At first glance, it sounds tight-fisted, but I think that it's quite sensible really. Don't just hand it to them on a plate.

Makes perfect sense, they're 8 and 5 years old - what could they need more for?

I actually think it's nice to see someone who is so wealthy trying to teach their kids the value of money and what things are worth

Giving an eight year old just £2 week - tight fisted IMO.

My parents gave me none!!!

They said if you want money you (as title) you have to earn it!!!

So I did, went out and got 3 paper rounds.

but they are to young to go out and earn their own money, I do make them do stuff round the house, but that does not really work, and I do not approve of child labour
