My 14 y/o GD was my only grandchild for eight years, so yes we spoiled her rotten, getting her everything we could every year for birthdays and Christmas (including a couple of WDW trips, four wheelers, dirt bikes, etc). When she was eight, our younger son had a little boy but it was still fairly easy to spoil them with bigger presents for birthdays and Christmas. However, in just the last three years we suddenly went from 2 to 6 1/2 grandkids (have another grandson due April 1st). I told my GD that Christmas was not going to be as big this year as she's used to. She said she understood as there are so many GKs to buy for now, but I could tell she was disappointed. She did make a comment that it wasn't her fault that she suddenly had so many cousins (plus 1 1/2 stepbrothers). My GKs are 14 y/o, 5 y/o, two 2 y/os, 1 y/o, and 1 month old, (plus the one due April 1st). As a grandparent how do you go from overinduling them and how much do you spend on each? Several times my GD has mentioned us buying her a car when she turns 16 y/o. If she was an only GK we probably would, but no way can we do it with seven to buy for. Also I used to take her on alot of GM-GD trips (WDW, San Antonio, etc). Now with all the other GKs I can't afford to do that. I guess I just need to vent. She lives with her mom (my exD-I-L) and I just hate that I'm having to cut out alot of the stuff we used to buy her. However, with all the other GKs to buy for, we know we have to be fair and can't afford to buy huge gifts for all of them. With seven grandkids how much would you spend on each and what are some good (reasonalbly priced) gifts for a 14 y/o girl who is just transitioning from a tomboy into a teenager who is just starting to like make up and boys? lol
