Does your dc have pocket money? How often do they have treats-sweets/chocolate?

[Sunsouttoday]

Dd, 4 years, 6 months has got to that stage now where she wants something all the time (wasn’t like this before)
If we’re food shopping, it’s sweets/chocolate or a magazine or a toy, she gets really upset if she can’t have it and I’m constantly explaining how she can’t have things all the time etc etc
I was thinking of saying at the weekend, she can have a treat-maybe giving a couple of pounds pocket money to choose something herself, is she too young for this?
I’m hoping it would stop the constant asking and we can then have it as a Saturday treat sort of thing?

I remember us thinking similar at that age. We did go with the pocket money. Funny how they wanted alot less stuff when it was out of their own money!

@Vintagecreamandcottagepie I’m thinking it’s the only way to sort of Control it 🙈 Just wondering what other parents do, if we’re out, she’ll ask for a kinder egg and so on, but if we’re at the shops most days that week, it’s far too much. Or she’ll ask Dh to bring her something after work. I think if I can say, just weekends 🤷🏻‍♀️Wasn’t keen to label chocolate and so on as Treats and just be casual and balanced about it, but she’s becoming a nightmare with asking for stuff and causing a scene now. Don’t want her to be spoiled

Not sure why part of that went in bold 😅
