Kids Paying "keep"
85 Answers
Daughter is 16. She's a good kid and i'm very proud of her.
She's at college for 2 years studying travel and tourism. She also has several part time jobs including waitressing in he local, working in New Look and some cleaning for a friend. She has no travel expenses as she walks to college.
She does live at home but spends most nights at her boyfriends.
Presently, she doesn't pay us a penny in "keep". But i think she should contribute to the household...and my wife doesn't.
I earnt £40 a week as a 16 year old and paid my folks £10 a week.
My daughter spends her money on clothes, haircuts, new fingernails etc etc...she doesn't save a penny. I cook her dinners and buy all food, toiletries etc, she also has sky multiroom in her room and she does sod all around the house.
My parents spoil her rotten, they're saving up for her driving lessons, first car, insurance etc and have around £5k for that so there's no incentive for her to save.
I think she should be contributing around 15% of her wages per month.
