[QUOTE="New Leaf, post: 674806, member: 19522"] I don't know if I should answer this cause I am feeling kind of bah humbuggy over the whole consumer push to buy, buy, buy. Okay I will answer. I would return the gifts. Maybe save one. I know other folks have given practical things, a warm coat or such. Giving should be a pleasure, not an expectation of another. Swearing and disrespect of ones parents is unacceptable. Period. If you are not a f....ing family, then what does he expect of you? You are not family because you will not fund his lifestyle anymore? He is 44, I know some 44 year olds who are [I]caring for their elderly parents[/I], Sad. I do not want to offend you Sad, but your son is a full grown man, behaving like a child throwing tantrums. I say that because my d cs can be the same way. It is abusive to us, and themselves actually. I have done my child rearing and obligatory gift giving. If my adult children do not respect me and treat me with loving kindness, so be it. I am not a rug to be tread upon by someone I gave my heart to all the years of raising them. Heck, even my good kids will not get much, times are hard! We are focusing on enjoying a day off together, and sharing a meal. Okay, nuff said, boy and I are going hiking to get our Charlie Brown Christmas tree! Take care Sad, and focus on YOU. Don't buy into the tantrums. Our adult d cs need to learn to fend for themselves, we will not be around forever to do it. By giving him his wings, you have already given him the best gift ever. (((HUGS))) leafy [/QUOTE]
