So I give my kids allowance for completed chores. I have an allowance sponsor so it doesn’t come out of my running a household budget. Mostly. But the allowance sponsor and i agree on the importance of pocket money for kids. It’s not much. Sincerely. It’s not a lot per chore. But if they give me a lot of needed help it adds up.
Anyway. This is the first mother’s day where my kids have had allowance. And via an app they get their allowance on debit cards like real bank accounts. And they both have permission to make online purchases, after having age appropriate talks on things like scams and not buying things in tiktok ads and such.
Anyway. They had no adult help with picking out and procuring my Mother’s Day presents. And I’m feeling very, very emotional about how good they did.
They’ve been talking in hushed voices for months saving up amd going halvsies and who wpuld order what. So I knew there was plotting. I just.
The yellow things are honey spoons and i eat them like lollipops because I’m a wild bear in a human costume. My favorite candy ever.
