Just curious what other parents on here do about pocket money for their kids.
My daughter is 11 and is really chomping at the bit for regular payments of cash being handed out to her. At the moment she has any birthday money she receives to spend throughout the year.(Although some of it is put into a saving account)
If I take her shopping I give her some cash to spend for herself. I tend to buy all she needs, and sometimes things she wants!
Now I know she has to learn how to take responsibility for money etc. I'm not sure about the whole paying-for-jobs-to-be-done-around-the-house thing as I do expect the kids to help out for free!!
(I think I'm really struggling with watching my hard-earned cash being chucked at Claire's Accessories every Saturday!
So...any advice really welcome.
I'm totally open-minded about this so am really looking to find out what others do.
Thanks in advance.
