To not give DD any money

[Everythingwillbeok]

My DD is 17 and had her birthday the week before Christmas. She was lucky enough to get about £380 off friends and family.

Christmas came she got mostly presents but also got £130 off various family.

She has asked me to lend her a fiver today to go out with her boyfriend.

I'm fuming I told her on Boxing Day to not leave herself with no money while she's off college over Christmas/ new year.

I know she's been on a couple of shopping sprees but I didn't keep checking she hadn't blown it all as she's not a child.

She's now about to go out without a penny I feel shit but I can't hand any over can I?

But all kids are different, some need more support in certain areas than others.

Bigtillymint my ds has dyslexia ,dyscalculia and A.D.D. He learning about money management . Thanks for pointing out something I all ready know ??

Ah, OK. Sorry whatswrongnow - he will obviously need some more support.

bigTillyMint, thats ok, sorry for being snappy. I was just saying that he still got help with his money :-)
