how much do your parents spend on you?!

[edible]

yh, title ^ :)

mine about £350-£400 roughly.
you?

[.L!nK.]

It really depends on how often.

If i went shopping with my mum she'll spend a good 200 for that 'day' only.

[PaulMacC]

A good lot.
Like £1200 last year for my PC and Wii
This year like £800

[Asher]

SPOILT BRATS!!!!!!

WELL, now that i'm edging towards getting that much older, I tend to only get around £100 spent on me. It's usually me who has to fork out all the cash to buy the folks presents. :rolleyes:

I miss the days of getting hundreds spent on me.

ditto to that. i don't really get presents either, i just ask for money so i can buy waht i want.

in my honest opinion anything about 250 is extorniate. it's one day a year, and i'm sure if they wanna give you like 800 as someone said above, it'd be far more sensible & practical to spread that 800 over a year. the phrase "more money than sense" springs to mind.

[FlyingJesus]

Errm like £50 :S I don't see the need for parents to spend such massive amounts of money when they already feed house and clothe us.

[Jordy]

Well this year I was informed I was getting £75 which I think has gone down dramatically so I'm going to have put together everyone's money to be able to afford the Xbox 360 I want...

I don't see why it's gone down, my Dad now gets paid a little more at a better company, and my Mum got a promotion to manager? :P

I do get spoilt with designer clothes by my mum, but frankly I'd rather I got a better Christmas present.

[Nemo]

Dont be spoilt jordy

I'd get about £30/40. Im happy coz im not exactly rich but any amount from my mum is good.

[Energizer]

400 ish

[Matt.]

:O, some of you lot get loads! I get round £150-£200.

[benjamin]

too much..

my mum is getting me a 360 elite, and even though she's said she isn't getting me anything else, i know she will.

i don't like it i feel bad lol

[jesus]

Errm like £50 :S I don't see the need for parents to spend such massive amounts of money when they already feed house and clothe us.same cept i get about £250 or just whatever i want as long as its not a stupid amount

[mangle]

Like a big prezzie that is 120 quid and lots of little ones that my mom gets from the staff shop from boots :]

[Immenseman]

Probably around 250-300, like around £150 each from each parent.

[Moh]

Well now im just living with my mum I get around £500. My PS3 this year was £420 without games etc.. and she dosn't like to buy me just one pressent, so im sure she will top it up to about £500 this year :p

[adidas™]

ive had little over a grand spent on me from mum n dad before, but usualy its about 600ish

[Asher]

I feel sorry for your parents =[[[[ after christmas it'll be like:

o *Text Removed* I now need to pay off my 493020 credit cards

Edited by mat64 (Forum Super Moderator): Please don't be rude.

[Jordy]

Dont be spoilt jordyNo it's just the fact it's gone down for no apparent reason I've been told. If I got £75 every year I wouldn't mind, it just disappoints me as I knew what I wanted but now I'm going to be squeezed for every penny to buy what I wanted.

[cocaine]

some of you are actually so spoilt.. most ive ever been spent on is around £250

[Stoosh937]

Wow.

If my mum has been doing overtime.
I get £100.

And my dad always gives me £100.

They are split up, So this year about £200.

If they were together it would be halfed though.

Some people with £500??

Sorry, But that is spoilt.

I live in a rough area, I see my dad twice a week, And my mum works her socks off to keep this house running, and some times struggles with bills, Sometimes I treat her to takeaways out of the money I make.
And she never asks for a lot off me, when i have a wodge of money.

So therefore I am grateful for ANYTHING I get.

Also, I only have 3 other relatives buying for me.

So i dont get that much actually.

The rest of my family are dead =/

So you get spoiled all year round and you still want a better present?
:rolleyes:

Anyway, £100-200 usually.

[edible]

some of you are actually so spoilt.. most ive ever been spent on is around £250
if i'm one of the people considered to be spoilt, i wouldnt think of myself as spoilt tbh.

[alexxxxx]

£100-£150.

I think anything above £200 is too much.

