so, I had our newest addition Thursday night and my mom brought my grandma over Friday to meet her. When she got here she handed me an envelope and said something about how it wasn't as much as she gave the other kids, but she had to struggle to give even that much.
So, my question is, do I cash the check? Part of me feels like I shouldn't because she sort of implied she can't afford to give it, but the other part of me doesn't want to seem ungrateful or rude because obviously she wrote it so she wanted the baby to have it. WWYD?
Re: WWYD
I think you should cash it. Old people get offended easily over things like money. You don't want her to think you think she's broke or dishonest (aka, writing a check she can't cover). What does your mom think you should do?
BTW, I like how you're all nonchalantly like "so, I had our newest addition Thursday night." LOL. You're awesome.
I would probably cash it. I wouldn't want her to think I was ungrateful either.
Also, can't wait to meet your beautiful baby!
Put it in an account for the baby's future. If she ever needs help (monetary or service - lawn care, cleanup, etc), help her out.
Congrats ont he new addition.
I like this idea. You could even plan on spending it on her (buy her groceries if she needs and blame it on "a great sale you happened upon" or something) and, yes, congrats!
I agree with everyone else. Cash the check or start a savings for the new baby.
Congrats again on the new addition!
I like the idea of cashing the check but putting the money aside so that you could use it to help her if you are worried that she might really need it.
Congratulations on your new arrival - I can't wait to get back on FB so I can see pictures!
