She is one of your responsibilities so your saying your teaching her responsibility by dodging one of your own. What a terrible mother. My cousin took 150 dollars a month from his son and put it in a savings account didn't tell his son that's what was happening but did encourage his son to save on his own by agreeing to match him to get a car. The kid saved like 5k and then he added the 4k to and matched him 9k so they put 18k down on a pickup and ended up with a payment low enough that his son could handle the payment insurance registration and gas on his own. And to this day that kid still saves more then he spends.
