Thankless parents

[Crayola kiddies]

I stopped doing all that stuff for that exact Eason .... I still do easter baskets but the cost is minimal ... maybe $5 at the most ... I do mothers and Father's Day crafts ... again ... super cheap .... no more birthday gifts and I didn't do Xmas gifts this year either ... ... keep all your receipts as this stuff is tax deductible ... cut down on your costs of each gift (or cut it out all together) as it's causing you a financial hardship.
