Re: Disappointed
I my family beats all yours, like my brother send an email to my son when he turned 21 to wish him Happy Birthday, then carry on saying I wanted to send you some money but didnt want to upset your mum.
go figure
Then My Dad is the best one I call him to say its the kids Birthday please dont forget cause they really love to hear from you, but he goes oh I'm too old I forget, so i say okay I call you & you can wish them Happy Birthday, so he wishes them Happy Birthday than tells them I have put $100 in your mums account go & get it off her & get yourself some presents try to to explain that to your children that there is no money & we are very close.

We don't see my parents so that isn't an issue and I have to be honest my inlaws make an ernomous effort with the kids - they are their only grandchildren but they never forget birthdays, Xmas, Easter and they call at least once a week....
Oh no dont get onto money
My parents used to send kids 20 pound or so at birthday and xmas. When they stopped one sibling told me it was because they ( mother I think ) thought I was spending it and not giving it to the kids. :curse:
Its just any excuse to be nasty really, all the kids money was in their own little bank accounts. To even suggest I would pinch birthday money was ludicrous, not to mention insulting. Plus the pretty obvious fact were hardly poor.
I really cant comprehend the levels that have been gone to to 'get back' at the move to OZ.
It makes me sad
