[quote=Anonymous]This seems like a really weird way to approach money. How do you expect a 7 and 9 year old to get this message in such an abstract way? My children earn money or get an allowance for such things. So in this case they could chose to spend their money on the ice cream and then they won't have money for the big stuff they want. If they look an "ice cream loan" for it- then they would still have to pay it back our of their own kitty. The only message you are sending to them is that mom is in control of the money and she decides when we have ice cream. What you want them to learn is that by buying ice cream, they then can't get XXX that they have been saving for.[/quote]
