UPDATE Husband's Brother Demanded We Should Be The Ones Buying Xmas Gifts For All Kids In the Family
Published at : November 27, 2021
My husband has a very large family, in total I think his Father has 8 brothers/sisters. They all got married and had 2-6 children each. Now all their children are grown up and starting families as well. We are looking at easily I believe 15 children in the family as of right now. We all get together for Christmas every year at his Grandparents house... sounds great right? Right.
Normally after Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving which they also all get together for, we pick names for the children's gift swap. There is also a men and women gift swap which my husband and I who do not have children join in on.
Now... to give you an idea of how the gifting has been the last 10 years. Husband and I would buy gifts for his parents, his brother and wife and their 4 kids. Great, awesome. Works fine. Last year they said they would rather we just bought gifts for the kids, so we did. Same thing we'd always gotten them books at their reading level, PJs, and puzzles of some kind. They were upset but we couldn't place why, we also didn't get any gifts at all which we didn't comment on, but my Husband admitted he was a bit hurt to get nothing from his parents vs his brother and sister in-law getting gifts.

[Update] We (Husband 32M & Me 26F) have been told by his brother (37M) and SIL (30s) that we should supply all x-mas gifts for the kids due to our lack of kids??
