@shelley – thanks for sharing your experience. My husband has been quite opposed to an allowance so we haven’t done that. So far the kids have not been particularly acquisitive so we haven’t had too many arguments about expensive things. We shall see…

And it was theirs to use as they saw fit. One spent a lot on clothes and one did not! He spent it on other things. As they went thru high school we gave them less money — they needed to get a job to keep paying for some things. Added benefit – no arguing about if they could buy an expensive pair of shorts! I did not care – they were spending their clothes money as they wished!

*not “sunday” clothes or winter outerwear or winter boots.
