Lets all be honest here lol! As a kid, I would ALWAYS check my parents closet to try to see what they got me for Christmas. I tried again this year, but I couldnt find anything for me, only my siblings

Lets all be honest here lol! As a kid, I would ALWAYS check my parents closet to try to see what they got me for Christmas. I tried again this year, but I couldnt find anything for me, only my siblings
Why did you find your siblings in a closet? What were they doing there??
-
-
no but i did peek at my parents
doing what?
-
no but i did peek at my parents
I thought this was what the thread is about just from the title
-
I'd look in the closet. But I wouldn't look super hard if I couldn't find anything.
I did however end up seeing all my presents in the trunk of my mom's car one year, and from there, my childhood was stolen.
-
I pick out my presents with my parents so I already know whats inside
-
-
No, but I did freak out when my mother let it slip I was getting Doc Martens boots one year because she saved enough and my sneakers were like 2 years old
I have a cheesy photo of me holding them crying happy even
but did I ever peek no, cause I usually helped wrap them when my mom was at work so there was no peeking needed I just knew what everyone got because I was oldest and wrapping all of it
I usually did not get much for holidays or birthdays being head of household outside of her, when I was home and not in foster care, but looking back it does not matter cause as long as my siblings did not know how much we were struggling and were happy it is all good
-
That's kinda depressing...
Nah i prefer it that way
-
-
I tried to but I never was able to find my Mom's hiding places for gifts LOL. She only ever wrapped them on Christmas eve!
-
Nope, I never went in my parents/was allowed in my parents room without their permission. Even as an adult I still ask if I can go in their bedroom if I need to get something lol
-
I've read "parents" instead of "presents" and thought this is thread is about something else...
-
Yes, I got a BMX bike for Christmas '81 and it was locked in our garage and I went to have a look beforehand and my grandmother caught me and told my mother and I got into trouble.
-
I've always been pretty sneaky so I was good at getting an express look at my presents. Even when they told me to go play somewhere else in the store while they went shopping I'd sneak my little way over there. Never once got caught

I got Doc's for christmas too! But it was back in 7th grade, I think. I know it was either 6th or 7th grade. I only have that pair and a pair that used to be my moms 20 or something years ago

I got them in 8th grade but it was like the best thing ever, they lasted until after I graduated college too which was amazing

I can't remember if I have ever done these kinds of things.
