Well, he's just trying to help you, while you're being a bitch :)

We're the same age. You must have had more than that at the end of the week.
Unless you had a bad commute,

There was an Oriental store in Monroe that would sell us beer, cigs, alcohol, etc when we wanted it. A 12 pack of the Beast and 2 pack of cigs every few days would take a chunk out of my allowance. I also always had a skank running with me that had to be fed.

Well, there was a life lesson in there somewhere. 
No offense, I know you won in the end.

Same for me and for my kids.
No pcoket money from me though. Both boys got a job at 16. Next two kids will as well.

Set up something with his grades. A's and B's he gets paid, C's no pay, and none of the aforementioned, he pays you.
Just make sure he has enough $$ that he can afford quality condoms.

How are you supposed to survive on that? That's barely one decent meal.

And miss out on some of the best years of his life? His goals should be straight A's, high school sports, and having fun on the weekends.
No sense in getting involved with the real world so soon.

Some of you people need to come back down to reality. The cost of putting gas in a vehicle these days can easily be $75 a week, depending on what the kid drives. If the kid plays sports, it is much more economical to have the kid drive themselves to and from their functions than it is taking off of work and relying on the parent at all times. This cost is figured into an allowance.
