Dogmama: $500.00 is plenty or even less.
Sorry, these are mid-life adults, with established careers/ jobs for past few years.
I understand how you feel about your stepdaughter: one cannot expect a child not to have stronger allegiance to a birth mother if the mother has been a reasonable parent all along despite the upheaval of divorce.
Sounds like your hubby doesn't want to get caught in the middle of whatever again, so he ends up ambivalent.
I'm not sure why on earth people think that parents of mid-life adults should be supporting with alot of wedding money for their grown children in this way.... the parents should be saving for retirement and the adult children should remember this also of their parents.
I guess I'm lost. My family works totally the reverse. And very willingly, parents spent alot of money and self-sacrifice raising us.
