Dilema on children having the same amount of gifts.

[CharleeInPantoPaperChains]

My ds1 is regestered with Postpals, they are a charity that sends out parcels and letters to children with long term illnesses, anyway he has recieved near on 20 extra parcels this year which we wern't expecting, i'm not sure wether to now go and get ds2 more presents to even it up or not?

How old are they?, could they share the 20 extra girfts?

gifts

I don't know what the gifts are! They have arrived all wrapped from various people so i haven't opened them, i was thinking about opening them then re wrapping tham after sharing them between the 2 boys, but people have sent them for ds1 so i don't think that would be right.

Ds's are 4 and 2.

Cnce they're open, DS2 is likely to play with them anyway so sharing them is fine. The people that send them will understand entirely I think, and realise that there are likely to be other children benefitting from them.

and a two year old won't notice how many presents there are for him anyway, he will only like the boxes!

I don't suppose the 2 year old would notice would he? Can the 2 year old open some with his brother. My 2 year old loves taking the paper off, but not so bothered by what's inside!

Yes i suppose so, at least if i open them first i can remove all the messy ones!

One of them arrived today from a company in london all wrapped in post paper and ribbons, i am so itching to know what in it!

I don't think your 2 year old will realise tbh. How fantastic to receive so much kindness and generosity

posh not post!

I would relabel them to both your ds's. I don't think people would have a problem with that/ Most people are aware that long term illnesses affect the whole family.

I would say a 2 year old wouldnt notice too much, he could help ds1 open them and maybe ds1 will agree to share some or let ds2 have the ones he doesn't like as much.

Or you could go to pound land and buy a few extra things for ds2 to open.

My 2 year old is alot slower at opening presants than dd1 so she wouldnt notice if dd1 had more.

I doubt ds2 will notice but i feel bad if they don't get the same amount [sad person emotion]

Saying tat i can't think of anything to get him though! HGe does need some more vests and shoes maybe i could get them and wrap them up as pressies?

Maybe as it's such alot save some until his Birthday?

Thats a good point ds2 is very slow at opening pressies so they may finish at the same time!

DS1 has just has his birthday if i out them away somewhere i would loose them come a years time!
