DD (age 5) lost her first tooth 3 days ago and i slipped $2 under her pillow. She was so totally over the moon and excited and carefully wrote her name on the bill. She is 5, so she also has no concept of money, so didn't really care about the amount - but did inform me that her BFF got twenty.

In any case, we just flew into the in-laws home for spring break and GM told me (in front of child) that she can't believe I was so cheap and thst she gave her daughter $25 for each tooth and that was 25 years ago. (pretty sure that went right over DD's head)

She also told DD that the tooth fairy will come "again" tonight to visit her - i guess GM wants to make up for my "cheapness"

To which i replied - "of course, the toothfairy will come again - as soon as you lose a tooth"

Do I die on the wall for this "principle" (aka - the tooth fairy only comes when you lose your teeth and not at random intervals to leave you"extra" money?)?
Or do I let it slide and just pocket the money? (cause, again, my child has no concept of money yet)[/quote]
