Advice from Annie Lane.
I have been blessed with several grandchildren and was wondering if I could get some ideas on when to stop with birthday gifts. I am thinking that after their 18th birthday, I will just go with Christmas gifts.
I have heard stories where grandparents end up buying gifts for the spouses of their grandchildren and then the great-grandchildren. I truly can afford the gifts, but I would like to get out of this constant whirlwind. Do you have any suggestions?My suggestion for you is to stop giving gifts when you feel like not giving gifts. It really doesn’t matter if it’s birthday or Christmas or both. It truly is the thought that counts. But if you are going to start to feel resentful because it is a burden, then don’t give the gifts.
