someone always gives us and our LO two gifts each, one from the parents and one from their kids, in the last few years we've felt obliged to do the same. I don't see the point. Its not like the children make/pick our gifts just from them, the mum buys them, and then the mum buys the gift from her to us...
So after getting into the habit of doing it back would be BU to have them round and hand the kids one gift from us as a family, in return from their two? It would be awkward, but I don't want to do it any more!
Or would it be really mean since they're kids and we exchange gifts face to face?
They'll be comming with six gifts for us, a family of three! I want to give back 4 gifts - a joint one for the parents from all of us, and one each for each child from all of us.
Otherwise it'll be:
present to the dad from DH and I
Present to the dad from DD
present to the mum from DH and I
Present to the mum from DD
present to child 1 from DH and I
present to child 1 from DD
present to child 2 from DH and I
present to child 2 from DD
present to child 3 from DH and I
present to child 3 from DD
GAWWWWWD!!!!!!!!!!!! what a list!
but then with them bringing us arms full...., and their children are only young don't want to be responsible for disappointing them..
