[QUOTE="SuZir, post: 642094, member: 14557"] We still give a lot. Mainly because Joy is still a school kid and income gap between us and difficult child is still big. And because we can afford it without having to go lacking ourselves. Soon after difficult child had gotten himself to ton of money related trouble, stole from us and others and so on, we were giving him very minimal gifts to teach him a lesson, but he has shown more responsibility with money and stuff since so not much point keeping up that big lifestyle gap between us and him and also him and his peers. They will inherit us anyway some day. Not much sense to keep purse strings tight now that they are still low income and save more to then they are hopefully making a good living for themselves. And again we got a lot when we were young from our parents/grandparents. Time to pay forward. [/QUOTE]
