Wow. I think this harsh.

It not for us to say what client spend their money on nor how much is acceptable.

Some my client very generous, some not so much. But not my place to determine their priorities. End of day, I am service provider to them and they pay for my fees. Sure, I look after their babies but just because I have big responsibilities not expect big gesture based on my expectation.

I would be annoyed if my garbage collector, hairdresser, book keeper, car mechanic, all decided that the money for their bill not enough and that they all entitled to Christmas gift and they all entitled to decide what is acceptable expense of it.

Maybe be less disappointed if adjust expectations to be realistic. LOL Young family allowed to spend their own money on hardward floor and vacation if they choose. Not up to you to decide that if they can afford these they should be giving you gift too. LOL

Hmmm...expectations ....there are none....but certainly don't expect to have their garbage unloaded on me as a Christmas gift...KEEP THE GIFT...and put it in the garbage!
