How well do your family get on with your SC?

My mum has just bought DSD, 14, her xmas presents.

My family have been really good with DSD and get her bday presents etc but since I had DD their attention is often diverted to her and they spent more money on her in general but as they see her often when DSD isn't with us it isn't a "favourite" situation.

Just curious about how your families treat your SC...

When it comes to birthday presents my family buy equally for DCs and DBD. When it comes to xmas the DCs tend to get more than DBD, which may sound harsh, but we've never EVER had her on Christmas, so its not like she has one or two presents while the rest are surrounded.

DBD always explains that she does v well at xmas and birthdays and loves being in an extended family, with 4 parents and 4 sets of Grandparents, Bonus and Original Flavour!

Am I missing something? Have the acronyms changed? DBS? DBD?

DD gets more presents from my side of the family than DSD but then DSD gets presents from her other set of grandparents and family that DD doesn't get so she ends up with more than DD in the end.
