Money Moral Dilemma: Should I offer my kids a better exchange rate?

eao

A good opportunity to skim off a little more for yourself, offer them 5 and be really satisfied.
Incidentally, a previous post, b****h, I am still trying to work that out.

You've been very generous already taking your children on holidays with you. Don't worry about the money thing, if anything they owe you

A sight easier to take your own children on holiday with you (when you are going anyway) than to have Social Services knock on your door because you've left them at home to fend for themselves whilst you went away enjoying yourself!!

Of course the poster should give the children the rest of their money. To have your own parent steal from you is not a "life lesson" it would be very nice for those children to have. Other people will try and steal off them/cadge off them/etc soon enough when they reach adulthood without their own parent having a go at them in childhood.

Just give them another euro each when you're over there and have some change.

Then you're right within a few pennies/cents and they're probably ahead looking at the current exchange rate, even if you do everything right and get the best exchange rate yourself.

Why are you short changing your own children?!

Most people are generous with their own kids, glad you're not my dad, or perhaps you are as mine was a mean, tight fist who lied too.

Well, what you sow, might come back to bite you in the rear one day - remember when you're old and left to rot instead of a pair of loving kids, because treat them mean - who knows what will happen

I was always generous to my kids, I would never do what you're planning

I think you're being very mean

Now give them 20 euros each to spend and enjoy the happiness it'll bring them

We have had the same situation for years..it is absolutely the easiest, quickest and most understandable way for young children to know that £10=E10..way complicate things? The way exchange rates are today, it might even be equitable! I would think that way more will be spent on their behalf during you hols so what is a few cents?

What a meanie you are. Unbelievable. Or you just want to wind us all up?!

Can't understand why you don't just give them the same exchange rate you got for yourselves. Anything less is simply ripping off your children.

as it's 'holiday money' then £10 ~ €13 - €15
