[QUOTE="AnnieO, post: 370957, member: 6705"] MG - oh my. I was an only child/only grandchild on one side, so that was never an issue for me - and on the other side, my cousins lived too far away. With Onyxx and Jett, we try, but they're so different - well, last Christmas Onyxx got Guitar Hero - HUGE box - Jett got a DS package, several games, headphones, etc. His actually cost more. I try to keep the number of gifts even. My parents? Seem to do pretty well at this, too. father in law? Cards and money for all. mother in law? Spoils Jett rotten - because he visits her. Everyone else is old enough to be tired of her machinations. But she just buys and buys and buys, for everyone. Maybe your husband can say something like... "I know you don't get to see <grandson> as often as you'd like, but it's really[I] starting to look[/I] like you're playing favorites. What can WE do to make it LOOK better?" Just me $0.02. [/QUOTE]
