Am I being too stingy with pocket money?

DD is primary age and we give her £80 a month. I was with friends with similar age kids at the weekend and each of them give their own kids a higher amount.

We aren’t particularly well off, certainly not ‘Mumsnet rich’ but I’d say we are fairly average earners for this day and age. I earn about £50,000, DH nearer &75,000 with bonuses.

I thought £80 was fair personally?

But I’m not the OP so why would you quote my post and ask those questions? It looks like you’re expecting me to answer them!?

Maybe I made a mistake thinking you was the op
