[quote=Anonymous]OP, do you really think that in the previous post you cited, it was reasonable for the dad and stepmom to shower the half siblings with expensive gifts while the poster, her sister, and their kids sit and watch for hours? That goes beyond spending unequal amounts, that’s being assholes. Fine to keep finances separate, spend more on your own kids/grandkids, but don’t rub it in anyone’s face. My widowed FIL remarried and he thinks it’s the wife’s job to take care of gifts. So my DS got to experience going to Toys R Us with them to pick out gifts for HER bio-grandkids, and my daughters got personalized t-shirts with their names spelled wrong. FIL would occasionally pick out expensive STEM gifts for DS that were not age appropriate and nothing for the girls. Some people just suck [/quote]
