How much do you spend on your teenagers for Christmas?

[Diff16]

My son is 15 and daughter is 13, what is your budget? I'm divorced, and because I work full time and earn a good salary and their Dad does not work, my children spend the week with their Dad and a weekend day with me. ( too much too explain here). Dad wants me to contribute to a £380 mobile for my 13 year old, which I think is ridiculous. Oh the reason I still because her friends have all the latest phones - tough! I would not even get to open this gift with her on Christmas morning, as his parents have contributed. I've told him in polite words to jog on.

DS1 16 and DS2 13 about £200 each all in. We can afford it and have very few other people to buy for. Gifts include clothes, shoes, school bags etc which they are happy with as they want for nothing else!

DD1 is getting a new iPad, but is paying for half the cost herself. She had a “new” phone in the summer, a secondhand iPhone SE for £190. SHe paid £80 of that, as her brother’s secondhand phone was £110.

THEy have some other gifts as well, but i am trying cut back

Why don't your children want to spend time with you?
How is your ex in an £800K house with no income?
