This is more of a what would you do type scenario; DH and I aren't sure of the best approach
Going to see DH siblings next week for a late Christmas get together; his siblings are always very generous toward our children and have bought some lovely gifts over the past few years.
Between the siblings they all have their own children who are now in their teens, however one sibling has step children from their partners first marriage.
These children split their time between DH's sibling + partner's house, and that of their own mother
Next week all children will be there
The issue is this; I feel that we should get all the children the same gift- we were thinking of giving them all some cash. DH feels that his siblings step children are exactly that, step children, and therefore he wouldn't necessarily think to get/give them the same. For context the step children are also in their teens
My feeling is that we are there for a family Christmas get together and DHs sibling and their partner have been together since the children were still in nappies so it's not like it's a new relationship. If I was one of those kids I would be gutted to see one of my step cousins getting a gift of higher value to me because I think children really pick up on stuff like that and it seems a bit mean
In short, I think all or nothing for each child but DH isn't convinced
WWYD?!
