In today's Ask Amy column, Amy Dickinson responds to someone who is irked that their daughters haven't spent gifted money as they had requested.
I came into some money. I shared some of these funds with my daughters, with the intention that they would use the money to pay down the debt in their homes or to fix up their homes.It’s been over four months now, and she has only completed one small project on her home.My wife thinks that when you give a gift, it’s theirs to decide what to do with it.I’m with your wife. If your eldest daughter has consumer debt, it might be wisest to pay that down before investing in her home.
You could discuss this with your eldest daughter, restating your intentions, but otherwise I suggest that you should snip the tight strings you’ve attached to this gift.or send a letter to Ask Amy, P.O.
