Dear Abby: I envisioned them to give my graduating son $100. Isn’t that how it works?

Expensive ABBY: Past calendar year we attended my husband’s cousin’s son’s superior school graduation. We gave him $100.

Nicely, this 12 months our son graduated. All he bought from them was $20!

Are financial graduation items no lengthier reciprocal? I assumed that if anyone gave your child $50, that when their kid graduated, you would give them $50, as well.

Am I outdated-fashioned? Is this no longer how it performs?

I’m form of offended that they believed so minimal of our son, particularly considering that we gave their son so significantly.
