Etiquette question

[pll]

I know I'm a bit of an extremist here, but:

• nobody over the age of 10 should expect a gift
• gifts to adults should be reciprocated

When the economy was tough, my extended family roughly lived by that: gifts to children only. The second rule is just common sense. At some point, it is the turn of nieces and nephews to give gifts.

All of these responses have been good food for thought.

When I look back on my original post- it seems I have 2 issues which I may have been rolling into one.

1) My nephew's behaviour

2) When to end the monetary gift giving.

I cannot do anything about his behaviour. I can end the gift giving at a certain age for all nieces and nephews. Which I think would be fair all around.

Thanks everyone for your thoughts and insight.
