Hi there
Just wondering as our 18 DD keeps informing us "Her friends parents give them money" every month and these friends don't have to work?. We believe that it is important for teens to work PT to gain life/social skills experience even when at college/6th form, I personally was living on my own at 18 and paying bills.
We as a family have a small income I work FT and OH is retired on state pension,
Im fed up hearing the same thing off DD - yes she is working a few hours a week though keeps harping on saying I want to give up work and you give me month - I'm afraid that ain't happening. Also she is hoping to be a uni come September so we've had the discussion about budgetting etc and also her own time management as we also get the usual I haven't got time!!,
Thoughts and advice etc. Thank you for reading x
