Trying to limit the number of presents my daughter gets from spouse's family at Christmas. Is that a bad idea?

My spouse's family is not religious at all, but they still go big with Christmas presents. It's a big family so shopping for Christmas is always expensive and stressful. There are only 2 children, my niece (6) and my daughter (2). For the past 6 years, my niece has been getting mountains of presents each Christmas that she voraciously unwraps, looks at the presents, tosses each one aside and leaps to the next one. She doesn't thank anyone, doesn't really care about the content of the presents, just wants to receive lots of presents. I'm trying to prevent this from happening with my daughter so I'm thinking of asking the family not to buy her many presents, or pitch in together to buy 1 significant one. Do you think that would be offensive to them? Would you see that as a direct criticism of the niece? And more importantly, would I be ostracizing my daughter but not letting her have as many presents as the rest of the family? Caught between trying to make her appreciate things and not treating her unfairly. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/37tNnoS
