[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does this have to do with your MIL?[/quote] Op here. My MIL is against telling kids the prices of items. She thinks that only adults should know how much something costs. She’s now brought this up in front of the children that they shouldn’t know how much things cost.[/quote] Etiquette says that kids (and other people) shouldn't ask other people the cost of things they own. So it would be rude for your child to ask Grandma how much she spent for her new shoes. (If she's curious she can just google it like the rest of us!) But it's very important for kids to know the cost of things they want, and gradually they can learn more specifics about things they might want in the future (e.g. an expensive house) and what it would take for them to be able to own that.[/quote]
