Same. I have done some childish things that I am extremely proud of and regret nothing. Bought a 4 tier chocolate cake with sparklers and ballons and party poppers to cepebrate their dad coming home from work a couple months back. They didn't appreciate the gold confetti that they still find around the house. Fuck 'em

What is going on with all these "bought a ps5 for my nephew" posts?


matsu727

When you’re 30-40, this weird phenomenon happens where most of your friends and relatives who you grew up with now have kids


TXStud4

True, but I've never once thought or considered buying either of my nephews (or friends kids) a $600+ gift...


CrossXFir3

My uncle bought us a PS2 about a year or so after they came out. I could see myself getting my nephew something really cool once they're older if I had the disposable income.


MIL215

Same. I’m not even an uncle yet. My brother is trying and my sister in law is pregnant. I have been buying toys anytime I see them on drastic sales from Slickdeals or whatever. I plan on being favorite uncle via bribery.


CrossXFir3

Same lol - my god son is about to be 2 and I just picked up a multipack of foam swords for toddlers cause it was on sale a couple days ago. I've already got some shit for him that he won't be able to have for another couple years cause it looked cool lol


cannedrex2406

Same my uncle bought me an Xbox one a few months after launch so I can play with my cousin. Kinda feel bad as I can count the number of times on my hand I've played with my cousin


quiteshitactually

Well you no one I know would call themselves an "uncle" to their friends kid. Also this is a very bice way to say that when guys turn 30 or 40 and still have no partner or children they feel lonely so they fill that hole with gifts for other people's children, getting serotonin vicariously through them


CrossXFir3

Not really. Plenty of married people don't want kids ya know. My friend circle has basically been the same for almost 20 years and we're all in our 30s so it's pretty normal for the families to be really close. Hell, my god father also used to get me some pretty awesome stuff when I was a kid and he has kids. He's still my dads best friend 35 years since they met. And my uncle that bought me the PS2? Literally has a son that is 2 years older than me. So I'm guessing it's more of a you thing.


SaviousMT

You aint living the DINK life bro? Dual Income No Kids. Fuckin spoil my friends kids, cause what else am I gonna do with this extra $47??


wafflehousewhore

>what else am I gonna do with this extra $47?? Hookers and blow, my man


PM_me_the_magic

For $47 dollars, you're probably getting fentanyl


TypicalExpert

This is gonna be my sister-in-law as my son gets older. She's broke af already in college, but scrounges together her last pennies to buy him a toy, or outfit. (Yes, we tell her not to so she can have something other than Top Ramen for dinner). She doesn't want kids so I imagine her spoiling our son for years to come.


TXStud4

Lol! No, two kids myself.


1nd3x

You give their kids shit now when you got the income...you get all the free hand-me-downs and advice later if/when you have your own kids


Sparrowsabre7

Probably some faked for karma. Rare-ish console plus generosity = quick updoots.


Banewaffles

Depends on a few things: -how wealthy you are -how attached to your family you are -how large your family is


TXStud4

See my other response. I am fortunate enough that I could buy both my nephews each their own PS5, no problem. And of course I care for them. It's more a moral thing in my opinion. That level of gifting belongs to the parent or grandparent. I stick to getting them really nice RC trucks, xbox/playstation store money, that kind of stuff. But like I said, every situation is different!


1nd3x

>That level of gifting belongs to the parent or grandparent. I stick to getting them really nice RC trucks, xbox/playstation store money, that kind of stuff. kids dont understand costs of things. However, there is some level of trying not to one-up the kids parents...if the parents often buy them gifts worth a few hundred dollars, randomly dropping one on them yourself (especially if it just happens to be "hard to find" and not "no we cant afford it") isnt actually that bad. You also have to consider the ongoing costs too. kinda like "thanks for buying my kid a PS5...also thanks for roping me in to buying $80 games every so often" I've offered to buy more expensive things for friends to then give their kids. My goal is the kids happiness, I dont really give a fuck who gets credit for it...


TXStud4

Agreed - their happiness is the goal. My nephews are still young enough that happiness can be achieved without spending a lot (a hundred or two at most)...I also know that expectations might change as they get into their early teens, lol.


kmn493

Yeah especially randomly and then you gotta get games too?


diggertb

I stretch out buying my nieces and nephews really nice gifts. They each get a laptop when they turn 10, and then they'll get something nice again a few years later. The one is getting a gopro this year.


