Have you ever received a present that turns out to be a burden?

Send it to me. Then tell your uncle it was for charity. Then, if your sister is not married, I may consider sharing the car with her .. If she is, I will sell the car to her husband and give you 10% of the profit. Deal?

see to be honest? the fact that he gave it to your sister first, i think if you accept it, you'll only get on the wrong side of your sister. she may think that you talked him into giving you the car instead of her, or she may get jealous that you have recieved the car when she had it in the first place. i would explain calmly and rationally that you are getting a new truck, and you don't really have the need, or the space for an extra car, and if he doesn't want the car anymore, suggest he sell it. if he allows you to sell it and keep the money for yourself, split it with your sister.

Yeah my present for one of my birthdays was a very annoying dog that drives me crazy. Even moreso that he only acts up and gets wild around me. He drives me batty! I think sometimes hubby thinks my frustration with this dog is humorous. Other than being a good watchdog he is a bother to me.

Nice, a new truck. I don't think it would be a burden if I'm given a new truck. I received a cd player way back. It was Christmas and that was a Christmas gift from my aunt. It also turned out to be a burden because it broke a lot of times on me. We had to take it to professionals to get it fixed several times and spent a lot of money on it too til we just decided that it's not worth it anymore.

you right friend, if you uncle already give the car to your sister i don't see the reason why he took it even disappointed or not a gift is a gift he cant do that to her its not fair.

Yes, I see how that can be a burden and I'm not surprised that it kept you up. If something like that happened between my brother and I, there would be a great war started in the family. And no one likes it when their family is in a state of turmoil. Good luck with your uncle, maybe he will reconsider.

Hi Toni! I wish I had a uncle who would have gifted me a new car ………lol! I agree with you that it would be a problem for you to receive this kind of gift, which will be snatched from your sister for handing it over to you. You can make an attempt. You could politely deny him and could tell him that you do not require any new car, it could be gifted to someone else, who is a needy person.

I am sure your sister will understand if you explain this to her. Just go ahead with the truck you want to have because you can never be sure about the future. Who knows? Your uncle might change his mind again and get back the car from you. At least you will have your own and won't have to worry. It seems like your uncle is making you sisters fight. LOL

Not exactly but as I never throw presents, as I feel that the time it was given to me it was precious,there was this ex-boyfriend's sound system he gave me and things became preatty ugly and years would go by and I wanted to sale it but always couldn't. I knew it was getting old and as soon as I sale it the better, but never got the heart.

Just accept it and be grateful for it. Maybe you don't have any use for it today but in the future, who knows? What if you did not accept it and your uncle will give it to someone else who is not even a family member, it would just go to waste... and maybe, in the near future your uncle and your sister would be in good terms again, you could easily give it to your sister again if you accept it today.

OMG yess!! I just received a camera from dad and mom this weekend. It's super expensive and it's getting me worried. I know I have to be happy and thankful but it's getting really burdersome and since it's expensive I don't really feel like using it too. Actually they had bought me a camera last year too but I lost it I was thinking of buying one with my own money but they suddenly gave me a camera and knowing the price is eating me up. Anyway to be honest I really love it but it feels heavy.

If this is the second car you are receiving from your uncle, then you can't drive both cars. This second one you could rent or give it some relative. Maybe you could begin a taxi's company . Wiil you get the truck also from your uncle?

Give it to me instead. I just commute and walk a lot. Don't u have mercy? lol. Just accept it. You can share it with your sister anyway. I mean if you live in one roof, she can borrow that anytime.

She cant leave him because she has the impression she can change his attitude. Too bad for your sister she can't use the car. Too bad for you also because you have been thinking hard about it and it's giving you burden. As of the moment nobody should use that car at all because people would end up getting disappointed.

For me yes at this time I don't live with my mother in law the burden is they want more money to support her but she didn't comfortable to what you gave and they get angry to you she never gave you a warm welcome.

Hi toni! There is no wrong for you to accept the gift because for whatever reason your uncle have right to decide to which he may give the present. There must be a reason why he take back the present from your sister. It may sounds like unfair but your sister should not feel mad to you because she should know that it is just a present means its still not fully belong to your sister and your uncle have right to take it back because it is belong to your uncle. So don't worry he the one who wants to give it to you while you never asked for it so it is not your fault to accept it.(^^)

A present that burden me? So far I haven't any. I'm not getting much present though and that's why I guess. For me the present that might burden me is a pet. I never want a pet and yet people give me a pet. They give me a pet because they saw I haven't had a pet and think I might need one. "Hey don't you see I don't want any and that's why there isn't any." For someone who don't like to had a pet, having a pet is very troublesome and a heavy burden. Ok, I like to keep fish for its beauty, but to take a good care of it does take a lot of work. I like to keep Arowana and I had one but at my parents house. The cost of feeding it is really a lot. And the water have to be always clean. When I had a birthday, the last thing I want is a pet. I don't care if people give me a lot of car, but not pet. I would like a car though.

Haha! sounds funny. Anyway, maybe you can keep it and after a while sell it so that you can make money out of it. Don't you think it's a good idea?

As you do not have any option right now, just keep it for sometime. After that you can discuss your concerns with your Uncle. Let him know in detail why you have a problem with this car, I hope you will get a solution.
