Don’t you think it’s different if your dad buys you something as compared to your aunts and uncles?

And usually, other people getting gifts doesn’t bother me at all. But I see people literally ordering their relatives to buy them stuff… “Oh, you’re visiting Pakistan next month? Get me an iPad”. Personally, I would be ashamed to ask for such expensive gifts, esp as I’m earning myself.

Asking my dad for stuff IS different. It’s just that I’m employed and I still expect him to pay for my stuff.

For the second part, there are different types of people. Shouldn’t bother you if it doesn’t affect you directly. Heck there a kids who drive Porsches and Ferrari, while I can’t afford a Honda with my pay. Is that fair? No. Am I complaining? No.
