Teenagers: Pocket Money If They Have A Job?

[Rouge]

Geeze thats a bit rough, I hope you guys put your foot down about that one.

I am lucky to be surrounded by awesome women who parent teens well, so fingers crossed when its my turn it won't be such a bumpy ride.

You'll be fine Rouge because you're a good listener. I think that's the main thing - listen to their concerns and take them into account. If you don't agree, tell them why but always give them a reason rather than "no, just because I said no." I've read a few things by Michael Carr-Gregg and I think he's pretty good.
