[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In an intact family, they would get one set of gifts. Since they are receiving two sets in your family, each parent should each spend half. Have you tried discussing that with your ex-spouse? I know what you think about her, but have you actually raised the discussion? Most kids in this area don't need MORE things. If you spend less on consumer goods, you can have more experiences together, maybe send them to a better college or study abroad experience. Good luck.[/quote] OP here. You have a good point, and thank you. I'm not sure whether DH has had this discussion in this frame. In the past, DH, and then DH and I did bring them on trips for Christmas. This year we asked for their input - and they decided they wanted bigger ticket "things" rather than the trip. It wasn't DH's first choice - and we're discussing how to move forward next year.
