[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]How is 17 year old supposed to buy you and her half or step siblings presents? Usuallyparents buy present for kids. If kids do buy something for a parent it is usually something small. If she has no money, how is she to do this? 
She is expecting a present from her parent who is your spouse. As she should, not from you really. She does not sound entitled. She could be wanting a Range Rover. Plus, pony up? She is your family, do you dread ponying up for your won kids presents? How many presents do you receive from your own children?[/quote]

I got allowance from age 4 to almost 14, and would start saving mid-summer for holiday gifts for family.  I would also ask my dad to hire me to rake and bag leaves through the fall.  I started working as a babysitter when I was 12, then split a newspaper route with my older brother when I was 13 and we would run out to shovel driveways in the winters, and at 14, I worked as a cashier at a supermarket.  I kept babysitting all through high school.  I worked at the supermarket about 15 hours a week.  I earned over $250 a month.  So by the time I was 12 I ABSOLUTELY had the money to buy people gifts.

You are hilarious...OMG, you saved your allowance?  You saved the money daddy gave you to do chores that other kids do for free?  Please recognize your own privilege.[/quote]
