[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 426991, member: 1991"] We gave each of our kids $10,000 towards their weddings. If they spent more, it was on them. If they spent less, they got to keep the difference. We have actually kept the difference ourselves, the kids can ask us for it and have it when needed. Because we kept it, when difficult child 1 was threatened with bankruptcy, the extra money (because his wedding was by far the cheapest, and his in-laws did the same thing, gave them money) was not showing up in his assets. So when the insurance problems were all over and he has needed money, all they have to do is ask and we transfer what they want. It was interesting - easy child 2/difficult child 2 had the most expensive tastes, had the dream designer wedding dress that she wanted, but when she had to find the money herself and make ends meet, she found ways to have the wedding she wanted and still economise. It's a good way to make them more financially accountable. Marg [/QUOTE]
