[quote=Anonymous]Greenlight card and the $50 is only allowed to be charged at gas stations. 
Take all of these lessons into the future for when you are parenting older teens and college kids. They do apply. If I was giving my older teen $50 a week to gas the car up, I would expect him to be gassing the car up.  
Our culture is not as blunt and direct as most countries. If she is not receiving feedback from you that she should be using the money for gas, it's simply a weekly bonus. That's okay if you are okay with that.

Personally, I have a sick sense of humor and if this was my child, I would explain we have a new budget system and it includes greenlight cards. Put that money in the gas station category and see if the first charge for something else is denied because it isn't gas. lol.

Gas is expensive these days. If she's doing alot of driving, I would expect her to pitch in some. I also hate pumping gas so if you are always filling up the tank, it would be appreciated if she helps out on that too.[/quote]
