Am I the only one who thinks you skinflint?
Family member who has 3 children which we have always bought for along with the parents decides as soon as we have first baby that now we have children (1) we can buy for children only at Christmas and birthdays.
So that’s years worth of buying for their 3 and them not having an issue, and now they just buy for one.
Is this typical with CF family members ?
AIBU?
Family and ‘we’re only buying for the children now’

Prior to last Christmas my in-laws did Kris Kindle between the adults with a spending limit & we generally asked eachother what we wanted. My sis in law decided to scrap it. It makes sense in that family as all four siblings are very pragmatic rather than sentimental and my husband and his brother used to shake hands in lieu of gift vouchers.
From now on it’s kids only, one couple don’t have kids and I’m going to gift them a little something even separately to say thanks for spoiling the kids, just to acknowledge it.
Sounds awful but I often dread getting presents. I’m drowning in clutter so I really don’t need more stuff.
