Hi,

after just engaging with a similar thread, I’m interested in peoples views in this…

would you/ have you borrow(ed) money from your Children’s savings, and if so, did you feel guilty?

my kids are older now but I borrowed from their savings accounts a few times, always repaying it over time.

i think it’s fine, but others think it’s scrounging/stealing! What do you think ?

My parents did once, the washing machine packed up. My mam asked/told me (was maybe 11?) and let me know when the money was back. We needed a washing machine so it was a no brainer.
