[quote=Anonymous]I think I would speak directly to my niece and tell her you want to include and welcome Jack and Jill so you will send small gifts for all three to her dad. Then say you will send an additional gift to her at her mom’s but ask that she be tactful in mentioning it around her new step siblings. 17 is plenty old enough to understand! FWIW my children got new stepcousins” when my SIL married a man with similarly aged teens. My in laws gave all 4 kids several thoughtful gifts but also gave mine money on the side. My kids knew enough to keep that part on the down low and everyone gets along well. I’m quite sure those kids know ours get extra somehow but even if they “keep score” they are coming out ahead as they get gifts from 3 sets of grandparents and ours only have the traditional 2 sets[/quote]
