Is it okay for a dad to take their allowance to buy groceries then give them an allowance then expect them to pay for their own snack then tell them to sell recyclables to shop?

Answer 1

It is really up to the parent and the money situation may have an influence on that. I don't nessicarliy agree with this, but a lot of children don't even have an allowance. So if a parent cuts the allowance to nothing, that is okay....and I agree with it. But if the parent gives the child an allowance but wants them to buy their own snacks, well, that is really just the parenting style. If money is tight, the child is going to have to make cuts just like the parent. But no one should force any child to sell recyclables. It would be a suggestion for a money making opportunity, but shouldn't be forced. Keep in mind this is just my opinion. The parent has the overall decision in the end.
