So I’m a father and I’ve been in a serious relationship with someone for about a year. She’s great! Her 7 year old daughter is also wonderful and the father isn’t a part of her life, so her mother has full and total custody. I have three children, two of which are 7 and 9. Her daughter is the first grand daughter in her family, so she always gets tons of gifts, toys, clothes, and random furniture from her family from all over the US. My children live with me part-time as I share custody with their mother. My question is this: How do I approach the subject of her daughter constantly receiving a TON of gifts from family and my children constantly feeling left out because my family has tons of grandkids (none of which get gifts very often from any family) and we don’t have the funds to go out and try to make things even ourselves. I’ve explained things to my kids, but it’s always just been her and her daughter before we moved in together last year. Do I say something to my kids? Do I say something to my girlfriend? To her daughter? Have her say something to family? I just don’t want anyone to feel less important and I do my best to always make all of the kids feel great. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/3osv5Ma
