So for the last year, I have been giving my daughter $100 a week for allowance. A lot of of her friends and some of our family tends to think that is too much money for her to be given. She is 17 years old and to be honest, I feel that she does a lot so it’s justified. She helps with the house cleaning, the dishes, she mow the grass every other week and helps watch her brothers. On top of other things that she volunteers to do. She always tells us that we don’t have to give her anything but to be honest I love seeing my daughter happy and love seeing her be able to go and do things with her friends and even be able to treat them a lot of times. I’m just wondering though because everybody tells me that I’m giving her entirely too much. If you had it, wouldn’t you do it? Even though the answers aren’t going to change how much I give her I’m just wondering if I am actually giving her too much or if other people are just not realistic with the prices of things today.
