I give my granddaughter a small amount of pocket money each week. I began when she was 7, so her cousin will get his from October.
They had been discussing pocket money at school. The teacher asked who got pocket money, children put up their hands. Then he asked what they got it for. GD told me she then put her hand down.
I told her she didn't have to put her hand down, because she could have said she gets it for being a fabulous granddaughter . She laughed at that, but said she wanted to do something to earn the money.
Although I pointed out that she often helped me by amusing her little brother, but she wanted to do more.
I don't really like children having chores to do, but I appreciate her wanting to do it.
DD said GD told her she didn't think it was fair that she took the money for nothing.
So, any suggestions for jobs for her? She's 9.
All I can think of is leaving our clean socks for her to pair up each week.
