[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Allowance? I pay tuition, room, food, books, fees. The rest is on my kids.[/b] That’s what summer jobs are for. You need to wean them off the payroll [/quote] That's easy to say, but even in those categories, how from a practical standpoint does your student pay for the workbook that they have to buy mid-semester (which would fall into the "textbook" category that you cover)?You really don't give your child any money to buy a stick of deodorant or a tube of toothpaste? [/quote] Like I said, we pay for tuition, room, food, BOOKS, and fees. If he needs a book midsemester, he buys in, texts me “hey mom I bought a book for $75” and I Venmo him $75. And no. That’s why they havesummer jobs. Why would my kid need me to fork over $2.25 for a tub of toothpaste?[/quote]
