My little one isn’t even teething yet, but my wife and I were talking the other day about what we used to get from the Tooth Fairy when we were kids.
Has the Tooth Fairy kept up with inflation?
What are your little ones finding under their pillows?

I did $5 for the first one ever, however, weeks later she had a meltdown and demanded that the tooth fairy return the tooth. She even tried to put the $5 back under her pillow🤣.

What… I thought a twoonie was generous! You guys are all crazier than I am.
$5 a tooth, although I’m a little cheap and this was 8 to 10 years ago. Probably up to $50 a tooth now with the recent inflation 😁
It depends on how many small bills the tooth fairy happens to have on him at the relevant night. I’m only a little ashamed in admitting that, one day when only $20s were in the wallet, I may have snuck into the LO’s room, grabbed a couple of singles from her piggy bank, and then had the tooth fairy give her those (supplementing later, of course).

Bluey seems to have set the going rate to 5 Dollarbucks
That seems like a reasonable amount to me - enough to get a little treat or what-not, but not enough to destabilise the economy
What’s the conversion rate from Dollarbucks to Dollary-do’s?
I’m pretty bad at tipping, I usually give too much so I don’t know I just shove $20 and hope for the best lol.
Wow! $20! That just made me go look up how many baby teeth kids lose: 20. So you’re in for $400
Look… Math isn’t my strong suit okay I just really like my kids 🤣
But that’s 400 you won’t have to spend on whatever they spend it on ;)
We went down this route, and it’s one of my big regrets. Was AU$2 a tooth and a wish, which started as an easy and cheap soft toy (think a couple of bucks max). But it’s turned into $2/tooth cumulative, ie. Tooth 10 gets $20, tooth 11 gets $22 etc, and a wish… Cue late night runs to Kmart and lots of grumbling about why we are doing this.
SEE! I panicked and just started throwing money at the problem! I’m barely middle class on a good day so it wasn’t the best idea.

I love the origami idea!
When I was younger it was 2$ so by today standards according to inflation statistic it would be around 3$
Probably closer to $4 unless you are a very young father(assuming USD)
No but covid supply chain issues so $80
$5 here. The last one (like last, last) was $20. https://lemmy.world/post/75069
We do something a bit different. Rather than cash, we get a small toy and wrap it up. (Still in the $2-$5 range).
Still slip it under the pillow.
It’s fun to watch them unwrap it. 3 kids deep, and no one has asked why our tooth fairy does it different.
The “normal” rate is a Toonie a Tooth, but subject to the assessment, sometimes it’s a fiver.
Some might say it’s determined by the Tooth Fairy’s ready supply of change, but I’m sure it’s because each tooth is individually graded…
$2 in quarters for the 6yo.
1 shiny pound coin.
It’s a bit stingy but we will usually add it to some other money to get a cheapo toy.
