Say you donated a lot of money to a family that was expecting sextuplets or septuplets, but only one or two of the babies survived. Would you want your money back?

If a family expecting higher order multiples receives a free SUV or house, but only a couple of the babies survive, should they give those expensive items back? Does it make a ( Read more... )

No, the money was a gift, not a loan. It wouldn't be their fault the babies died. Plus, they could use for the money for the children who are still alive and possible save it for them as well.

No, again. The items were gifts.

Agreed.

Per your edit:

I would think it'd be a good thing to donate the extram items to families in need.

macabre September 23 2007, 01:34:24 UTC

lol, more to add.

But I wouldn't harrass them to. It'd have to be their choice.

If I give someone a wedding gift, and on their honeymoon they have a terrible accident and one of them dies, I don't ask for the gift back!

A gift is a gift, it's not like they aborted 7 out of 8 after they got all the loot lol.

If they had decided to selectively reduce later on would you want your gift back?

abbierose September 24 2007, 00:02:36 UTC

lol, no.

the only thing that would make me mad, would be if they were faking the whole thing or something - but even then, if it's a gift, what are you gonna do.

cynica September 23 2007, 01:35:05 UTC

Yes, I'd require 2/3 of it back.

Gifts should be unconditional. I'm sure the grief of losing multiple babies would be awful. They would still be able to use whatever was given to them.

g0ldenr0ad September 23 2007, 01:37:10 UTC

They wouldn't really need like, seven cribs and carseats anymore.

aerolite September 23 2007, 01:39:21 UTC

In that case they should either donate them or find out if the people that bought them could return them.

i wouldn't donate money to someone having sextuplets.

g0ldenr0ad September 23 2007, 01:36:45 UTC

I probs wouldn't either. Unless it was like my sister or best friend or something.

macabre September 23 2007, 01:38:26 UTC

Yeah, I probably wouldn't donate money, but I'd probably donate baby items that were being unused.

g0ldenr0ad September 23 2007, 01:40:20 UTC

True that. I'd donate whatever gently used shit I could find, but I'd do that to anybody who was having a baby.
