Uneven christmas spending update

DeeBee74's picture

Just wanted to update everyone...I talked to DH before Christmas and he was not too sympathetic about it. Any time we talk about money it is always the same, he doesn't agree with how I spend my money and says if I took his advice I would be better off, and we both leave the discussion thankful we don't need the others input on our budgets.

Who here has a big $ difference spent on Christmas gifts - bio vs step?

I have seen a few posts about gifts and I'm adding mine to the pile. Married for 3 years. Separate finances. I need advice on how to convince DH that we need a more even spending amount for all the kids next year.

I spend $300 for Christmas for my 12 YO son , thats what I have managed to save for the last few years. Son gets gifts from me and $100 from my parents. No grandparents on his father's side and father isn't in the picture.
