[quote=Anonymous]My kids have contact with their grandparents who live in town. We moved into this town because they outright gave us 100K to put as a down payment on a house in this town. And then an additional 20K year exclusion gift. (10K from each parent, at the time) I appreciate now how my in-laws basically put a tractor beam on all their kids. Without outing us, they did it 8x by 100K and now all their kids and grandkids live near them within a 20 mile radius. We basically got the house and the kids' educations funded ... we didn't touch that money except for house or kids 529s. As an elder now with 2 grandchildren, we have FaceTime we have zoom we have texts and pictures. It's not the old days of envelopes and even polaroids. My daughter has a newborn and I had to sit on my hands even thinking about holiday cards. That may have already been 10 years ago. I'm not traveling anywhere anymore. But they can bring babies and kids to me. [/quote]
