Kids sharing a present from family member?

[Mrscouldron]

My mil has given my children who are 5 and 7 one Christmas present to share. She sent it in the post this week. My older dc has moderate SEN so sharing for them is almost impossible.

AIBU to give the gift back and say it will cause so many arguments and tears on Christmas morning. I'm not sure any 5 an 7 year old would share but to expect a child with SEN to do so I feel is unfair. I would rather she just gave them a small gift each or a little money in their bank accounts or just a colouring book each really.

To be honest they both have so much for Christmas anyway but I know the one gift to share will cause my dc7 to go into full meltdown. I really want to avoid that on Christmas morning obviously.

Op I work with kids with Sen so do understand. A shared gift is not a problem in itself- a trampoline, a games console (2 player) is a great joint present, but a Lego set isn't really a good shared gift. Is it an actual set they have to build like a house/ boat etc or is it just Lego blocks where they can do their own thing?

It's a small car

Ok well that's not a good present to expect two kids to share, regardless of Sen. Can you return it and get two smaller things?
