Speaker 1: Flex and Fruits. Oh it's the Flex and Frooms catch
Speaker 1: up podcast.
Speaker 2: Hey, it's Flex and Frooms here on the Flexing Rooms podcast.
Speaker 1: And we've got a little gift for you, a big gift.
Speaker 1: Gift giving and gift receiving is one of my large
Speaker 1: wide go thy gift, big.
Speaker 2: Fat one, and that is a little discussion about how
Speaker 2: old you should be when your parents stop giving you presents.
Speaker 3: A controversial one for through me, the same person who
Speaker 3: made her parents buy a new house because.
Speaker 1: She liked it.
Speaker 2: Honestly, it was a good investment, so they should be
Speaker 2: patting me on the back.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's often a little cut. Oh they're still time.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I mean they sold it so oh yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll go check in for that car. It's well deserved.
Speaker 2: What age do you think you should be when your
Speaker 2: parents stop what's it called not pulling out?
Speaker 1: Chopping out? Chopping out? Shut up, me, shut up? When
Speaker 1: your parents stop chopping out?
Speaker 2: Chopsu eighteen?
Speaker 1: Whoa? When we say last present your mum got you?
Speaker 1: H she gets me like little gifties all the time.
Speaker 1: What was last thing she got you?
Speaker 3: Probably an outfit? I was actually quite thoughtful because we
Speaker 3: were in going at the same time, but I left
Speaker 3: away before her, so when she came back, she knew
Speaker 3: that my measurements were still with our tailor. So she
Speaker 3: got me something made so thoughtful? Was it another like
Speaker 3: two P set? She's good like that, Liz, Yeah, let's
Speaker 3: give you. I say eighteen only because now that I've
Speaker 3: seen the cost of living, now that I'm experiencing it
Speaker 3: as a full adult, I just don't think kids are
Speaker 3: grateful enough for how much it costs to give you
Speaker 3: a big Christmas babes. By eighteen, you should have been
Speaker 3: asking for you exactly what you want, the MacBook, the iPhone,
Speaker 3: the little gaming console. And by then it's just little
Speaker 3: add ons, a new game.
Speaker 1: And new book. What is it you need?
Speaker 3: You need to get something new, something you need, something
Speaker 3: practical and something blue. No, that's weddings. But you like
Speaker 3: we're on the same page. I'm like practical, small, small, small,
Speaker 3: be eighteen eighteen. Damn yeah, get your back together.
Speaker 2: I'd say that the cost of my presence have been
Speaker 2: going down. Yeah, good, And I have started buying my parents' presence,
Speaker 2: which was very counterintuitive. But I guess now that I
Speaker 2: have my own salary, I should be getting them things
Speaker 2: I maybe I'm going to do a bit of regifting.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about that concept.
Speaker 2: I mean, my sister and I never get each other presents,
Speaker 2: but maybe this year I'll start giving her some regifts.
Speaker 1: Some influencer good is. Oh but that don't do it
Speaker 1: on Christmas? Have you no shame? She won't know. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Nah, get into the habit of passing those on an
Speaker 3: any good old time. I just think that, like Christmas
Speaker 3: in itself, is such an expensive time of year, and
Speaker 3: I think that not everyone is built as a good
Speaker 3: gift giver.
Speaker 1: So you should sit.
Speaker 3: Out because I know for me, I don't like buying
Speaker 3: gifts for people when I don't know exactly what they want.
Speaker 3: It's a waste of my money, it's a waste.
Speaker 1: Of your time.
Speaker 3: It is hard, and if people aren't comfortable with like
Speaker 3: disclosing what they want, you're not getting one. I'm not
Speaker 3: playing this game with you. So with that being said,
Speaker 3: I think this pressure to get people gifts has led
Speaker 3: to a lot of bad gift giving, like that boyfriend
Speaker 3: I had one who.
Speaker 1: Got me a microwave disgusting.
Speaker 3: Not only do I not cook, I don't eat leftover's
Speaker 3: bab don't play with me, okay, with the program.
Speaker 1: Here with the program. Hint.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and again I don't do hints either. You think
Speaker 3: this bull doze of a person does.
Speaker 2: Hints, so ipso facto. Eighteen is a cut off age
Speaker 2: for buying presents. Anything after that is a pleasure and
Speaker 2: a trait.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's what's that word I'm looking for, discretionary?
Speaker 3: Discretionary. That's pretty good that I knew that the dome. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you're amazing.
Speaker 1: I love that. Thank you, kisses man.
