[quote=Anonymous]My tweens have never had an allowance. I'd like to set up some sort of system where they get a certain small amount no matter what, plus an additional amount if they do their required chores either on their own or the first time I have asked, without a bad attitude. They have to do their required chores no matter what, but I'd like to give an incentive for just doing it without all the moaning and groaning and why me's. I'm not talking about major chores here, just the usual, clean up after yourself, take trash out, take your turn on walking the dog, little things like that. We have had a system where they can earn money for extra chores, and we can keep that.

So, what's the amount? In total and how would you break it down between the two categories above? The two kids are a year apart and very conscious of being treated differently. Their chores are the same; should the allowance be the same or does older get something extra just cause he was born first?

How much do you give your kids? I anticipate continuing to pay for all necessities and occasional wants, but they can use their money for other things they want or save it.[/quote]
