Is OTHER wrong in the post ? POST : This is gonna sound stupid but for a pretty long time I've wanted a htc vive. I brought it up and said i wanted it for Christmas. My Mom is doing that "I'm not sure if i can get you that but ill get something similar" am i the asshole for just wanting her to give me money so i can buy it myself.

This sounds so fucking whiney (because it is) but why make her buy something i wont use for 200 instead of giving me 200 so i can add my 300 that I already have. To me it just makes sense but idk if she is going to like that, because people generally like to give "gifts" and just handing over cash is generally looked down upon "at least in my pasty white af family"
