[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Entering the territory of makeup and body scrubs, etc.. which I as a parent will always provide for hygienic items but for fancier items that are more costly like certain brands of lip glosses, eye lashes, mascara, body scrubs, lotions, body sprays, what is reasonable for a teen to pay for? [/quote] Once my kids were old enough to have jobs we had a conversation about needs and wants. I told them I would continue to pay for their needs. They were responsible for their wants. Sometimes they confuse needs with wants. So we had to define some of that: — social outings — takeaway food on their own (including Starbucks trips etc) — Clothing beyond basics for school — gaming stuff — impulse Amazon purchases (music, video games etc) Makeup/perfume and beauty products etc are in the “want” column even if they think they “need” it. Even toiletries beyond the basics are in the want column.[/quote]
