Many of us have blended families - step-kids and bio-kids - and holidays can present unique, challenging situations. Our next Bonus-mom is seeking input on how to handle one such scenario - please offer her some thoughtful, encouraging advice! would like to do Santa until they are old enough. However my husband says we cant do that because his daughter isnt there with us. Before you jump down my throat let me explain that on Xmas eve SD will be celebrating with bio mom and bi mom family and get to open gifts. Then on Xmas SD gets to celebrate Santa and open gifts with bio mom and stepdad. My husband thinks that our kids cant do this until their sister comes for Xmas so this means our kids get no gifts from parents, no gifts from Santa and cant open gifts with their cousins (my nephews) on Xmas because SD isnt here. I say that is hurtful to our future children especially when they get to an age that they understand whats going on and will cause sibling issues. My husband says that if we do a different ritual they wont know the difference. Im upset and hurt that its okay for his daughter to celebrate Xmas but our potential kids are not allowed to because she isnt there. Any suggestions or tips to help solve this?
