We don't know all the details. They didn't even know all the details. There are some expectations on the OPs side that his parents didn't know. They decided to help him get there. That can be a gift. Maybe they don't have much money. Maybe they do. They're still helping, and that is a gift.

OP
No worries, its my fault for sounding so aggrieve in my opening post. But wow, if I can't vent here without anyone getting mad at me , im in trouble.
Nothing pathetic about wanting to vent and nothing wrong with you feeling like this is the place you're most comfortable doing so. Don't beat yourself over wanting to talk about issues, you've done nothing wrong and there's nothing to be ashamed of here. Like regardless of what if any responisiblity can be pinned on you in this situation, wanting to talk about how you've been made to feel is absolutely fine
Thankfully we have this big grown up post by a very mature adult person on a video game forum to make up for it.
Two seats aren't always available next to each other, first of all.
Second of all pay for the luggage yourself. Are you a minor or something?

I don't mind. Seeing people vent is one of the hooks of this site, tbh.
You're on a discussion board. You can vent if you want to, but you also need to recognize that there is a distinct possibility that some people may not blindly take your side.
Ignoring all the other issues which it sounds like OP et al are hashing out now...
Are you suggesting you can't bring any clothes with you to PR now? Or can this just be fixed with a phone call or two? You explain to your parents that you need to bring stuff, and so you need them to pay for luggage since you have $0. Is it not that simple?

lol at least for my Asian ass parents this does not apply
It's doing a nice thing/someone a solid, but it still doesn't feel like a gift to me. Gift, to me, feels like something freely given with no other expectations.
You're right. We don't know everything attached to it. We don't even know if the OP wanted to visit them in the first place. Based on what was said, parents are paying for something that op is paying them back for later(and shortly later if the next month is to be believed). Which... just sounds like a loan.
Clearly this is becoming a discussion more about semantics though.
OP if I've been reading this thread correctly. The one with the problem with the split seats and luggage is your Mom and not you right? The way some people are responding makes me think people don't realize this. I could be wrong though.
As far as the IRS is concerned, an interest-free loan is a gift, lol.
Nah, I don't think I will.
My post was a bit harsh I admit but so is calling your parents stupid when they are doing you a favor.
Lmao. I feel like this explains things considering how negatively people look towards the IRS.
