Honestly…I wouldn’t expect my husband to pay for gifts for my brothers kids, or my cousins. On the few occasions he has paid for gifts, I took it as a favor and thanked him rather than take it for granted that it was his responsibility. Just like he has never expected me to pay for anything for his siblings’/their children, I’ve never questioned or made a face or anything to indicate that I had any issue with it.

For some people this may not sound very idealistic (“my family is his family” comes to mind) but I think its a practical solution and one less source of arguments.

If you’re working, then you should give your siblings however much you’re comfortable with, keeping in mind your family situation.

As for groceries, well…do you have a habit of picking up unnecessary items? or if you buy something but you don’t eat it in time and it goes bad? That could be a reason why he hesitates or makes faces if you get something. If that’s hte case, then try to change your habits…and if thats not hte case, then just ignore the faces/rolling eyes, whatever.

I agree :k:
