[quote=Anonymous]My high schooler’s full time job is being a student and her part time job is being a student athlete. She also volunteers weekly during the school year. How are your kids doing all that plus a part time job? Summer jobs or sporadic sitting jobs are different. Making your kid stretch themselves so thin is bizzare to me especially if you have the means to support them. I give my HS dd $50/week as an allowance. Sometimes I give her extra if I feel like it. She also gets money for bday, holidays, and report cards. She never spends it all the second she gets it or blows it on ridiculous stuff. When she starts driving I’ll fill her car up too. My tween gets $15/week in an account that she doesn’t have free access to. She needs to ask for the card or we give it to her when she goes somewhere without us. There are plenty of ways to teach kids to be mindful with money without making them pick up a part time job during the school year. [/quote]
