If you have time one chid and need to buy for families with a couple of / several children do you spend as much on each child as they spend on yours or even it out as a per family spend? Our income has dropped but we still seem to be expected to spend quite a bit per child and in some cases more than they’d tend to spend on ours. Don’t want to look like a tightwad but I’ve learnt not to ask what they’d like and thinking of reducing what I buy for future birthday/ Christmas gifts.
If you have 2+ children would you think this is tight? It’s just getting tricky to keep up with it.
