One of our close relatives has stopped buying my DC birthday gifts (DC are all small) and acknowledging mine and DH's birthdays. I am pretty sure this is because I have gone from buying her expensive gifts (when there were 2 incomes and no DC) to a smaller gift (still £30 budget). Last year I told her that I wanted to tone down Christmas as it was getting really out of hand. I added up what we spent on food, drink and presents and it came to £1500. We have a very large family and lots of small DC and I needed to cut back everywhere as we just can't afford it.
This relative is coming to ours on Christmas Day and I wouldn't put it past her to not acknowledge my DC with a gift. I am not sure what to do. I don't know whether I should still get her a gift anyway.
