13-year-old pressures friend into spending $80 on her birthday present after she told her she can only afford to spend $40-$50: ‘Keep in mind, we are not that close of friends.’

This girl needs to stop being so picky and start being grateful. You can’t expect your acquaintances to get you a spectacular birthday gift.

«The gift card was going to pay for new tires»: Selfish boss opts for office Christmas party instead of gift cards despite that being what the majority of employees wanted

When I was a kid, I was given very clear instructions before birthdays and Christmas morning. My parents would always give me and my sister «the talk»: The «no matter what you feel about the gift, say thank you and don’t tell them if you don’t like it» talk. It is so important for people …
