Money

Last spring we started giving our kids an allowance for doing certain chores. Then they have 3 banks. One for spending money, one for saving and one for giving. Most of the money goes into spending but about 10% goes into each saving and giving.

Hunter has not ever said anything about it. Brooke on the other hand has thrown a fit since day 1 about putting money in giving and saving. She wants it all to spend.

Over the summer we got out of practice of doing chores and getting an allowance. So I started it again this past week. Sunday is pay day and it worked out well because Brooke came home from church w/ a small bank to collect money in and bring back to church.

Brooke however on the way home said that she was putting spending money in the bank. I ignored her for the time being.

Later in the afternoon I added up the kids chores and told them it was time to get their allowance. As we were walking upstairs (so that I can supervise them putting the money in the correct places) Brooke went in to a full on fit. I couldn't understand what she was saying. Then all of a sudden she yelled "I don't want to give any money to God!"

HHmmm... I'm am out of words. Not sure how to follow that up. :)
