I'd like to start a new feature where we can ask any question and get people's opinions. Goes without saying that we must avoid controversial subjects - politics, etc.

I'll start with this one. Allowances for kids?? Yes or no? Reasons??

We never had them when were kids. I am still undecided about doing it with my kids. I can see the plus of having them learn to earn and save. At the same time, the idea of paying them to do chores or whatever, is not something I'm crazy about. I think they need to do them without any promised reward. I have no problem with one-shot rewards for doing well in school, etc., and I have done that.

Whaddya say??
