[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My BIL and SIL are the godparents of my younger child and get her very nice gifts every year for Christmas and birthdays. My older daughter’s god parents (my sister and her husband) get her nothing. No acknowledgment— not even a card. Would this upset you?[/quote]

The post confuses me. Are you saying this aunt and uncle get their niece no gifts, period, OR they do get her some gifts as their niece but none "from your godparents"?

Based on how you write this, I figure it's the former and they give her zero gifts of any kind based on either relationship with her--neither the blood relative relationship nor the godparent relationship. Is that correct?

If they got her presents "from aunt Sue and uncle Joe" I would not expect additional gifts "from your godparents, Sue and Joe."  But if they give her no gifts or even a card or call for birthdays or Christmas as her aunt and uncle, that seems odd--IF and only if they give gifts to/acknowledge you, other adults, other kids.

Do they not give your other child anything at Christmas?

Do they just no do gifts for anyone at all? That's a legit choice on their part though not a popular one on DCUM or in some families. Have they ever said, "We don't give gifts" or anything?

Please clarify. Thanks.[/quote]
