Does she have chores that coincide to allowance earnings?
I've somehow, myself, landed on the non allowance path. Kind of have evolved into this way of life, yet, I've grown appreciative of how and why through thought out planning those that don't give allowances choose such a path. It didn't happen overnight. In turn, homelife has evolved into planning, forethought and consideration. Needs, wants, realities, have become the work in progress result. Chores, have turned into pitching in because we all live here. My next stage is teaching how to cook, as they are all asking.
Mine, when allowance time rolled around, would in turn expect to be rushed out to the store. It became too much to bear. Do they still get some of the newest games a couple of times a year? Yes. Did eliminating a weekly allowance open that up? Yes. Do I still expect good polite manners to others? Yes. Do we hold open doors for strangers? Yes.
