Had a row earlier with 15 year old DD who thinks I'm being VU!! Now DH has made me doubt myself!
She announced yesterday that she was off to Westfield today with friends, all fine, nice she's going out etc, sister going too, same age. I mentioned money, as in you've spent this months allowance so how are you going to fund this trip, as I seem to be giving them both money every time they arrange something, despite them receiving £40 per month from grandparents.
So she asked what needed doing around the house, garden etc to earn some money. Great, I suggested a few things, although slightly torn about whether she should actually be paid for them.
DD disappeared back to her screens and finally emerged to unload the dishwasher and grudgingly picked up a few piles of garden cuttings and put them in the bin. Oh and she also hoovered her room.
Today her grandma gave her £20, so DD was all excited saying she'd have plenty at Westfield, I said well I don't need to give you anything now as you have money to go! She assumed she would still get a tenner or so for "all the work she did"
