We don’t buy for adults, not even each other.

I always give mine money in an envelope addressed to
both of them, I also do a
"stocking " each and spend roughly the same on each. I would be embarrassed to give my son a lot more than DIL

He can spend on something for them both if he wants can’t he ? Your husband is correct.

Hello smile

I have joined here to try and get your perspective please.

We bought our DIL two presents for Christmas. But bought our Son a few more and gave him some cash. He wasn’t impressed and didn’t see why we hadn’t just given the money to them both to share.

I think he’s making an issue out of nothing. He’s our son, it’s surely normal to spend more on him?

My husband also thinks our Son is causing unnecessary drama.
