[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]We do our kids ages every week for allowance. But it’s for chores around the house. If they don’t do the chores they don’t get paid.[/quote] Rather like this idea and something we might have considered. We do use their HS grade to “set” their curfew. Our senior DC has worked since age 14, did marching band (which is as time intensive as a sport), volunteers, and has a decent social life (dates sometimes get split although latest and longest BF paid the majority that he worked for, and certainly time out with friends is pay-your-own way). She would be mortified, though, if we offered to give her an allowance. We do pay for car insurance and phone service on our family policy/plan but she bought the phone and vehicle with her own funds and is responsible for gas and all maintenance/repairs. [point of reference: HHI hovers around 100 and we are in an RVA suburb][/quote]
