Aibu to think losing teeth at 4 isn't exactly cause for celebration?!

[WobbleYourHead]

DD is in reception class and over the past couple of weeks there's been a few fb posts about how "exciting" and "wonderful" it is that DCs have lost their first tooth.

Am I just being miserable in thinking that this isn't particularly a cause for celebration --especially at 4 years of age

"My DC1 is 12 and has lost all his adult teeth."

I hope you mean milk teeth!

Ha ha - yes I did mean milk teeth.

My girl is 5 and just lost her first tooth, my MIL felt this was too early but I have no control over nature lol

Ds's friend gets £15 per tooth

Anyways yabu OP.

Dd hasn't lost any teeth yet (5.5) and is vvv annoyed because her friends have but ds didn't lose any until 7.5. He gets £1 per tooth but got £5 for 2 teeth he had extracted
Under GA. (taken out because of over crowding and not coming out on their own)

Haudy I always wonder what's going on in people's heads when they decide to give their child very significant multiples of the normal amount of money / presents - smacks of over compensating for something.... nobody can think £15 per tooth is the normal tooth fairy gesture (it has to be a coin damn it! What next - a bank transfer? Paypal? Bit coins?)

A boy in ds1's class gets €20 per week pocket money where €2 per week is average, and when the latest football collector album came out and the other kids were buying a couple of little 77 cent packs and swapping his parents sent him to thevillage shop with €100 and he bought up almost every pack so hhe'd be first to have all of them. No need to swap. No fun. Attempts to blackmail other kids into being his friend by tempting them with his doubles as he didn't need swaps. They do him no favours dropping insane (for an 8 year old in the context) amounts of money into his lap on the smallest pretext...

Not really relevant but sharing just because I find it interesting - in Finnish milk teeth are called milk teeth but adult teeth are called 'iron teeth' I just think that's a cool name!
