There was the option of 5,10,25,100,500, and then 1000 gold. I gave her 1000 dollars but it wonder if they will do anything with it. After i gave her it she said something about buying the entire market or something.

Probably just depends on how generous you are.

I'd probably do 100. I want my kids to have what they need, but no need to raise a spoiled brat.

didn't want to create a new topic for this, but has anyone noticed the fathers love bonus? healing spells and pots restore 25% more for 8 hours

That alone is worth adopting for, I think.

Hell, I may even have my Khajiit do it now.

EDIT: Well, not now. 29 days (or whatever) from now.
