Maybe yes, maybe no. It depends on how they allocate their money, whether they budget or not, etc.
Hmmm, maybe yes maybe no depending on budgeting? I don't get it.
If they don't 'do' gifts for whatever reason, fine. They just don't 'do' gifts and that's how it is. Every family is different.
If they WISH they could buy their child a gift and can't, then no, you can't afford another child IMO. Budgeting? Ok....50.00 for xxx this month, 100.00 for xxx, 500.00 for xxxx........oh look, nothing left over for that gift we really wanted to buy little johnny. LETS ADD ANOTHER BABY!
Wha?? Yep, spin the budget how you want.........don't get it.
ETA: I budget......I budget my dern butt off, LOL We have raised 5 children, so trust that I UNDERSTAND A BUDGET. If I put X amount of dollars into the emergency house repair fund, it doesn't get taken out of that fund because we want to go out and eat. If I put X amount into the college funds, it doesn't get taken out when someone needs a birthday gift...........so yes, I understand budgeting (and sticking to it) just fine.
Just saying, you know you have a child who's going to have a birthday or christmas the SAME TIME EVERY YEAR. If you DO gifts.......you know to budget for a gift EACH YEAR. So again, don't get the 'budget angle' thing.
