Seventeen years ago, when my now-husband proposed to me, he gave me a small Our 10th anniversary came and went. I reminded my husband about the ring, but we had some significant expenses at the time, and ended up prioritizing an anniversary trip over gifts. I've tried to have a good attitude about this, but in recent years, it's started to hurt my feelings.
Gatti Tassin: I'm assuming this is about birthday gifts, but there are also the holidays. So, theoretically, if everybody is getting a present, that's 36 presents a year. I think that is unreasonable. It's natural in big families to have closer relationships with some people than others. There are other ways you can acknowledge someone's birthday or a holiday without feeling like you need to shell out money. Maybe it's sending a birthday card.
