[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is your SIL unmarried? She may feel excluded and wanting to hang onto being a member of a nuclear family. And if she’s used to being the bossy sister, she’s having a hard time recalibrating, now that her brother answers to a higher authority. It’s not a hill to die on, if your DH decided to go along. You could get something for your ILs and for the cousins from you and the kids. [/quote] She’s married and has kids. [/quote] So what does she do about her husband and kids? Does she expect a gift from you or give one to you? Does she also get a gift to her parents from her husband and kids? We do a $100 gift exchange with all siblings, spouses and the grandparents. Each person buys 1 gift instead of 8, which is awesome. Kids get gifts under $50, closer to $20. One gift per couple, including grandparents. So my kids max out at 4 gifts which feels abundant to them but not overwhelming to me. [/quote]
