I guess the way to make money is to lose teeth!
SD7 just lost one of her front teeth right now and when she went back to sleep I asked DH if he had cash on him. He said he did and that he'd been carrying it for about a week (I guess he's been expecting it to fall out soon). I asked him how much he was going to put, and he said $10... :jawdrop:
"Ten dollars?! For real??? I used to only get a DOLLAR!! Maybe two at the most..."
He looked at me surprised and said that he used to get from 5-20 dollars...I guess depending on how good his parents were doing financially.
"seriously???..(he nodded) ..wow...sometimes, I guess when my parents didn't have cash, they'd give me quarters...and I always thought THAT was a lot..."
Guess I'm gonna start yanking out teeth too...wth...sorry, that's just weird to me...Way too much in my opinion..BUT...not my kid...

LOL. I refused to give BS
LOL. I refused to give BS money for a tooth. Instead I'd slip weird things like slinky's or cardgames or magic tricks (always had a secret stash of that stuff) ... okay, the play handcuffs was a bad idea when I got a call from school when he was in 1st grade and he locked a classmate to the jungle gym during recess.
My thought was that as a divorced mom, I couldn't afford the money that was commonly tossed around by the toothfairy in our neighborhood. So, I did dollar store surprises instead. Truly, he was thrilled and would have blown the money anyway on candy or some such ...
My 8yr old SD gets 15 dollars
My 8yr old SD gets 15 dollars a tooth from hex....she gets way too much money in CS
My skids get at least $20 a
My skids get at least $20 a piece from their BM. They haven' yet, but if they lost a tooth at our house, I'd put that nasty shit in a bag and send it home with them, tell them the tooth fairy doesn't have our address. I got quarters as a kid. I got a full dollar when I had to have teeth taken out by an oral surgeon.
I got a quarter for each
I got a quarter for each small tooth and a dollar for each molar. My SD got $10 for each tooth so far.......ridiculous. Then instead of teaching her to save all her money to buy something substantial, BM taught her to spend each $10 amount on junk.
6 year-old SS gets $5 to $10
6 year-old SS gets $5 to $10 from BM, which I think is ridiculous. Especially since she can't manage to buy her precious snowflake a winter jacket or other seasonally appropriate clothes. I used to get a quarter. Of course DH used to give the skid money (usually my spare change that he found around the house) for absolutely no reason at all and would make a big show of putting it in the skid's piggy bank in front of the skid. Fortunately, he stopped doing that once I explained that the skid should really learn how to earn the money otherwise skidly will just expect money to keep falling from the sky.
