When you have a baby and people give them money…

…what did you do with it?

I had my baby over a year ago and my Mum & Dad gave him some money. I put straight into his savings account and it’s sat there since. They didn’t mention anything about what it was for; they left that up to me. I’d never, ever spend it on myself. I think the guilt would ruin me if I did that.

Anyway, did you use money like this for things the baby needed? Toys? Clothes? Or is it waiting on your child growing up, so they can decide?

All of ours were put in a savings account for them.

When she was born and any given for her Christening went in a savings account. Any given for birthdays or Christmas since has been tucked away and then spent on toys or similar when she needed something. Her birthday is in winter so she often needs new things around the summer time that birthday money is well spent on.
