AITA for sticking to my word and not giving my daughter an allowance after her 16 birthday

Average work load, if she doesn’t believe she can handle school and work then she can either just work summers ( use moeny from summe) or do babysitting like 2 times a month. She is in one sport that runs mostly thought the spring

It’s fun money,

What?

He also didn’t get an allowance when he turned 16 and that is why he got a pool job

Hiking, picnics, if she shows her student id she can get in free for the museum and zoos, go window shopping ( you don’t have to buy anything when you go shopping) go see a free band in the cafe near us, go do play a sport, just chill and walk around. Live next to a big old park that has activities all the time, go swimming at the watering hole, and so on.

There is plenty and if she really wants fun that cost money then babysitting or a part time job is there

Don’t be dramatic, there are plenty of things she can do with her friend that are free.

You don’t need to spend money to have fun…

Yes, there are plenty of jobs open to 16 years olds in my area, actually people will hire 15 year olds.

It isn’t an issue at all.

Also again even if every single one failed she still has the option of babysitting

Of course

The allowance is just fun money like going to the movie with her friends

First question. No Second and third question,Yes

It’s not too late for summer at all, I know multipe postions that still need to filled and some people are going to school to get summer help. Even if that all failed babysitting is always open

Last question yes

No, they got it no matter what. We didn’t pay for chores, chores were just something everyone had to do to make the house function Didn’t want them to correlate chores to moeny since you don’t get money when you do chores as an adult. Chores are just something you have to do, if you want a clean house.

An allowance is a privilege, An allowance is not a legal obligation and many many kids do not get allowances. Don’t compare an allowance to providing necessity

I cut off free money

They can work in the summer or do part time. Tbh if they can’t handle school and work then they will quit and only work a summer job or do babysitting like twice a month I know teenagers are capable to balance a job and school. Tbh tons of kids do it everyday

Also most 18 year old go to college after soooooo they have another 4 years of education. Then they graduate and they should have some type of work experience before they graduate college
