need help with this one.
In dh's family, once children are 18 they no longer get a Christmas present from their uncles/aunties/grandparents. Doesn't matter if they are still in school, living at home and working/not working, etc etc. Blanket policy!
I can't do this and think it's terribly mean - might be different if they were out of the house and/or earning. There are 5 nieces/nephews out of 12 who are now 18 or older - all living at home and still at school.
What would you do? Ignore family protocol and give anyways (and risk SILs talking about me??) Or feel very Scrooge-like and go along with it.
Have already bought gift cards for everyone - gone are the days when I had time to buy something individual for all of them, and I don't know them terribly well either.... -
can you return a gift card I may have 5 I need to return.
thanks v much
