It's new year' time soon. Are you ready to give your child money? How much are you going to pack for your child?
After someone counted a "national map of pressing the age of money", it was found that in addition to the level of the pressure money in Guangdong Province at 50 yuan, the level of the old age money in other regions is not low, basically more than 500 yuan, and some areas even reached tens of thousands of yuan.
Giving children money is actually particularly torturous.
Do not underestimate the amount of red envelopes, give more of yourself feel uncomfortable to suffer losses, give less to the other party is not happy may affect the future relationship, especially a careless, but also may cause unnecessary embarrassment and misunderstanding.
Yaoyao mother encountered this situation last year, Yaoyao mother has two babies, last year a relative to Yaoyao sisters wrapped red envelopes, surprisingly each person gave a package of 250 yuan, Yaoyao mother was particularly angry, and her husband complained "He gives less ah, must give 250, is this scolding children?" ”
In fact, most people do not care about specific numbers, generally 50, 100 more than each other or as much as each other.
This relative of the Yaoyao family is because Yaoyao's mother wrapped 500 yuan for the child, so when she returned the gift, she gave 250 alone. However, good intentions do bad things, 250 yuan is the same as scolding words, no wonder Yaoyao's mother is so unhappy.
In recent years, pressing old money has not only carried an auspicious meaning, but also slowly become an important tool for social interaction. How to give, how much to give has become very exquisite.
Therefore, these "taboos" that give pressure on the old money, you must know.
A taboo: the amount of money that is pressed is taboo
In many places, there are some numbers that are taboo, and if the red envelope uses this number, it is easy to cause dissatisfaction with the other party. For example, this relative like Yaoyao gave a child "250", the sound is the same as scolding, no wonder people are so angry when they receive money.
1, singular and even numbers are exquisite
In the customs of most regions, double is joy, single is mourning, and package is single, which will make the other party feel very obscure and cause dissatisfaction.
2, the number of taboos to avoid
Wrapping red envelopes, you must first figure out the local digital taboos. For example, some places do not like "4", "3", "7" and other numbers, so when wrapping red packets, you should avoid it, so as not to make embarrassment and make you unhappy.
3. How much of the amount is within your ability
Generally speaking, giving red envelopes can be a little more or the same as the other party. However, if the economy is more difficult and the pressure of red envelopes is relatively large, it is still necessary to choose to do what you can, and you must not exceed your own range of bearing, but make yourself unhappy in the New Year.
Second taboo: "differentiated treatment" of red packets
If there are more children on occasions, you must pay attention not to send "differentiated" red envelopes.
Some children will open red envelopes on the spot, and some children will ask each other for the amount, once they find that the difference is too big, the scene will be more embarrassing.
Therefore, even if there are relatives and friends who have a very good relationship with themselves in the occasion, as long as it is an occasion with many children, it is necessary to ensure that the amount is consistent to avoid offending people.
Three taboos: use old money
At the end of the year, there will be many people queuing up in the bank to exchange for new coins, just to send red envelopes to children!
Issuing new coins, one is the meaning of "resigning the old and welcoming the new", and the other is that the other party gets new money, and the mood will become better.
So prepare money for the child, try to change the new currency in advance, if not, do not use the old money that is worn and stained to the other party.
Four taboos: use the wrong red envelope
Some people are not exquisite, and they take a red envelope and wrap it for their children. As a result, some of them say "a hundred years of good union", some are "shou" or "hi", some are "joy of housewarming" and so on. That's embarrassing.
In particular, some elders will take the old red envelope to each other, to tell the truth, others will have a little awkwardness in their hearts.
A package of red envelopes is also a few dollars, and now there are many styles on the market, the types are novel, buy a few good-looking for children, the other party can be very happy just looking at the red envelopes.
Five taboos: carrying adults to give red envelopes
Some people give children red envelopes behind their backs, and as a result, the children secretly spend not to tell the parents, and the other party also thinks that you are stingy and do not send red envelopes to the children, which is also too uneconomical for you.
Red envelopes must be placed on the surface and given in front of the other parents.
In fact, pressing the old money is a sense of ceremony, in order to give the child a good luck. However, with the improvement of living standards, the amount of pressure money is getting bigger and bigger, and the pressure money is gradually becoming more social. Then when each of us gives red packets, we must know more about the etiquette and taboos of issuing red packets, so as not to spend money and be blamed, and the gains are not worth the losses.
