[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Kudos to those parents that give their kids some cash. And I've never seen so many smug cheap-ass "no spending money" parents in one forum at one time. How hard is it to throw your kids some dough every month to have some enjoyment beyond studying their ass off? [b]My son knows the value of money[/b], already has had several jobs, but I'm not going to use the 1950's tough-love hyperbole during one of the best times of his life. He can have a couple hundred bucks when he needs it. What do you parents need it for, one more set of D-bag golf clubs or extra bespoke seat heaters for your latest Range Rover Double Supreme?[/quote]
So does mine. That's why he uses his own money, not mommy's, for beer and concerts.[/quote]

Expected response. Amusing how you expect your kid to be a hedonist. Reference my "cheap-ass" comment.[/quote]
you're the one who brought up enjoyment and "the best times of his life." [/quote]

See previous comment where I said "I don't assume it's for heroin, pot, snuff films, grain alcohol". It's for dinner with friends, movies, clothing, Starbucks, etc. Amazing how you immediately think your kid is gonna splurge your rich-person cash on illegal or immoral gratification. What kind of parent are you?[/quote]

I'm the 1200/month poster from 2001. I used to go to the J Sisters place to get Brazilians and, obviously,  I didn't want to use the credit card for that - my dad would ask. Oh, youth. Also spent some at Filene's Basement in Boston,  I'm so sad that store closed. I've never use it for drugs or booze, those are free for girls in college. [/quote]

I'm sorry, but this just proves how incredibly spoiled you were. I would never have used my parents' money for personal grooming.

Genuinely curious - do you have a job now or does your husband give you an allowance? [/quote]
