Netizen Expresses Frustration Over Family Members Who Failed To Appreciate Gifts
A netizen has expressed their frustration after their family failed to appreciate the thoughtful gifts they had prepared.
Recently, the online community Reddit shared the post of a frustrated netizen who expressed their disappointment over unappreciated family gifts. The post garnered various reactions from the online community.
The netizen shared how they had put effort into choosing meaningful presents for their loved ones, only to face negative reactions. For their sibling, they bought a portable JisuLife fan, thinking it would be useful, especially during a vacation.
However, instead of being thankful, the sibling complained that the gift wasn’t equal to the shoes they had given in return. The netizen explained that they never asked for the shoes and had even planned to pay for one of the pairs since it was just a “pasabuy.”
The netizen’s father was unhappy with the clothing they received, specifically a pair of shorts. The father insisted on exchanging them for something else, even if it meant going out of the way to do so.
Feeling disheartened, the netizen expressed regret, saying they wished they had spent the money on themselves or on people who would truly appreciate their efforts.
Some internet users shared similar stories about feeling unappreciated by their families during gift-giving occasions, while others suggested focusing on people who show gratitude.

“Will Never Buy Gifts for Family Again
Iritang-irita talaga ako these past few days. Bibigyan ko ng JisuLife yung kapatid ko since pawisin siya at para may magamit siya habang nakabakasyon siya rito. Ang comment ay lugi raw siya sa regalo ko kasi binilhan niya ako ng mga sapatos. Unang-una, hindi ko naman hiningi yung isa pair. Pangalawa, yung other pair ay pasabuy at babayaran ko rin naman.
Ngayon naman ay yung tatay ko nag-iinarte dahil sa damit. Ayaw niya raw ng shorts na binili ko. Sinabi pa na ipapalit na lang kung saan nabili kahit malayo. Sana ginamit ko na lang sa sarili ko yung pera o kaya sa ibang tao na makaka-appreciate.”
