Do you give your kids an allowance?  

yes. we give them every week. but i have never given them such an allowance, he does his owen homework why should i pay them? i think you should have a talk with him. and tell him doing house work is a man's resposiblity. anyone in this world should do so.

Yeah i give just enough to buy what he wants. But not too much because kids they ar not so aware on the food they are taking .. they just buy outside we dont know if they are healthy or they just buy candies in school that we cannot monitor all the time.

give her a set amount of allowance but tell her she has to do a certain amount of jobs and behave. If she can't do this then the obvious solution is no allowance. My son is 2 1/2 and since birth I've given him $2 pocket money a week. He helps tidy his room and put things away. They are never to young to start learning how to help out.

I think what you are doing is teaching her responsibility even if she is not getting money for it. It should be something they eventually do as they grow older. (well thats what happened in our household).

However, if she is wanting an allowance, then I would increase her duties since she already does what you mentioned without an allowance. Draw up a chart and outline what she does already and then give her monies for the extra things she does. Make it a fun thing to do so she enjoys cleaning up and not having it as a chore that she may well complain about.

Maybe have her dry all the easy things at dishwashing time, dust the house, wipe down the dining table, straighten up the lounge area or things like that.
