My soon-to-be daughter in law lives with us. I have three sons plus my grandson also living with me. I usually go all out at Christmas for my boys (even though they are 21, 20 and 18) but I am thinking of scaling back and just giving them a gift card this year. Is it required that I give my son’s fiance the same monetary value in a gift as I give my own sons? I feel uncomfortable because she does live with me.
