How much money for teenagers

[stelmaria]

I have 2 DSS (17 & 19) currently we give them £100 each for Christmas, DH and I also have DS together (3) and DS2 is due in February. I am wondering if it would be ok to reduce the amount we give the eldest next year to around £50, mainly because of our financial situation with DS2 coming. I am a SAHM and DH has a salary of £24000 which is quite tight to get by on, but we manage. I wanted to judge responses on here before bringing it up with DH.

But confusion according to some posters your 3 year old should just get a few empty cardboard boxes and some wrapping paper tubes to play with because he's only little so doesn't need more than that. Me a while your dsd should get £300 every Christmas for the rest of her life in order that she doesn't feel sad and unloved
