[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it possible that her allowance is too high or that you are giving her too much money? Your daughter sounds lovely and generous, but maybe she doesn't really understand the value if she has so much that she can cover her own wants/needs plus extra for her friends.[/quote] This. [/quote] +1 I would reduce the amount you are giving her or require her to make a budget, put some of her money into savings, and cap the amount she is allowed to spend on friends. I think baking or making gifts is fine. As an adult I have a friend like this and it's actually really difficult. She'll pay one time, but if I try to pay the next time she'll make a total fuss about it. I want to be fair and I don't want to have to haggle endlessly to pay my share and I know she sometimes feels taken advantage of-don't let your kid grow up to have this issue![/quote]
