Today, my 6-year-old nephew opened his Christmas gift. The first words out of his mouth were, "This is cheap." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I gave my nephew a toy car as a gift. He opened it, looked at it for two seconds, and then spent the next hour playing with the cardboard box it came in. Apparently, I could’ve saved $20 and just bought him a box. FML
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
Today, the first gift I opened was from my uncle. It was $80 in clothes that I'd bought for myself a week earlier. FML
Today, my son turned 8. We watched as he unwrapped a $55 Nerf gun, extra 'bullets', new shoes and a school bag with his favorite TV character on the front and a action figure inside. As he finished he looked me straight in the eyes and says, "That's great ma, but seriously what'd you get me?". FML
Today, my son told me the Christmas letter he wrote to Santa was a joke and he didn't want the stuff he asked for. I already bought everything. 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, I finally bought the toy my two year-old son always wanted. He would always tap on the TV when the commercial for it would appear. I gave him the gift, and he started playing with the bag it came in. FML
Today, my son was playing with a piece of plastic wrapping and trying not to let it fall to the floor as if it were a balloon. This is after he got some kick ass gifts for Christmas. Kids. FML
Today, I opened my Christmas presents with my husband. One of the things he got me was a ball gag. "Yeah," he said with a grin, "That one's more for me but I didn't wanna buy myself headphones." Cue our son asking me what it was. FML
Today, I was on the phone with my friend, when my four year old nephew came in, asking who I was talking to. I told him it was Santa Claus, so he insisted on talking to him. I handed over the phone and I hear, "Santa is fake. Grow up." I spent the next two hours with a screaming child proving Santa exists. FML

You know what else is cheaper? No gift at all. See how much he likes that.

That when the kid gets nothing all year, they will appreciate anything by next Christmas.

One less person to shop for in future.

I hope his parents at least had the decency to look embarrassed if they were present....=/

Well the question is. Is it? Hmmm... But still gotta agree. That kid sure is ungrateful. Tsk3

He's a prodigy! Some day he will grow to be a huge asshole. But seriously, he is 6. He probably just picked that up. (from you?)

The next words out of my mouth would've been, "Oh really? Well I'll just bring that back then." If he decided to act even worse there'd be no gift for him next year. I saw my sister do this when we were kids and it took all I had not to launch myself at her. Sometimes it's that best that person can afford. I would be ashamed if this was my kid!

It just amazes me how spoiled some children are. It sounds like this kid gets everything he wants and his behavior is brushed aside because it's easier than dealing with it. I wild have calmly taken it back and said to him, "I'm actually glad that you feel that way, because I didn't think you deserved it."
