[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 409623, member: 1991"] Why can't he have his own bank account? Our kids here have school student accounts, they take pocket money to school and deposit it in their account. Later they can adapt the account as they need. difficult child 1 was useless with money. difficult child 3 is not much better at the moment. We made sure the only money in their account, was their money. We would not top it up at all, except with pocket money as agreed. We certainly wouldn't bail them out. And ANY money in the account, the kid would empty. And the consequences were - he had to wait until he earned more. It was the only way he could learn. If we had put money in the account of our own and said, "That $500 is ours, don't let the balance go below $500," the account would have been empty in days. Because we stood firm, difficult child 1 learned to manage his money. And difficult child 3 is learning. The hard way. It's the only way for some kids. Anything else is ludicrous. Marg [/QUOTE]
