Okay, I freely admit that I may not fully understand all of "the rules" concerning kids and holidays, since I've never had kids, so I'm looking for some outside opinions here.

My stepsister had her second child back in October (firstborn is now 15), so the child is currently about 2 months old. Apparently, stepsister got her feelings hurt because I didn't buy any Christmas presents for the baby.

Honestly? It never even occurred to me to get anything for the kid. Her grandparents, etc. already give way more stuff than will ever be used, and it's not like a 2-month-old is even aware that anything is going on beyond, "I wish they'd quit putting that stupid thing on my head, it bothers my eyes."

Was I off-base on this one? Is it reasonable for her to expect The Munchkin to be included in the gift-giving process?
