When do you let go and accept that your child is not a kid any more?
He has quite a bit saved from the occasional grants from his grand parents and some from the monthly pocket money he receives. Over time we have observed his behavior in managing and using it for various purposes. He is never shy to spend it on his Chechi, buying gifts on her birthday. One occasion he was caught using the money to dine at some of the food stalls during one of the school events.
The biggest event yet was when he invited us to lunch at BBQ Nation at his expense to celebrate my birthday. He loves the place, and figured that my birthday celebration was the appropriate time to satisfy his palate and a good use for his savings. So along with the purse in his pocket we went and and had a gala feast. Then very adamantly he picked up the bill, dug into his purse, exclaimed.. that much...! and paid without a blink. Later I snuck the money back into his wallet.
Here he is ready with his payment.

There are certain stages in life you wish you had a pause button! This was surely one of them.
