Instead of feeling the pressure to buy for everyone in the family, you could try drawing for names and putting a limit on how much can be spent per gift. Some large families even find it helpful to agree on not buying for adults in the extended family but instead each family pitching in a small amount of money to buy gifts for children.
If you are experiencing financial difficulties and find this is interfering with your parenting, give yourself the FREE gift of our eLearning course, Parenting in Times of Financial Shortfalls, Poverty, and Crisis Situations.
