Writing Prompt #4

Sorry I am late again. Here's this weeks prompt;

Many parents give children a weekly or monthly allowance regardless of their behavior because they believe an allowance teaches children to be financially responsible. Other parents only give children allowance as a reward for completing chores or when they have behaved properly. Explain what you think parents should do and why.


In my opinion, parents give their children too much. If a child is rude and irresponsible he/she should not be given a reward. That just tells them that they can do whatever they want. Yes, you are trying to teach them how to be responsible with money; but do you think that if they can't keep their behavior in track they will act responsibly with their money?

Also, parents go overboard on how much they give for allowance. Children do not need a ton of money every week/month. They don't need to buy a car. Just enough money to buy a little something extra. If they act responsibly it will add up in plenty of time.

In the future, when I have a family of my own, I plan on giving my children a reasonable weekly allowance. If they do extra chores they will receive more. I don't want to spoil my kids or make them think they can do whatever they want. I want them to be responsible.

Time for Some Changes! Don't Ya Think?

Alright. Time for a few changes!

First I'm going to start posting the writing prompts on Saturday instead of Tuesday. That will work better for me.

I'm going to try and keep doing the Random 5. I always seem to forget about it until Sunday!

I am also going to try and post just a regular post once a week too. I'm sure you're tired of Random 5 and ONE writing prompt a week. How boring, right!? So I'll try to post something interesting every week.

So Stay Tuned!!!

Oh Dear!

Oh Dear! Oh Dear! Oh Dear! I haven't posted in FOREVER! So sorry!

I have something to tell you though. I'm going to try and make homemade powder. I've wanted to make homemade makeup for a long time but now I'm really going to do it. I will tell you what I think and the recipe if it works.

Also, we have a business! By we I mean me, Mom, Morgan, and Taylor. It's called Jamberry. Jamberries are nail wraps that are way better than nail polish. Nail polish stinks. Jamberry really works. They are heat activated and they ROCK! WE are having an online party if you want to check it out. You can learn about what Jamberry really is, play games, etc.. LETS PARTY!
