[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We are one and done, and each sibling has 3. I do get upset when we have to spend a ton of money in total for gifts and they each just spend $15 or $25 on my one kid. It doesn't help when they are far richer than we are. We've asked for the last 2 years to forego gifts and ironically the richest sibling refuses and insists on exchanging gifts. [b]Honestly, we are at the point where we don't get our own kid gifts we'd like to get her so that we can afford the cousin's gifts. And they don't get my kid gifts she'd want or what we would have gotten her.[/b] OP, keep overcompensating [/quote] I would stop doing this - get the cousin's small gifts you can afford and buy your kiddo what you would like to be able to buy them. If they take issue suggest ending the kid gift exchange and replace with a kid-friendly Secret Santa set up instead. Your follow up on what they get your kid only puts the cherry on top of my opinion. [/quote]
