My 17 year old stepdd was getting £40 a month from us as an allowance which covered going out expenses, non-essential clothing, gifts etc and covered her baby-sitting for her younger sisters as and when.
We also pay for her mobile phone which is £30 per month.
She now has a part-time job in the evening/Sat two or three times a week and is earning quite well and has loads of money in the bank.
Should we continue to pay the allowance and/or the phone bill? It seems mean to stop paying just because she has a job when we pay the other dds their allowances/pocket money. We were thinking of saving it for her separately so she can have it for a holiday or when she goes to uni.
What do you do?
Thanks

Do you carry on paying a monthly allowance once they have a p/t job?
