I am one of a group of siblings....its complex but sis is 'the boss', got married first, had kids first (3), and is closest to our mother both in location and relationship.
the others had children, then I had 4 children in a few years. So sis has older teenage children while I have a baby.
we have spent many years buying nice pressies for birthday & xmas. easter eggs etc. Sis tells me what her kids want - and the last few years this has been £ to go shopping with their friends. The last few years xmas gifts to us have got smaller in value as our number of children have increased, but as our children have not noticed we have not said anything and sent thank you notes etc
sis has now said they don't want to buy christmas gift and easter eggs any more. i feel a bit yuk about it....we've been buying for their kids for 17 years - it feels unfair. I said how would you have felt when yours were little but she didnt answer....i also said if it's financial then its no problem at all, but she said it wasn't at all, they just think its a bit pointless buying for each other any more.
