[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think you can explain the rule and let the 18 year old know that you grandfathered her in this year as a welcome to the family. My mother did something similar for my stepson. Skip the gift cards and buy all three kids something thoughtful. Or buy a family gift in the form of an experience. $300 will get a nice day of skiiing for a family of five.[/quote] This is a great set of suggestions. Definitely explain the "rule" and the grandfathering act because it sets up clear expectations but also lays out that you're being thoughtful and welcoming. I like how you laid out the issue in your post, OP, so I know you will have the words to say it all as nicely as you have above. If you had put it all differently (worse/more bluntly) then I doubt I would agree about laying it out. Anyway, you sound like a very kind and thoughtful person. Merry Christmas![/quote]
