[quote=Anonymous]As a parent I sort of hate this situation. Our youngest and final child is graduating college soon and of course "needs" to send out her Graduation Announcements. The problem is I feel like it's putting her hand out looking for cash and sort of puts people in a weird situation. I hate having my kids sending these out because it sort of forces friends and family to send money back when maybe they can't afford to. My wife and I always send something when we received these but I'm not comfortable in basically asking for free money. Seems tacky.

I understand my kids excitement about doing this after years of studying hard but it's always been a little strange for me. Our family doesn't have a lot of relatives so our kids have never had a lot of these to send out to begin with. Some of our family members don't even reply back with a card, let alone money. How do you explain to your kids that their relatives don't even have the common decency to at least send a congratulations card.
