[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 2 nephews ages 14 and 16 and a niece who is in college who is 18. I have given nice birthday and Christmas presents since they were born and I am thinking of stopping at the age of 18.

We don’t see them during the holidays. Should I tell my sister beforehand that I don’t plan on sending this year?

If not at age 18 when would the right age be?[/quote]

For DH’s nephews and nieces, we stopped when they went to college, unless we were celebrating with them.  Their parents stopped sending gifts to our children when we stopped sending gifts.  Our kids were in lower ES at the time.  So, if you have younger children, just know that that might happen.

My sister’s children are close in age with my children and we still give gifts to them and she still gives gifts to my children.  They are all in the low to mid 20’s.  We celebrate together most years.  We tried to do everything other year with DH’s family, but they are not as interested and we were out of sync with them.  [/quote]
