Title: How do you pick who gets a present and who don't?
Post by: Yebleng on December 12, 2018, 01:56:12 PM
Do you buy Christmas gifts for all the little ones in your family including your spouse's family? If not, how do determine which child gets one and which one doesn't?

Everyone gets a present.

Blood is thicker than water

If they gift your children, you do the same for their kids.

Don't play favoritism.  Gives one, give all unless they naughty. 

As long as your budget allows.  Make a pac with your spouse that you both shall not gift one another but uses that budget to gift others first. 

Gift your father mother inlaw?  I wouldn't after you marry her but I would to get cookie points if y'all are still dating. 

Bottom line, y'all Hmong got too many siblings and each one has a pack load of their own

Santa's way: been a good boy or good girl this year, getting gifts; if not, no gifts.

Its always so hard to pick who's kids to buy for around this time of the year. You don't want to look like you're playing favoritism towards one group because we all know that's how a lot of issues starts among families. I should just play scrooge and say F* everyone ;D

Too many nieces and nephews. They're already spoil rotten by their parents. I let their parents buy Christmas gifts for them, I just take them out for ice cream or boba. I made the kids go Christmas shopping last year to donate to the local orphanage, surprising they were extremely excited to shop for someone else. Christmas is not about presents, it's about spending time with your loved ones.

a lot of kids take things for granted. I always have to remind my boys how my life was when I was growing.

No picking or choosing in the past.  We used to purchase gifts for everyone (immediate family), but now we do Secret Santa.  8)
