Who takes charge of family events?

  • I do my family, DH does his, having said that we had a great niece born recently (his side of the family) and I ended up buying the new born a present as he didn't have a clue (I doubt he sent something when his nephew and niece were born as he seemed surprised we would send a present to a baby). Unless her parents ask for something specific for Christmas or birthdays i suspect I will be finding presents and hubby will pay.
