So now that Christmas is largly over, I have been missing over a couple things and would appreciate your thoughts and there I'm overthinking and should just zip it..

Background, I love with with dp (engaged) and have done so for nearly 7 years now. I have 3 children from a different dad, and one with dp. He he also has a dd but she lives far away and we only are allowed to see her 2 nights every 14 days (long battle through caught even yo get this)

Anyway which realtive is in the wrong, if any

Dps brother, 3 x presents for my dsd, one for my dd3, none for dd1, ds1or dd2
(brother has one son, we get him a present)

Mil 2 X massive and I mean those paper christmas bags you can stand up in, and £50 for dsd
1 bag big presents, largely unsuitable but can you another time and no money fox my dd4
A smellies set for dd1
Colouring pens for dd2
magic box for ds1 (he s 12)

All of this is gifted or handed over at the same time. Children do notice discrepancy but are too polite to say anytbing

My mum, present to each child £50budget. Stuff they wanted generally.

My mil to her son £500.
To me, £20next voucher haha

So. All present and correct??! Or not..

I think it's a bit weird for them to make a distinction between the two children that are your partner's. I don't think it's weird for them to give less/nothing to the children which aren't actually his, though it's kind of your mother to give them all the same.

Mostly, I would just stop worrying about it and let people do what they want.
