If you want kids to learn the value of money then yes of course they need to work for it.

The only exception would be if their "allowance" technically was also expected to be used by them to buy their milk at the school lunch program, or something like that. But usually those types of expenses are not considered "allowances".

Kids should work for their allowance because it allows them to really value hard work, and that not everything in life can be given by mommy and daddy. My mom and dad also disciplined me by grounding and spanking,and i turned out okay. They made me work when I wanted something, and they weren't all libtard about it. They made me realize alot of things about life, and i think that kids have grown dependant on mom and dad, and when they go into the real world, they are not ready for what it has in store for them.

I thought it was a good idea until I saw FromWithin post that he thought it was a good idea, so I am now against it because he is wrong about everything.

Allowance is supposed to teach you the value of money, not the value of working. Kids learn to work hard by seeing their parents working hard, not by doing chores.

Kids should work for their food and for a place to sleep. They do not deserve any allowance. Food and clothing and a roof over their head is more than they deserve. They should work for it.
