I need to know....

We never charged our 3 kids anything as long as they could show they were not being wasteful with their money we were happy to keep it at that.

They all pulled their weight at home by doing daily chores, cooking meals, lad kept the garden neat and tidy

All three have well paid jobs whilst living at home, which they all still have now, the lad was the last to move out 3 months ago.

They all now have and own their own vehicles outright and have their own properties which they have mortgages on

was just the way we wanted to go, they saved hard and have what they want and both the girls still manage to travel O/S at least once a year on a holiday,

Cheers fella’s, there’s a lot of helpful hints there, I was thinking of putting a fair proportion away to give back to him as a surprise when he goes to buy a car in the future.

Lad is 17, been working solidly for almost 3 months getting around a grand a week, it’s only natural to waste some on shoes, clothes etc for the first few pays but then there needs to be a time to focus on saving, he has got more in the bank than I expected but it shits me to tears the Uber eats and pointless Uber trips him and his gf take.

He’ll have his P’s in the next week or two, I’ll see how he goes from there, might just wait til he’s 18 before rolling out the B word, him and his gf stay at least 5 nights a week and I cook pretty much every night, I have all my kids over for a Sunday roast though and I do like to cook, if they weren’t there I’d not eat at night.

I feel like thats the kind of parent i am, i believe there is some life lessons you cant learn until you experience it for yourself and one of them is wasting money.....and eg missing out on something you want to do because you blew your money.

I am a believer of letting my kids make a few 'non-life threatening' 'career destroying' mistakes along the journey but still being there to support them through that.

I've always found it a delicate balance, growing up in Elizabeth in housing trust with at times neither parent working (for one reason or another good and bad) i had to earn every penny and cent i got. Now that I'm in what i consider a good position, my bank account isn't huge but i live well within my means and consider myself rich in love, community and lifestyle the temptation has been to 'give' everything to my kids, so they don't have to go through the stress.

A friends family, three girls ( now two, eldest one just brought her own unit ) had theirs take turns on doing dinner 1 night per week for the family.

They can shop and cook, or buy in, up to them, but they each had dinner duties one night a week including the clean up.

We do similar, don't charge them board but ask them ( 2 eldest girls) to get groceries we need during the week on occasion and pay for tea for themselves and their brother if we're out or away.

Yeah or rice. The mornay is really just the sauce.

[Armchair expert]

Tuna Mornay must be served with boiled potatoes

no pasta
no pineapple (its a thing)
cheese and toasted breadcrumbs on top

I make my mum make it for me everytime I go there

Nope, but it must be made with corn, not peas.

I got bad food poisoning from it when I was a teenager
Total ban in our house
Just the smell make me gag
I got home from an interstate trip and could smell that Mrs Jimmy had cooked it 2 days previously

I was brought up with Tuna Mornay without pasta, but did have corn in it
I had it served with pasta and was and still am very confused by that.

The right way.

With pasta and a crunchy topping, the best being corn flakes and grated Kraft cheese in the blue box wrapped in alfoil. White pepper.

Breadcrumb to make a crunchy topping I can handle.

But what you've described is something I'd struggle with[emoji1787]
