[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here: thanks everyone. I appreciate your responses and your time to read my super long post. I would like to mention that this job is not my only source of income, and thank God I am financially comfortable. Buying gifts 2 times a year would not make a big difference, however I will be spending much less from now on. I have an idea of being more creative in the future. My charges love video games and that's basically the  only thing that interest them at this point (my charges severe allergies prevent me from doing the ice cream thing, or anything involving food since that's one of the hardest thing to do is make them eat - anything, even junk food) I feel great buying them game that they like. In fact The one they are into right now encourage creativity which i found refreshing. However, as I mentioned above I will stick to buying bday gifts only. My concern is my mb's reaction. I had no intention of stepping on her toes or crossing the boundaries, but it seems like I did since for the 2nd time she is creating a problem. Generally we have no communication problems and that's why this puzzles me. I am not sure if this is something I should just let go or maybe sit and have a talk with my mb. [/quote]

I also recommended a trip to the amusement park, or water park for that matter. Or an indoor tumble play zone with trampolines and foam pits? Tickets for any of those shouldn't be more than $30 per child so you would be saving money, making memories, and (hopefully) not irritating your MB. :)

I think you should let it go, I don't expect that talking to her will make a different. The only thing you might say is, "MB, I know there was some confusion over the last round of presents I got for the boys so I'd like to make future gifts something that includes them all and that they'll remember, like a special trip or outing. Do you know of anywhere they'd really like to go that you'd be comfortable with me taking them to celebrate XYZ?" [/quote]
