slightly annoyed with my 'family'

[eleazebonares]

each year we send my family back home a balikbayan box. it gets there xmas time, it makes me feel better celebrating xmas here knowing they all have what their greedy hearts desire..

this box is costing me a fortune, they all want things and i have got no heart to say no. my son matthew has a psp to give to my younger brother, now my nieces and nephew want one too, on top of the nintendo dsi i have brought for them already. they also want all the latest game which cost £30-40 each. mobile phones is on the list too.

it makes me sad coz they do not even text me to say hello or how are you, but lately i get at least 10 texts a day with, oh can u buy me this :(...

i just needed to get this off my chest, ranting over now i have to get on packing a buying some more things :(

to be perfectly honest i think the money spent is secondary, my main 'rant' i think is about them not texting me, i have a globe roaming sim so they can text me for free or for a peso, but they hardly do, and that breaks my heart coz i miss them.
i was talking to hubby about this last night, i told him it seems that all that i have i can give to them but they hardly give anything back, all i want is abit of love as i am so far away from them. and when i call them they always seem too busy to talk. hubby suggested that maybe i should stop texting and calling for a short while and maybe they will miss me, but what if they dont??
