We are friends with a family who has 8 children. Their infant is our god child. The other children are ages 11 and up to college age.
We do not normally do a gift exchange with this family, though we have helped them out with Santa gifts for under their tree several years in a row when they were having financial struggles.
I would like to be able to buy a special gift each year for our godchild without being obligated to buy the other 7 kids a gift. Was feeling a bit awkward about it but buying for all 8 every year is not something I want to get started on.
(They have never purchased gifts for our kids who are now college age).
Anybody else encounter this situation?
