My Nan used to give me £5 a day in the six weeks holidays when i was say 11/12/13 so I could go to the community centre and get myself grub. Probably equivalent to £15 these days.
Fast forward 30 years and my old man gives my kids £20 a week pocket money each. It’s just what grandparents do up here if they can. They rather see they Kids/grandkids looked after.
My eldest daughter, 16, got a part time job in a pub getting £70-100 a week, but yet I still give her £100 a month pocket money. She’s also getting £80-£100 a month off my old man. I wouldn’t dream of stopping her money or taking lodge off her when she’s 16.
