Do we keep buying SS’s mum gifts?

[Dishvtidyxtkep]

So we’ve always done a Christmas, Mother’s Day and birthday gift from SS to her and she has reciprocated (we get a Pandora charm or gift box etc and she’d get a mini candle or mini bottle of booze from SS to us). SS picked out a Pandora charm that was £50 for her and some fluffy socks from him to her. In return she gave a bottle of lucazade sport, a can or cider, a can of beer and a small candle from SS to us.
Normally we cap at about £20 but Pandora had the spend x amount and get a free bracelet so DP allowed the more expensive charm.

Is it time to call it quits and let her partner get gifts from her son to her? We’ll still do a card and a picture or something but we aren’t in a position to afford gifts like this?

Just cut back on the spend. It's the thought after all and from the son

A bit amused at the lucozade though. Is dad a big fan or is it something she had in her cupboard? Also a random combo she sent

Yeah keep doing it, it's nice for your SS. But cap the spend.

My personal view is that it's lovely for the dsc to have something to give to his dm so I think your dh should keep doing it but set a budget & take him in suitable shops.

I'm a LP. DS is 10. I have to ask someone every year to take him to the shop and help him buy something for me for birthday/Christmas/Mother's Day. It's so lovely for him to give me something he's bought/chosen especially if he's had it hidden in his bedroom for a while.

Tbh I have no idea why my dm/dsis couldn't do it. I've paid the babysitter to do it. One year my friend took him. This year dp took him. Nobody has ever spent £50 though x
