Pocket money for a 7 year old girl

[CeciC]

My DD1, 7 years old, if she could have some pocket money. Do you give any pocket money to your LOs and how much?

no dd (7) doesn't get any. Not planning on giving her any for the forseeable future really.

I am clearly tight. It's 10p per year of age and given on the condition that rooms are tidied on a Saturday.

£1 a week each. They each have something to do for it though - a daily, age-approriate job such as clearing the table. Goes into their money box to be saved for something they want such as lego.

There was another thread on this recently.

We do the 10p/year of age thing (ds 9, dd 7), and it doesn't get handed over in cash, it gets written up in a cash-book where it tends to accumulate like anything. Updated the cash-books yesterday, and along with tooth-money etc., they're both up to £40+. Chemistry sets & Sylvanian indulgences are probably calling.

Earlybird - re charitable giving - we do "choose your one charity for the year" at Christmastime & then do subscriptions on their behalf - dd has Lifeboats, ds has a dolphin-tagging research thing - then they feel a solid interest in one thing. Occasional school collections I just give them a bit for.

I would do the 10p per year bit but I shudder at the idea of finding the change.

DP is quite anti pocket money so it all falls on me, in any case .

£1.50 per week

Oh dear MI. I think dh has quietly allowed the pocket money concept not to have any ideological input from him.

Unlike the issue of girls' body images - dd's school is doing a seminar on girls & body-image & thereabouts, & I think we should go, not because dd has any kind of problem atm but just in case things start appearing later; & he thinks if I go I will start scrutinising her for dysmorphic things & go all weird. AIBU? or is he?

Will email you - but he is. Obviously.
