Today, it was my brother's birthday. I was short on money but got him a present anyway. After opening it, he looked at it and said, "I didn't really want this." FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, it was sister’s birthday. I decided to give her money instead of a present, because I couldn’t come up with a gift idea. When she opened the envelope and took the $100 out, she looked at me and asked me if this was the best I could’ve done. FML
Today, I turned 22, without anyone wishing me a happy birthday. In fact, the only phone call I received all day was from my brother. He wanted to borrow money. FML
Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML
Today, my brother mentioned my dad's birthday party. I said, "What party?" He said, "Shit, forgot I wasn't supposed to tell you." My own father doesn't want me at his party. FML
Today, I carefully wrapped my nephew's birthday present so it would look perfect. He thanked me, pushed it aside, and spent the next two hours pretending the empty cardboard box was a spaceship. FML
Today, it was my birthday. I finally got the PS3 I've been asking for, for a long time. When I opened the box, I didn't find a PS3, but a bunch of clothes that my mom put in my brother's PS3 box. FML
Today, my younger brother decided it would be fun to slam a door on my hand while I was holding my brand new $200 cell phone that I got for my birthday. Nothing says Happy Birthday like a broken phone to go along with a broken hand. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My girlfriend gave me the present she'd bought for me. I said, joking, "I hope it's not a tie!" It was a tie. FML
Today, I bought my son a nice car for his 18th birthday. When I gave it to him, he just got mad and told me that if I really wanted to spend that much money on him, I should've used it to help him pay for college. FML
Today, my brother finally paid me the $60 he owed me. I later found out that he'd stolen those $60 from my wallet. FML

My sister is the same way. She either ends up breaking the things I get her or doesn't use them.

If OP were loaded he or she wouldn't have to buy him a gift. He sounds like an ungrateful brat.

Yea too bad money can't buy manners. That would have made the perfect gift

Next year, just give him a card. No point in wasting money on ungrateful people.

Or better yet nothing! At least you tried OP!

Actually, when you give him nothing, when he complains, tell him " Don't worry, you wouldn't have wanted what I'd have gotten anyway."

It's supposed to be about the gesture but sadly he doesn't know about manners and how to appreciate things from your family

What did you get him?

You could've ask to give it back and tell him that you will exchange it for something he wants. Get a refund. And. Don't buy anything else. Sorry about the ungrateful brat.

He needs some common cents and should be grateful you got him anything. Some people don't understand how fortunate they really are..
