Am I being unfair to my daughter? - 2

My daughter is turning 15 and I wrote a new pocket mone plan for her:
she gets 108 us dollors each month.
she has to pay for her clothes, shoes, junk food, phone bills, perfume and lotion and other stuff like puzzle, magic 8 ball, etc.

Thought, My plan is to give her 61 dollors each year to help her with perfumes, she loves perfume. And if she wants to buy more than 61 dollors perfume on a year she pays for it.

Also I'm going to buy her 3 pairs of shoes each year with my money, cause she loves shoes. And again if she wants more She must pay for it.

as for the phone bills, only her texts and calls is what she is gonna pay for. I'm going to pay for her iphone bills.

and I showed her this plan and she said that its good but she is gonna look for a job. I told her that she is only allowed to get a summer job and she has to focus on school the rest of the year. Its a rule in my house, until she is 18. I don't want my 15 year old working like she has money problmes.

anyway, my quastion is do you think I'm being unfair to her? Please pay attention to the fact that our family( me my husband and my daughter ) have 1545 usd income.

I think this is very good idea. But as long as you supply her with a home and food. Also if he needs more money and wants a job but you do not approve give her little jobs like mopping, vacuuming, dusting, things around the house and pay her small amounts. So let's say she mops give her $4 and then she cleans the bathrooms give her $3 each bathroom. Whatever you think is reasonable. In the summer also give her some jobs like this. Maybe your garage needs to painted give her $10 or the windows need to be cleaned and so on. Give her jobs that would make your life easier so you can go to work if you do or get more done at home. Also search for summer jobs together and make sure it's something she WANTS to do so she doesn't feel like this is a punishment. Also if she really likes perfume then buy her a bunch and hide it away and when you see she's doing really well let her pick one but keep them well hidden.

When I was a kid my parents made me work for everything. My clothes my shoes. Any toys. I got 2 presents for Christmas each year. We only celebrated my b-day every 2 years. So if any thing you are spoiling her

I think you ARE the 15 year old girl, wishing your family would do this for you. You are old enough to get your first job, and it would be great if you could learn to take responsibility for your own expenses.

As a 14 year old girl, I think that is insanely excessive. In my opinion, you shouldn't give her the money towards perfumes, and only buy her shoes if she genuinely needs them, ie if her old ones are outgrown or damaged. If she chooses to spend some of her monthly allowance on unnecessary stuff like perfume that's her choice but to be honest I think you should give her what she needs for bus fares etc and only a small amount for non-essential things.

  • Unfair! Sibling gets everything So, my brother (younger than me) sleeps til 12 o clock. Is in the sofa all day, and doesn't like the food my mum cooks. I wake up soon, even in holidays, i do loads of sports and get good grades. I really needed a macbook for my school year. He got an Iphone 4S and a Macbook PRO I got an Itouch and i have a Dell computer. There's probably an explanation to that, so does someone (maybe a parent of sumthing) that can tell me WHY?
  • My life is so unfair and why is god not helping me? Everybody else gets to have pretty iphones 6s while i have no phone at all because my mom wants to take it away just because i forgot to lean up or i made a little mistake! God never helps me with my problems its like he doesn't exist!
