Tooth fairy

Let me ask a question.....when one of your kids loses a tooth and a grandparent gives them money do you find it that they are over stepping their ground? My husband thinks my parents shouldn't give our kids money when they lose a tooth that the parents should only do it. I find his statement ridiculous!!!

My kids have received money from my parents and in laws when they lost their teeth but it was from them and not the tooth fairy.

I'm confused, are your parents pretending to be the tooth fairy? Or are they giving money from themselves?

I don't think it is necessarily a "thing" now, but yes, my parents and my in-laws give my son a few dollars when he loses a tooth. Don't think it is required or even expected, just a little something nice that they like to do.

Not really a thing I don't think. My parents just love to give money. Chat Icon
They only did it for her first tooth since it was a big deal.
She put it in her piggy bank

Re: Tooth fairy

Both set of grandparents and his great-grandma gave DS money when he lost both of his baby teeth.

It was from them and not the tooth fairy (and significantly more than the tooth fairy gave!) I thought nothing of it.

The tooth fairy money was still special because it came with a letter and he found it under his pillow.

DS was thrilled with all the money (he's saving for a mansion. Chat Icon )
