The holiday season is here, and with Christmas just around the corner, we're diving into one of the trickiest parts of blended family life: gift giving. In this episode, we’re unpacking how to navigate the complexities of buying gifts in blended families—from who buys for who, to dealing with judgmental kids, to managing awkward situations with exes or their families.  

We’re answering your listener questions, like:  

- Who should the gifts be signed from?  

- How do you handle gift money from grandparents?  

- What do you do if stepkids criticize or mock every gift?  

- Is it weird for kids not to buy gifts for their coparents?  

Plus, we’re sharing tips to make the season smoother, like setting gift-giving expectations, protecting your peace, and encouraging kids to create thoughtful handmade gifts. Whether you're figuring out how to balance traditions, handle entitlement, or just survive the holiday stress, we've got you covered.
