Do you allow your kids to touch your purse/wallet?

When I was a kid, my mom never allowed me to touch her purse. It was only after I became a teenager that, she would allow me to take out money, after I took her permission and told her the exact amount that I wanted. Rules are different in different households and some people don't mind if their kids touch their purse. Do you allow your kids to touch your purse/wallet? picture from google images.

I give my daughter a monthly allowance so she doesnt have to dig in to my wallet which she used to do everyday.

If I have a child, then the wallet should be kept in a safe place and no one should touch my wallet.

@Sheali Maybe I will not put money in my wallet, you know my nephew is very wasteful in using money.

No, I do not allow my children to touch my wallet. If i need it I ask them to bring it to me and give what I need to give them. I don't believe they should handle money that is not their own.

My kids are all grown, but they never needed to touch my wallet or purse. They were given an allowance or asked my husband or me if they needed money, and we would give it to them ourselves.

@simplfred Ok.. that is so cute.. does your 7 year old love your new born or is he a little jealous? Some kids behave like that

I don't mind if they touch my purse. My instruction to them, never take any money without permission. In case they take money for any urgent need, when I am not around, do inform me.

Hmm OK Yaa.. even I had to tell my mom the reason and the exact amount.. things should be that way so that kids learn to value money and don't waste it

@Sheali If I had kids, I would most likely just keep my purse out of sight. I never looked through my parent's things when I was a kid and if I accidentally did ( like looking for something or parent asked me to look ) I wouldn't ever take anything.

When I was not earning, and that was nearly fifty years ago, I kept my expenses to the barest minimum. I used to tell my mother whenever I took money - siva

I should have two different wallets, one would be free for all to touch , feel and smell but the other one will have passcode. only the look on my face will tell the kids that that very property is a no no for everyone except me lol.
