To think it's the norm to buy for kids rather than the adults if can't afford it?

Doing a late Christmas present swop. It's a bit a awkward.We've bought toys for brother in law's kids and our small child got a selection box. Which is fine if that's all they can afford. But they've bought my husband a Lego set. My little boys asked why everyone got toys but him and I've said "ooh but you get 6 bars on your selection box". Last year DH got a Lego set and DS got a packet sweets. I dunno I find it a bit odd

Just buy them a chocolate gift next year then. Dont give it anymore headspace than that.I have to say its a but stingy of your BIl to not buy his own nephew a small toy if he cab afford expensive lego for his Dbro I am sure he could spend less on your Dh and get your Ds something more than that given you always buy for his kids.

If he gave proper presents to his other nieces and nephews I would probably see if your dh can ask his db what is going on. It seems a bit odd.
