we are on a low income and are eligible for ds to receive EMA, worth £30 a week
but I'm not telling him that
he has a part time job just now earning roughly that amount, some weeks he earns nil though
I feel its better for him to work than for us to claim EMA and give it to him
I'm not sure if he'd still want to get out of bed at 8 on a Saturday for his thirty quid if he could get it just for going to school
he's not a boy who is greedy for money, he doesn't seem to want much material things
Am I being a mug here?
my gut says make him work, and learn that work needs done. he's 16
