The girls have started asking me for an allowance. I tend to agree at age almost 8 (as in this month) and 9, they are old enough to get an allowance.
But I have a few questions.
When did you start giving your kids allowances? Was it a set amount? Did they get it no matter what or did they get it based on doing their chores? (I kind of like the idea of putting the chores on a bulletin board with a dollar each and if they do the chore, they get the dollar–ownership in the process). Can I be so nosey to ask how much your kids get? Did/does it go up as they age?
I would love to hear your thoughts on allowances.
Thank you,
Survive til you Thrive!
