Archaea Intervention Needed
RE: Old CBers. What was your budget for graduation trip/gift for your kids?
I received nothing.
HS: My dad's words were: "a gift for graduating? Graduating was an assumption."
College: Nothing.
Law School: Didn't even show up.

OTOH,
We purchased the laptop recommended by BYU, an Apple laptop for each graduating senior from high school.
From college, we gave $400.

In light of the fact we paid for the entirety of their college education, it seems odd that getting them off the payroll somehow entitled them to another gift.
