[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am a BFES mom of a 5th grader.  I usually give her $40 to use every weekend for toys and shopping at Montgomery Mall.   It's not that much.   Are others giving more?[/quote]

That's a lot.   My 4th grader gets $7/week, but has to put money in savings and give some to charity.  And every weekend?  Is this the norm over there in the churchill cluster?  Feeds into the stereotype of the spoiled kids.[/quote]

Mom of a 6th grader in the Whitman cluster here -- $40 EVERY WEEKEND?  Is this a troll?  My kid does chores in exchange for an allowance (that is pegged to the number of chores accomplished weekly, usually no more than $7-10, and sometimes less).  She can spend THAT money for toys and other wanna-haves, but mostly she saves it.  I will occasionally pay for outings with friends, but it is not weekly, and probably wouldn't total $40 unless it's something special like a day at the amusement park.  I agree with others that what the PP describes above sounds excessive.  Glad my kid hangs out with a more low-key crowd.[/quote]
