To give dd more for Xmas?

[cookieswirls]

Dd is 5 and her brothers are 10 months old. She has considerably more presents than them for Xmas and I'm not sure how to explain to her why. She is sure to ask me as she will probably think fc thinks they have been naughty and therefore only have a couple of present,whereas she has been so good she deserves more she will definitely notice.

In your position I'd wrap up some basics like nappies and clothes to balance it out. Or a big box each with small things inside. She will only notice looking at the wrapped pile. Once it's all opened she will be too busy to notice!

Definitely give her more. I was 6 when my brother came along. I still vividly remember a nightmare from xmas eve where he got all my presents. I was so upset that he might get more than me. Def give her lots

Father Christmas understands they are babies so don't need as many presents as her as she's a big girl. When they are older they will have more.

Any variation of that bollocks

It doesn't matter if she gets more. If she comments just say he's only little and he'll probably get more next year.

My age gap wasn't this big, but I remember wrapping dummies for my youngest just so big sister saw him getting something from father Xmas. I also wrapped a few of her baby toys from storage, she didn't twig that they were the exact same toy. I don't think kids mind too much if theirs is bigger, It's smaller that upsets them! If there is anything they need, wrap it, but I wouldn't buy for the sake of it. Explain big kids get more than babies.
