounds like a good idea. I might ask them for some kind of sports paraphernalia.

You don't give them birthday presents? I'm pretty sure that even once you hit adulthood, exchanging gifts with your parents at Christmas is normal.

Why has reading comprehension at AT gone down the crapper lately? I think it's the annoying ads at the top, side, and bottom that's giving members shorter attention span.

I guess "don't you give them birthday presents?" would have been a better way of putting it. My point was that you give your parents bday presents so there is no need to feel bad about getting bday presents from them.
