Gift giving
Show your support
In an ideal world yes.
We buy one thing for each other's kid and don't buy each other anything. As soon as we all had a at least one kid we use the money we would have spent on each other to buy the kids toys.
I voted yes, but currently, my child is the only kid. But I don't think it should be expected if people are broke or if there are lots of nieces/nephews. I thibj family gifts are fibe tho tio
Yes, if they have a close relationship.
The only person obligated to give my children gifts is me imo
Yes even if it’s a small present or a shared present for Xmas if money is that tight. However if they are really stuck for money then no but then you don’t buy for theirs and you go out for the morning/day and make a memory. Kids notice who show up and you just give presents/money. A trip to the park or everyone to soft play etc, you’re paying for your own kid but it’s still showing up making a memory.
I don't expect anyone to buy for my kids but I buy for my nieces and nephew so would hope my brother & sil would buy for my kids. And they do. If money was tight, then probably not or just a little gift
if they have the means to, then yes it would be nice for children’s aunties and uncles to get them a gift xx
I don’t expect anything of anyone, then I’m never disappointed. We live far away from our families for work, so tbh it’s been a lot of “out of sight, out of mind”
I am honestly okay if they don’t. They have plenty of toys as is. But if they feel like it’s that’s their choice.
If theyre involved -yes but not expected. We're not materialistic though... My siblings were children when I made them aunties but now 2/3 are working adults, they choose to but for my children
My side of the family: they do every year. In-laws: mainly mother and sister in law while the others are not interested or broke.
I don't expect anyone to buy for my kid, the way I see it is that it isn't really a gift if they feel like they have to buy something, if they want to then I'm always very grateful and so is my daughter but even at 4 we've made her very aware that she can't just expect gifts from people because they're family/close friends. We've also started asking those that do want to get her something to instead save the money they would have spent on a toy/clothing etc and take her out to make memories with them instead. My daughter enjoys being around her family, so what better way to "gift" her than with their time 🤷♀️
No one is obligated to buy my children gifts. I don't get upset if they don't. Even if I buy my sister's kids gifts and she doesn't buy my kids gifts I don't stress over them. Like this year I will be surprised if my sister gets my kids anything even though I plan to get her kids a gift

As things change and becoming a mom I really don’t know what to expect or do when I’m not reciprocated with the same behavior. I don’t know if to take it personal I have a stepdaughter so when it comes to my partner side of the family I really try not to see if they treat them differently and again try not to make it personal
No people got their own kids and their own lives money is tight nowadays
Personally no. I already think most people overspend on Christmas. I don’t want anyone to overextend themselves. I know I can’t afford to buy presents for all 14 of my nieces and nephews.
Christmas we only buy for kids, for birthday I buy for my siblings , their partners and my niece & nephews
So the kids uncle and aunts ? If they have the funds too , when my sister was in college and not working we never expected anything That being said my parents side of the family don’t but we have nothing to do with them
