DD is 13. Her half siblings are 6 and 7. They are her dad's but not mine.
She sees her dad EW and every other xmas. Every year, her stepmum's parents and aunt always get her a present. She doesn't really know them, they don't really know her, they only see each other at family gatherings. She isn't ungrateful, she knows it's very generous of them but she feels uncomfortable as they aren't really her family and she feels like they feel they have to. She thinks they are worried she will be offended if her siblings have presents and she doesn't, she wouldn't be, they're their family not hers.
She's been texting me as she's at her dad's this Christmas and she mentioned it. She's told me about it before. She's grateful, and said thank you, but it makes her really uncomfortable, especially because the rest of her dad's family keep reminding her that it's so generous of them as they aren't her family, and that they didn't have to, etc. She feels as if she's being made to feel guilty that they get her a present and DD (and I on her behalf) almost wish they wouldn't get her anything.