[dirrty]

last year my dad gave me £100 and my mum bought me a laptop. so it varies every year i guess.

but i think its stupid how kids use christmas as an excuse to rince their parents dry. its a known fact that too many people spend too much money at christmas that is needed, hence why the news is always going on about how families are in debt after christmas. im grateful for whatever my parents give me, as im like that. if i was given
£10 and whatever, ill be grateful as throughout the whole year, im giving what i need and want to some extent. the original meaning of christmas now-a-days has just totally gone out of the picture, and its just about getting presents :/

[Jordie]

around £300

[edible]

before anyone calls me spoilt, the reason i get alot of money spent on me is because during the year, most of the things bought for me, and bought by myself, with the money i earn.
so yeah, they like to treat me i suppose :)

my parents dont go into debt, lol.
and im grateful about everything my parents do for me, and buy for me.
and also, i agree about the last bit..it's all about presents tbh.
it's suppose to be about the birth of jesus, and a day with your family.

[Ostinato]

I used to get £500 then other stuff too...

But my little brother is here this year so obviously finances a re a bit tighter so my mum & dad said they can spend £300 on a main present for me then like extras and stuff as well...

I told them no and I feel really bad taken their money but they insist as their proud of me doing well in my exams lol.

[kk.]

100-150.

jeees some peoplegetting 1000! :O id be happy with 200 if i was allowed that much.

100 - 150 is riht for me because i dont really want that much as i et older..

it wasnt aimed at you btw, just a generalisation rly. yh, i just dont like how some people virtually demand certain things for christmas when the true meaning of christmas is totally irrelivant to their actions.

[Lubricant]

some of you are actually so spoilt.. most ive ever been spent on is around £250

Ditto.

I'm have two sisters so my parents spend £100 on each. Once they spent £400 on me cos they bought me a laptop.

[Bethanie]

£600+ :]

[Kewl]

Mine don't really have a "limit" I think... it could be low or high if I don't need anything it'll be low

[Jõnathan]

I've just LOL'd at everyone calling others spoilt brats - I have a fine example of someone who IS a spolit brat - he gets £400 / week just because his dad owns a company in Birmingham. About everyone in the school hates him. I'm not joking at all.

And for me - dunno, changes every year.

[Neversoft]

Well, since my parents are divorced I get £100 from my dad and £100 from my mum. So thats £200 from my parents altogether. Although I have gotten more before.

[Wootzeh]

£200-400.

[NintendoFreak]

Around 150-200quid i got a wii and a game last year for mane present then my stocking fillers (lmao im 15) are around 20quid. but this year I wanted to be suprised so I aint said what I want, Ive dropped hints I want a few DVD'S that about it. A girl in tear 9 called me poor becuase I get £200, becuase she gets £1000 spent on her grrr shes so up her own ar--

[Pazza]

I get £300, but usually spend it all in one go.

Sometimes they go up to £350 If i plead =)

[Awfy]

My mother bought me a 2 week Holiday down to Cornwall to see my misses. God knows how much it was, but I checked up a little and the flights are about £300 return. Then the Rented Cottage for the two weeks was around £400. So near the £700 for that. Then I have £150 for spending while I'm down there.

Good to know mum approves of a girlfriend for once :P

I can share that experience with you mate - some girl at my school is the generic spoilt brat: only child, and has a very short temper if she doesn't get what she wants.
I hate those :rude::rude: brats!!!

[BowTies1]

after reading this i feellsorry for my parents lol when i get my presents at christmas now im going to be worring how they got it :P

[Awfy]

Lol :P

I'd just go down the road =)
600 miles is quite a distance to walk...

[&]

bout 500 last year.

i asked for nothing this year tbh.
id rather buy the stuff i want myself.

[womanizer]

£25


:)

[Smits]

200 -300 pound

[lew!]

this year ive had £800 spent on me, just because we got a new housen and ive always had to share bedrooms with my bro an hes moved away so my mum has done my bedorom up, but usually i get about £100, I dont feel the need they should spend that much, sure im happy but seeing as they feed me, pocket money ect, id be happy with just some food on the table every night. And my dad about £150..

[Kalk]

To be honest, I couldn't care less if my mum spent £20 on me or £2000, it's the fact that I'm with my family for a great day is the true message of Christmas..
*Emotional*

[shiver]

£300-£400

[Neil]

This year probably like £200 just on me
My bros probably like £150 each (I have 3 bros)

That seems unfair to you but if you knew what we all got the rest of the year it makes sense (I buy my own games/DVDs etc. and my mum buys me plain clothes, mostly black stuff because I hate having "Nike" or something is like size 72 font on my chest
And my parents buy everything my bros want so I get more at christmas

Also getting a Wii as a shared thing

[Shawnstra]

if u convert to pounds about 200 pounds only :(

[Metric.]

like 1500?

