I have 2 step children, 2 daughters from a previous relationship and 2 young sons with my husband. At Christmas the older children get 2 sets from presents, one from us and one from their other parent, but the younger boys only get one set of presents from us. The older children also get presents from Grandparents of the other children too so get even more presents.
As they get older the younger ones are going to realise that they get less than the others and I'm not sure how to handle that.
If we spend more on the younger children, the older ones will get jealous (this is a major problem anyway), but I feel it is unfair that they get less because their parents are together. How do other people deal with this situation?