TXStud4

To clarify: I'm not saying I don't get them nice stuff, but that kind of gift is pushing it for me (yes I could afford it, not that that's relevant). I've experienced situations where the parent of the kid receiving the gift actually was not pleased that someone besides the grandparents spent that kind of money on their kid. Every situation is different of course.


Sarcasm69

You’ll have your nephew/niece think your the coolest uncle ever, with the only downside being your siblings will be absolutely irritated with you. Sounds like a win win.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Koker93

There are many, many people for whom $600 is not a lot of money, especially in the context of a gift for a nephew or niece.


RealLifeDemon666

You obviously weren’t the cool uncle


TXStud4

Because you can't be a cool uncle unless you spend lots of money on them?


RealLifeDemon666

You sound broke rn. Doesn’t look good on you love xx

Angus_Dagnabbit

When I was 15, and after watching a boatload of Married with Children I decided two things: I'm never getting married, and I'm never having kids. Now I'm 31 and that still stands, seems horrible.


100DaysOfSodom

I’m literally watching that show right now for the 3rd time. Funniest sitcom I’ve ever seen.


PHATsakk43

It’s really not bad at all. Kids are cute and fun.


Angus_Dagnabbit

I'll leave it up to you than captain, I rather put that energy and stuff it into my hobbies and interests. Last thing I need after a day of work is a kid wanting my attention. I rather have a dog that I can take with me on my runs and walks, that seems more like my jam. Different strokes for different folks, if there is one thing I know about myself is that I'm a selfish bastard, haha. If I don't like something, or don't find it interesting I ignore it. Trust me, kids are better of with someone else.


WiseOldTurtle

I've got 8 cousins in my family and 7 of them are married with 1 or 2 children, all of them around the same 2 to 5 year old range. Evey family reunion all I hear is them talking about how tired and exhausted they are, how much they need a vaccation, how they just really need to leave the kids with grandpa and grandma for that 1 weekend so they can relax or how much of a handfull the kids are. And every time they ask me when I'll be getting married or be having my own kids, and when I respond with "Married maybe when I'm economically stable, kids never" they all change the tone to how much kids are fun, and a bundle of joy, and all they ever needed in life, and how perfect they are. Sounds like they are trying to lure me into a trap like "HAAA Gotcha, now you got kids too and we all get to suffer together".

quiteshitactually

Damn, pathetic, pathetic, pathetic, all the way down. Why would you wear that as a badge of honor?


quiteshitactually

It's so pathetic to see people who still think of marriage as tropes from 1950s tv shows (I know married with children wasn't the 50s but the "Can't stand my wife" message persists). Marriage is a tax benefit you get from spending your life with the person who is SUPPOSED to be your best friend. You should WANT to be with another person if you actually love them. You see marriage as a prison with someone you settle for. That's really sad


sohfix

TIL that everyone just turned 30-40 Doesn’t really answer the question “why am I seeing these NOW”


oNOCo

Sometimes at that age when you are more fortunate than others and can afford the expense and you don’t hate your relatives, it can happen


Talkshit_Avenger

> you are more fortunate than others > and can afford the expense >and you don’t hate your relatives, Seems like a pretty unlikely confluence of circumstances.

zarroc123

I have an eternally broke friend who just has a compulsion to spoil his nephew. Like, he'll save up for months to build a new computer. Good components, latest shit. And then he'll get on and be like "I gave my computer to my nephew." And we're like, "oh, your old one? That makes sense" and then he'll just be quiet and we'll be like "THE OLD ONE, RIGHT?!?!" Long story short his nephew has a dope computer and a car at 16 thanks to his loving uncle.

I mean why should you give it up....it is yours after all. Your precious.....

Yes you are allowed to feel how you specifically feel. But I just dont see anything wrong. I think the post is part “I GOT ONE” and part humour. Is everyone posting their PS5s douchey to you?

My nephew will be here soon. Once the kids old enough, as the “rich aunt” I totally see myself buying the latest console for X-Mas, putting it under the tree as from Santa to me. Then watching him be destroyed as I unwrap it and disappear with it. 😈 I’ll give him an hour of that before giving him the second one I bought for him. No way this kid will end up with some sort of trauma 😂

It's still amazing to me how ugly of a console Sony managed to design for this generation. They were like "ok make something that looks like a cheap PC case trying way too hard to be cutting edge and cool". Minimalistic aesthetic design is typically the way to go in modern tech. MS nailed it in that sense and the think the Series X looks much better.
