Do you give parents Ang Bao for CNY?

[Walkingtree]

Only give to grandparents. Then we do the "need-no need-need-no need" routine

My grandparents (when they were alive) will take from me, pass to my two kids together with their own. So each of my kids get 2 angpows from my grandparents.

[Celicar]

Definitely must and must be the biggest of all.

giving 1k to each parent considered alot?

[Shull]

It's a custom in my family for working children/grandchildren to give ang pow to parents and grandparents..

 

Token sum will do, since my family is HUGE and grandma has 30+ grandchildren..

considered average nia in mcf.

hmm so actually quite many pp actually will give parents ang bao.. cos heard pp said if not married no need to give.. which i think not so right..

 

No need give.. provided if you been given them monthly allowance lah..

 

Before marriage, dun usually give because you give a sum monthly for their expenses.

After marriage, if you dun stay with and give them significately lower or no allowance.. then give during CNY. If you give them good amt before CNY, then of course ang bao is small... If you dun need to given them $$ for CNY, then give big big as ang pao lah...

The giving og ang bao to the old folks means alot to them. They really appreciate the well wishes given them.. So for me it's a must.

I give each parent $1000 each.... they in turn save it in this joint account they have started for me since I was a kid.... so ultimately, it becomes like additional savings cuz all the money in that account will come to me eventually.

yeah.. it's quite sad that ppl need to come to forum to check out if it is neccessary for them to give to their parents.

 

We give to our kids whatever we could afford. Buy toys , buy clothes for them... Send them to classes they may not need... even move house so that they could go to the best school.

But when it comes to parents, given or not give ang pao need to ask forum... and see if others are doing so.. How much also need to discuss , check market rate.... *sigh* Give also in view that they will give you back... :| if my parents is going to deposit back into my account.. I will buy something really expensive.. for them instead.
