In my experience, money is one of the things which causes the most friction within families. Within groups of friends, lending money alos often leads to falling out, as do some discussions over politics and religion (other subjects can also be contentious).
I try to avoid this at all costs. I am fortunate that my job means that I can be called out at any time, and I have a few friendly clients who will call me if I send them a text.
I'm sure this is actually a lot less salacious than it sounds! I try to avoid this at all costs. I am fortunate that my job means that I can be called out at any time, and I have a few friendly clients who will call me if I send them a text.
Either way I'm keen to learn more, just in case!
The daughter is a partner of a PR company, part of the reason for the birthday gift may be guilt money and to do with the daughter not egtting along with her step father.
We didnt give a response to the 'what would you do' question, none of our business. The daughter lives 100+ miles away, hasn't been home for 6 years.
Personally, I would be more alarmed at the thought that one partner could dump a mentally ill partner that the issue of the daughter and her money.

I turned 30 last week.
I wouldn't have appreciated a gesture like that, personally, and I barely earn a third of the 30 year old in the OP's post.
For my 30th my mother gave me a watch, which is something I can treasure, as well as a couple of other personal gifts I can enjoy for longer the £10k would last me.
I'm not saying I wouldn't like ten large, of course, just not in the circumstances above.
