[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that people give their grown and presumably independent "kids" money for their birthdays? I am not from here, so this could be cultural on my part, but I find it verty strange. Dinner out, or a card and a nice bottle of wine, tickets to an event I can see, but just cash? Unless he struggles financially, of course... But even then perhaps not as a b-day present...[/quote] My American in-laws (I'm American, too), give money as gifts for birthdays, Christmas and anniversaries despite the fact that their children make much more money than they do. The kids in that family tend to give gift cards. My husband jokes that they should all just exchange bank account numbers and at the count of ten on Christmas simultaneously deposit money into each other's accounts. It's a little odd and not very personal, but I think everyone just wants to give what they think is most useful. [/quote]
