Today, I found out that when my parents said they couldn't afford gifts for us kids, what they really meant was that they weren't buying a gift for me. I found this out when I overheard my father telling my uncle about the things he got my siblings. FML

Today, my mom and I went to Best Buy for some Christmas shopping. She picked up some presents for me and told me not to look at what she was buying. When we got to the register, she didn't have enough money, and I ended up having to buy my own presents. FML

Today, I discovered that my parents rooted through our house looking for junk to sell at a garage sale. They sold all of my books from my bookshelf. When I freaked, out my mom said 'well you never read them'. There was about $300 hidden between the pages of those books. They made $60. FML

@ #9-Parents are obligated to feed their children and provide a roof over their heads. It does not justify stealing. It's too bad Santa couldn't bring OP a new family for Christmas.

welcome to the shitty global economy. maybe it was a matter of you getting presents and an eviction or no presents and no eviction.

There's something called "asking", and if family most would say yes, since they stole, there's lacking of morale there

Your parents are rude and sound like selfish people, why don't you move in with another family member if you have any that are willing to let you live with them?

Wow. I'd take the computer & brake it. Then if they get pissed, be like "You took MY money to buy it so that makes it MY computer so I can do what I want with it. Merry Christmas."
