Re: How poor were you as a child?
My children do get a fair amount of stuff,
but they have to "work" for it, so to speak
My 9 yr old has chores to do in order to get £5-00 a week
If she wants to miss a chore then I take a pound off
If she doesn't want to do them at all then she gets no money at all
No phone top up, no new game
My 4 yr old lad also does "chores"
He has to make his bed every morning and dust,
in order to get £2-00 a week
This will get him a magazine a week
Same applies for him, if he doesn't want to do it then he is made
to understand that he will not be able to get a magazine
and the rest of the money goes in his money box
We had nowt as kids tho, probably weren't as bad off as some