[d17c]

Last year, about £10. This year, nothing, even though my mum's spending hundreds on my sisters presents...

[Asher]

like 1500?

;llllllllllllllllllllllllll

[Mexam]

Varies every year.
Sometimes 2k, sometimes only £500...
Well, this year my parents better get me a 2k present, otherwise ill make them feel bad

Rofl, guys im joking.
I usually get stuff through the year
Nintendo DS, new watch, all throughout the year
which is why this xmas im getting £40 xD

[Mexam]

Rofl, you're not rich buddy.

[Recursion]

this year I got about £600 spent on me because of my New PC and some games, (I put about £200 towards my PC so £800 :)), But usually I get probably £200 MAX spent on me. But I would count it as my August Birthday/Christmas Present because I didn't get anything at all on my Birthday apart from about £100 to put towards my new PC, the other £100 is pocket money saved up over like 5 - 10 months

[wicked!]

My dad is a pilot and my mum is a doctor so they r very rich

Last year they spent £5000 just on me

Not sure about this year cos all ive asked for is a new ipod, tv, ps3, wii, 360 and stereo :S

[Recursion]

your such a spoilt bratt :rolleyes:

Looking at most of the posts here, i'd say most are either fake or people who are actually spoilt. I used to think of myself as spoilt but I guess not :rolleyes:

[reindeer.]

[FlyingJesus]

I have a really good idea that should be applied to all over the forum.

When people post stuff that's obviously lies/trolling, just leave them to it rather than making yourself look stupid by arguing with them.

[Recursion]

ok mr Jebus sir :(

[wicked!]

I was just posting ** like most other people are in this thread

This year i'm getting an ipod nano from my parents, when i ask for something expensive I offer to put money towards it

Edited by A4AOwen (Forum Moderator) - Please do not avoid the forum filter.

[partie2]

wow some of you are so spoilt and ungrateful for what you get for christmas, I get around £100.

[Mitch4?]

Normally i get around £300-£400, but last year i got in the region of £800.
I tell them not to spend much cause it isn't gonna' make me love you.
and that makes them buy me more?! annoying tbf.
I'd rather prefer it it on christmas, i say got 2-3 presents for like £10 and just spent the money on doing the house up or something.

[The Don]

usually £300-£400 but this year they spent around £550 on me they said

[graffiti]

[spot.]

and there different amounts rofl
liar much?

[RichardKnox]

I dunno how much on average.
Last year I got a £700 laptop, I paid £100 and didnt get many birthday presents. To be totally honest I don't care how much my parents spend on me, I'd rather just have a good day with my family.
I think my dad wants to make me and my brothers christmas mega special cause his family was poor growing up.

[Implosion]

£100. - £150.

[-Sweex]

dont no and im not bothered it the thought that counts not how much it cost

[OmgitsAmanda]

I get £150 spent on me, but thats excluding clothes money (around £100 for clothes).

[Agent 47]

Usually about £150 from my Mum, but this year I did well in prelims (mock exams) so it's £200 towards the laptop I've been saving for. What I get from my dad varies quite a bit. Several years ago he gave me £200, last year I got nothing, it depends if he is working or not.

[Describe]

It's been around £500 this year.

[Eamonn]

this yearr my budget is £250, it ranges though, last year it was £300 and the year before £500 (because i got a wee puppy).

& no i'm not spoilt, it's not my fault my parents can afford to buy me expensive things and when they offer to buy me expensive things, why say no? :S

[Alkaz]

Normally £150 from parents and £100-150 from relatives.

This year parents cant get my sis and bros nothing cause cost of things sky rocketing but still getting around £200 of stuff which will be junk if i can guess correct.

[TidgyPie]

i had £1700 last year xD

this year i dont know how much but i know roguhly what im getting,

PS3, GAMES, DIGI CAM, LAPTOP, NEW PHONE [AGAIN], STRAIGHTNERS, ETC ETC


;]

[:Liam]
