Yeah, $20 is over the top and you're setting a bad precedent.


When my kid was just getting out of first grade my now ex mother-in-law was getting ready to slip him a $100 bill for doing so and I cut her off. This was in 1984 and I wasn't going down that worm hole.

We don't do the tooth fairy deal. I don't think kids should become comfortable with the idea that some weird person in a tutu and a magic wand can just waltz into their rooms in the middle of the night and go rummaging around in their beds for spare body parts.

Same here. But that 25c could buy me a 16 oz. Big Giant Cola and a bag of chips or a bar of candy to go with it.

I used to get the stink eye from other parents at the bus stop for giving my kids gifts like DVD's or $20 gift cards to Toys R Us.
Their kids would say, " But I just got a dollar. "

And the parents would look at me like I was a sorry SOB.

Tooth Fairy gives cool money. Go to a bank and get $2 bills.

We did "special money"--dollar coins or sometimes $2 bills.

Only paper money would come if I was with the Grandparents, if I was home it was pocket change.

First tooth she got $20 because that was all I had and she pulled it herself. After that I went and got some gold dollars and gave her one of those.

I think it's $1,200 if you file single, $2,400 if joint.

We do $2 bills too. Easy to get from bank and very special to them.
The tooth fairy “got caught in a spider web” and couldn’t make her rounds one night. Had to add a small trinket to help with the devastation.
