This has been an ongoing situation at my inlaws. Two sisters buy for each other, their kids, and another family members kids. One passes out Easter gifts to all the kids and another passes out gift cards to Dairy Queen. My girls sit quietly in the midst of the uncomfortable event. Shouldn't they pass out their gifts in private if they choose to do so? I understand these sisters are close, but I would never allow my nieces and nephews to feel like I like certain ones better. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks!
Gift giving in front of others...?
You are absolutely correct. It's very rude to exchange gifts in front of children that are not included in the gift giving. Someone needs to explain to the sisters that this is very hurtful for the girls that are not included. It may not change things, but at least you will know where they stand as far as their feelings toward your children (and any others that may be present). Turn this into an opportunity to teach your girls something about manners, if you haven't already done so.
Reply:There will be repercussions. Your girls will not be close to them.
Reply:I would discuss this with the sisters. Your right, it isn't right and can make the girls feel like they aren't loved as much as the others. If the sisters don't understand you, you can be sure to be a few minutes late (usually around the time presents are swapped) so your girls won't have to see it next time at a family gathering.
