[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The differences between older and younger generations are very much like cultural differences. When your MIL had young kids the culture was different. Kid loses a tooth, someone pops a quarter under the pillow. Nbd. Now people come up with schemes, tooth fairy notes, glitter, expensive gifts and photo ops when a kid loses a tooth. It's a BIG DEAL. I would give her a break for not knowing that you think it's a big deal and wanted to handle it yourself.[/quote] I agree with this. Also, if you look at it from your child's perspective, losing a tooth is a big deal, and getting something from the tooth fairy RIGHT AWAY is so cool! (Plus, that's what kids expect.) To make your child wait because YOU wanting to be the one to do the task would not be fair--it would be making it about you instead of about the child. You can't make your child wait for milestones because you don't happen to be there. [/quote]
