to resist the tooth fairy peer pressure?

[aaaahyouidiot]

I'm a tooth fairy first timer. Other children in the class have had five pound notes, toys and one reportedly got a tablet! I'm planning on leaving 50p or £1. AIBU? Will I cause my child to be ostracised?

I too was imagining children waking to find an asprin under their pillow :-D

£1 in this house... when she remembers to turn up. Our tooth fairy's a bit shit forgetful TBH.

I think £1 per tooth sounds fine.

If your wanted to do something a bit special for first tooth, you could either do a little extra cash (maybe £2 or £5) or a little bonus present like a note from the tooth fairy or a tooth fairy book e.g. www.amazon.co.uk/Tooth-Fairy-Childs-Play-Library/dp/0859532933

I would be tempted to slip a nice new toothbrush, toothbrush case/guard and a mini tube of toothpaste under the pillow, as I reckon that's what the tooth fairy would actually want to give as a present, but I don't think that would impress most modern day children.

Another poster on a similar thread said that their tooth fairy had to leave a 'shiny coin'. I think that is a brilliant idea!

The 'fairies' that leave tablets or £20 notes must be really insecure! That is ridiculous.

£1 per tooth here. However, once the tooth fairy left a £2 coin; it was a day late, because she forgot (ahem) and felt guilty

I could never keep up! I actually disagree with the principle of what many of my DS ' friends (apparently) have. According to my DS, his friends have:
An iPad under their bed
Enormous bedrooms
No homework
Televisions at the end of their bed
Ice cream for breakfast.

I'm not sure how much is true. I'll stick to what we have and give though

May soon cave in to getting my own iPad and letting DCs play with it.

i'm a dentist and the average is about £1.25 per tooth
