Like some of us on here, when we were kids, we didn't have the things kids have today so we actually had to go out and find our own fun. I was 3 when color TV came out and my Grandparents bought us a color TV and we thought we were in Heaven, but of course we only had 3 channels but the point is that we were more appreciative of what we did have and got for Birthdays and Holidays than most kids have been for years. We didn't have a whole lot of choices of things to get so we really didn't ever want much nor did we really miss what we didn't get

Not really or at least i don't think so. I rarely wanted something so when i wanted something thanks to my great great mother, i'd have it. However, maybe i wanted something psychologically, i actually grew up alone in the house! Mom took care of me but always being out due her works.so she's been a bit far & i actually never had a real actual father so, those days i hated to be alone but now i just want to be alone. Idk why!

Yep ... It's why I no longer celebrate birthdays or Christmas.  Tired of the disappointment and having to fake liking a gift.

When your parents buy things for you as a kid, that are necessary ... such as clothing and school supplies ... I wouldn't call them "gifts".

Yes !!! I was always told story about how my dads dad ( my grandfather ) was sooooo excited when heard I was gonna be born :) he had lots of horses and told my mum was gonna buy me a pony ... He died a few days before I was born so I never got my pony :( I love hear stories about how excited he was about me though and I feel close to him somehow even though I never got to meet him  ... And I still want my freakin pony 😡

I've always wanted the ability to choose who lives and who dies, that or a fascist cult.

When I originally yearned for this I was much younger and not very versed in humanitarian notions, as such to me there was no wrong answer I thought the world was overpopulated and needed immediate action in population control, not going to lie my first hypothetical choices on those who I believed deserved death we're largely affected by bias.
