I'm sorry for filling up forums with mt whining. Honestly, I don't even want anybody to post... I just want to be in a secluded little box of my own... Buy the point of threads is hvig people comment. I feel incredibly spoiled. First of all, when my dad told me he'd buy me a laptop I wanted for three years, I got my hopes up. I shouldn't have. Now I'm disappointed an heartbroken. It's not because of this cheap material. Noooo. It was that when I heard my dad promise me something, I looked forward to it. I guess I understand why people say promises were meant to e broken. Anyway, today, I did get somethibg SIMILAR to what I wanted. It wasn't a laptop though. It was an iPad. My dad DID tell me to call him after I received it, I was too busy doing homework to go downstairs, so my nanny did. I know, spoiled. My concentration was too badass to be interrupted. As I was saying, I did feel SLIGHTLY disappointed. I called my dad like he asked, and he asked me if I liked the new 'laptop'. I told him it was OKAY, and that it wasn't a laptop. He then raged and told me I shoul be grateful. The pricetag was on the bag and it said 1000MOP. And MOP is cheaper than USD. The laptop I currently had was worth 9,000MOP and was infected by viruses and crap. All my classmates have laptops/computers worth more. I didn't want more, but I felt left out. That's normal for a kid. I didn't say anything else, but when my dad raged, my disappointment grew. The iPad was generation 1, and he had the decency to insist that it was a generation 3. The ending? He told me I should've said thank you and that the school I attended was crap then we hung up. Like he knows... He never paid for my school fees... I just felt like venting so I wouldn't be even more depressed later in the afternoon. You could say that it's been years since my dad gave me a birthday present, or even attended by birthday parties. Or remember it anyways. I remember once when he dropped a package at our frontdoor two weeks after May 19 and it didn't say "Happy late birthday". It said 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY, HERE'S A CAKE AND I WISH YOU HAVE A WONDERFUL BIRTHDAY'. He keeps on insisting that I'm 12 and in Grade 7 when I'm not. I guess you could say I didn't expect much before but suddenly did and got something the opposite if what I wanted. Three years of hoping. ----- Sorry. I just felt extremely uncomfortable. Hate and trolling is okay, no pity. I just wanted to vent so I won't wallow in self pity.
Obviously, she likes the iPad but she really was looking forward to a laptop. She enjoys the iPad but it's not exactly a laptop. .-. well, that's what I got out of it._.
I guess you're right. I don't understand why you get a new laptop/iPad and are disappointed. But whatever, it's cool
In a context, sure. But when you take time and effort to understand, then no. So before you tell me it's first world problems and decide to point that out, I know what I'm saying, thank you very much.
