re: Adult family members still exchanging gifts

Yes. Only adults on my side I buy for are my parents, and my 16 y/o brother. Always get a little something for my godparents, but never more than $20.

Husband's side hands out a list and spends a couple hours going around opening gifts. All 20+ in front of each 30+ year old adult with a good job. It's....strange.


And by strange I mean stressful, excessive, unnecessary. I keep trying to find ways to ask for it to stop but it causes tension anytime I bring it up with them.
