[quote=Anonymous]I don't make my kids pay for any of their three meals a day. I feel it's my job as a parent to provide food, you know. ;) If they go out with friends to a movie or to Starbucks or something, that's on them. My kids also get allowances. They pay for things like cute clothes, apple downloads (music/games/movies), gifts for others, larger purchases like the iphone you mentioned. I'd definitely pay for bigger school events like prom. I pay for musical instruments. I pay for sports gear. If my kid wants something better than my budget, then s/he can contribute more to get the better item. My kids have had allowances since age 10. Not tied to chores. They all do chores. The money is to help them earn to manage it in smaller amounts. Plan ahead, save, and all that. [/quote]
