[quote=Anonymous]If my kids are getting dinner on the go after a busy sports day, and that means I didn’t cook anything at home, I would usually send them $$ for a meal (chipotle prices anyway) but that’s not all the time. I recommend making them ask each time for things like that, rather than a generous allowance. But yes my kids work. You want them to realize that two hours of work pays for some wasteful meal. They start to view it differently. My 15 yo only gets $30 a week from a regular 1x a week 2 hour babysitting usually and she’s learned to make it last and even save. If she gets a longer weekend babysitting job or she hustles and sells thrift finds on Depop she has money to buy bigger things she wants, so she does. Not to be rude about it, but I wasn’t going to raise my kids to have poor people’s habits, like spending every penny as soon as they have it. [/quote]
