[quote=Anonymous]You choose to give gifts. He is not rude for accepting them. Gifts flow down in our family too. We would not expect gifts from the children. You should certainly not be expecting gifts on behalf of your husband. If you like giving gifts give them. If you only like giving gifts if you are also receiving, than only give when you receive. If your husband doesn’t mind giving without receiving, good for him. Leave your step son and his father alone. This not a battle unless you make it one. Let them enjoy whatever version of the holiday they choose. It honestly sounds like you are resentful of your SS and his relationship with his dad. I suspect that you have higher expectations for SS than you do of your own kids. [/quote]
