[QUOTE="gcvmom, post: 236115, member: 3444"] I also think you handled the situation well. As for allowances, there are lots of ways to go about it. What we decided on at our house is to give the child $1 for each year of age, per month. So on the first of each month, my 9yo gets $9, and so on. That amount has to last the entire month and is to cover things like book fairs at school, things they want at the store (beyond their basic necessities which we provide for), snacks, etc. It has helped control the "gimmies" when we're out at the store and also put a stop (for the most part) to money disappearing from home. My oldest still has impulse control issues, and that's just something we're trying to work on and hope it will improve as he matures. [/QUOTE]
