Giving Christmas Gifts To Large Families
Your relatives may have 7 in their family and you only have 3. When its time to give gifts do you feel it a little unfair that you have to get them 7 presents and they only have to give you 3?
I always buy for my nephews and niece and second cousins. I never thought much of it as we are their family and I like the smiles when they rip the paper. Once up in age it stops as it is they way of life. We always tell every one do not worry about our boys as they are just here for the food. Some how all the children still seem to have something to open on the get together though.
If I was buying becuase I felt obligated it might bug me...but again I do what I do because it is what I like to do.
We get all the kids a present but that is usually it. My little brother only has two kids while I have 5 He never felt like he was getting ripped off. But that is the kid of person he is. I know he never spent as much per gift as I did so that I think made it a little more fair.
