Would this offend you?

If someone can to visit your house, say once a year, maybe twice or three times max

And every time they did, they had a present with them for your dog. But not your 2 young DC

Would it bother you? The person in question has 2 DC of a similar age of their own

We don't really visit them for logistical reasons so can't give a comparison there

They are otherwise lovely to DCs and generous if they come along to a birthday party etc

No, I don't expect visitors to bring presents to my kids. I'd expect a small gift or bottle of wine if I was feeding them though

No, I'd think that was sweet. I wouldn't be expecting anything, so someone thinking of my pet would be charming.

I can't answer your actual question as I don't have DC, but it's interesting that, as possible present recipients, you've included the dog and the DC, but not yourself.

If anyone deserves a present, it should be the host - you.

Gosh no, I'd think it was sweet.

Plus kids are easy to make friends with, some dogs take a little bribery 😁

No. Do you buy presents for her kids?

Sunnytwobridges · 25/05/2024 00:51

Not at all, I would be pleasantly surprised. Most people that visit ignore my dogs so I think it would be lovely.
