Anyway, I did some Black Friday shopping online today. I'm honestly not a huge fan of consumerism, but my parents want to get me gifts and I feel it'd be wrong of me not to gift anything back. So, I got a bunch of things on sale that my parents needed anyway (like towels and slippers because both of those things have holes in them). Only downside is that I had to ruin the surprises because they were actually going to buy the stuff themselves.
I suppose I'll get my sister a cheap gift like fern46 was suggesting. Not sure what to get though. I'll have to think about that. Maybe makeup stuff, like a $20 gift card to Sephora. She'll probably be pissed though. She demands expensive gifts even though she doesn't reciprocate, not even partially. I am afraid she is going to go bankrupt when she moves out on her own in a few months, but my therapist said not to feel guilty for refusing to help out because she knows better and needs to start respecting people more.

Glad your feeling better
You know it sucks that your sister is like this. I just don’t understand expecting expensive stuff from others ...
This time of year I legit feel sorry for men .. every freaking jewelry commercial try’s to make men... well women too feel guilted into spending money they don’t have to prove how much they love someone. Makes me furious.
I had a “friend” in high school that bought everyone gifts ( showing off) but she complained to me about all the gifts she received being junk. I said this is why I just bake cookies for gifts.. but I’m sure you complain about my gift so whatever .. but hey you ate them. LOL !
I hope you do stick to your guns and give her something small she needs to grow up. Maybe give her just a fruitcake ! lol
