Do you get gifts for adult nieces/nephews?

I see my nieces and nephews once or twice a year when they travel for summer or the holidays, and for the past few years I've given them money for Christmas. They 19 - 22 now and finishing school and all have jobs. Would you still give them a gift or phase it out and just do milestone gifts like graduations?
The other adults in my family don't really do gifts or have a big gift exchange and my budget is a little tight. I did still give money to my nieces and nephews on the other side of the family because they are teens.

I put no gifts needed because they’re not “needed”
However lol
My aunts still buy me gifts when I’m in town and will send cards every year. They also give gifts to my kids.
Nothing big though. One small thing or something. I got a pair of socks and a tiny journal inside a small wooden box that were alpaca themed. All from the dollar store. But she remembered I love alpacas and thought of me. That’s what mattered.

Personally theres too many kids to worry about adults on either side of the family. We hardly get gifts, and we dont give any. On my side alone, theres 15 kids all 11 and under..4 born since September this year. On my husbands side theres 9 kids. So 24 children total with all but MAYBE 4 (i think just 3 tbh) being under 5 years old. Soo...no gifts for adults 😂

it's sad that I don't know enough of their current interests to know what kind of small gift they would like, which is part of why I just gave them money the past few years 😩

I might give them something small. There are a lot of small kids in my family otherwise I probably would continue giving them all something. Some of them should be giving my littles ones gifts to be honest 😅🤣 they have jobs

I think my aunties stopped buying us gifts around that time unless we were going to be together for Christmas

Lost friends since being a mum

Good morning! Can anyone relate to this!

My two friends and me have always been close since our early teens. I’m the first to have a baby.

One friend has big house, career and boyfriend

Other out of a long term relationship and being single having fun etc

Before baby we would all hang at my
Apartment, chat eat and just have
Fun.

Now I don’t even get a text to ask how my baby is, how I am. I really thought they would be awesome aunties. But honestly they don’t care.

They meet up a lot to do cool things, which I can’t be upset about as I can’t as I have my baby.

I don’t know I feel sad about it.

Am I over reacting?

31 weeks pregnant and lonely

How to deal with loneliness in pregnancy when your boyfriend goes out with his friends drinking 😅🥲 I only have three friends, two are never really free and one lives back in Liverpool and has her own set of friends where she goes to raves and goes on holiday with them lol. My boyfriend is going out soon for the night as it’s sunny and I’ll just be sat here crying like every single time! When does it stop 🤣
