I am starting to find the holidays a little tough. DH and my neice's birthday is Nov 5th, mine is the 13th and DD is the 30th. Then my other neice is Dec 4th and my Dad Dec 6th. That is a lot of birthdays in a short time frame and of course we buy for everyone. Now at Christmas i have to buy for my parents, my two kids, DH and i buy something for each other that we would like (this year we are getting

We don't do birthdays except for our parents and our kids. At Christmas, we buy for our parents, our kids, and all the nieces and nephews.
It IS materialistic but you know I buy for 10 neices and nephews....my sister has 4 kids, SIL has 5, and DH's step sister has 1. How fair is it that we set a limit and I spend double + on our sisters kids? Kwim?
As for the step sister, we've made it known that we don't expect her to buy for both kids, if she wants to do something a small together gift is more than enough.
I buy for dad & stepmom, Mike's dad & stepmom (both our mothers have passed away), 2 nieces, and 6 nephews (2 nephews were/will be born this year). Then, gifts from Aly for aunts, uncles, grown cousins.
One of the nieces and 2 of the nephews are steps, so I don't spend as much as the others.
I do a gift exchange at school, Aly brings each teacher & bus driver a gift, and we exchange gifts with a couple that are good friends without kids yet. We'll add their kids when the time comes...they are like family.

On my side we buy for my sister's 2 kids at Christmas and b-days.
Man, I feel like a scrooge compared to everyone here!
We used to have the same problem.
Hi I'm new.
Hi and welcome!
I was afraid people would be offended too.
