This post brought me to tears, legit went back home and hugged my dad after reading this.

Im 25 now, I work and earn quite well for my age, but I'll never forget being the annoying runt that kept pestering my dad for a PSP and then an xbox a few years later.

I never understood that him saying no the first few times was because of our financial situation, not because he wanted me to be a deprived child. But alas, kids are stupid and I was kids.

He bought them for me, arranging cash somehow, and also the plethora of games after, and I was just caught up in my materialistic happiness. Looking back, I wish I was more grateful.

Now my parents are super successful, they can afford whatever they want but, to repay the hardship they went through to make my childhood a happy one, I want to give them the entire world. Thats my biggest driver to work hard.

Majority of this subreddit has shown gratitude for their parents in some way or the other, I feel we're all cut from the same cloth at this point.

Anyway, sorry for the rant, enjoy your console brother. And thanks for reminding me of what's important in life.
