... Christmas for each kid. I stated that because we have his girls 50% of the time and don't have them until Christmas day that we have a bigger budget for my kids because they will only receive from us. The girls have their mother and always receive great gifts with her. My husband got upset because he wants it all to be even. I understand that and I never treat the girls unfairly but I feel that because my kids don't receive from their father and only from us that their budget should be a little bigger ($50 more). Am I wrong?

or:I think you're correct, your kids don't get gifts from their father, so the budget should be a bit higher. Then again I see where he may be upset, I think you should explain it to him a little better. Sorry if my advice didn't help.
