[quote=Anonymous]The best conversation I ever had with my then 13yo son: Me: "I'm not buying you stupid crap anymore. If you want to buy stupid crap like that you, gotta earn your own money" DS: "So if I earn the money, you won't say no to me buying this?" Me: "No, it'll be your money" He now spends his free days shoveling in the winter, mowing lawns in the summer, washing cars, walking dogs, etc. He earns thousands of dollars. And the beauty is that he no longer spends it on stupid stuff like v-bucks or new COD skins. He's saving for a truck for when he turns 16 (which I'll likely split with him, but he doesnt know that yet) As a PP mentioned, if you tell them to earn their own money, you have to relinquish control over their spending as well. It's the best way for them to learn[/quote]
