If your parents can afford a "Live in Babysitter", then they can
give you an allowance if they believe that you need one.
I do not know how old you are; If under 12 - forget about
allowances and ask for your needs. If over 12: You need to
know the allowance is for you to learn to use money wisely.
The purchase of ANYTHING is not the reason for allowances.
I assume that there is a cook that takes care of the meals.
So who does the shopping, who make out the shopping list?
When the shopping is done, does someone make sure the
economical sizes are purchased? (MY wife likes to buy
dish detergent in the small bottles. The large bottles are
more economical - I buy one small bottle and 2 large bottles.
When the small bottle runs out I refill it from the large bottle.)
My point is someone has to keep track of saving pennies,
and if those pennies become your allowance - then your
parents have not given up anything.
Anything you can do to help your parents provide income to
pay the household bills is worthy of an allowance. If your
parents are in business, and the calls come to the house:
DO YOU MAKE IT A POINT TO BE POLITE AND TAKE
GOOD NOTES TO PASS MESSAGES? Do you make it
a point to get the messages to your parents as soon as possible?
(These are things that are worthy of an allowance.) |

mow the lawn, do dishes, get rid of live-in babysitters because I never had them.
Hell, if I had them then I wouldn't do jack sh*t and I'd be great without an allowance. |

you could probably do yard work if you have a yard or if you a pool you can skim it everyday |

You really need to ask your parents this question in order to figure out what they expect of you. |

just b/c you have live-in babysitters doesn't mean that you can't do some of that yourself. try taking out the trash and setting the table. |

I think this isn't fair of them, obviously they can't think of anything, and so they're putting it on you.
Ok, so you can't clean or babysit, except maybe on weekends? What about feeding and cleaning up after or walking pets? Maybe an errand service for your mom or dad. Do they have any take home work you could help with? Could you prepare a simple meal once or twice a week? Anything to do with laundry? |

Allowence is overated, just ask for odd jobs like cleaning the garage for 20 bucks, or the basement for 25. Then just dirty it up constantly so you can do it again. You can have a routine to make it easier since you know what to do because you made the mess. Nice eh?> |
