Much is written about the huge amounts of money paid out by parents during their children’s lifetime.<\/p>\n

But, according to new research by M&S Money, UK grandparents are shelling out an average of \u00a36165 in cash or gifts for each grandchild during the first 18 years of their lives.<\/p>\n

More than one in five grandparents spend more than \u00a350 on Christmas gifts per grandchild and 11 per cent spend even more at birthdays.<\/p>\n

A 20 per cent of grandparents admit spending more on their grandchildren than they ever did on their own kids.<\/p>\n

During a grandchild’s first year, grandparents are also helping to pick up the tab on baby equipment, including an average \u00a374 on the pram, \u00a352 on a cot and \u00a345 on toys.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
