What kind of obsessive nonsense is this? Why would anyone track what their child spent THEIR birthday/Christmas/Hanukkah money from Grandma, Aunt Tammy, and Uncle Steve on? That is just as insane as parents who track every step of their child’s movement on their phones.

Financial responsibility is very important, but kids have to enjoy their childhood and have a little freedom and privacy too. Total helicopter parenting.

What kind of nonsense is this?

My two kids, who are 11 and 9, have saved up over 10k each from birthdays, Christmas, good grades, etc. If it were up to them, they would have blown it all up on robux, v bucks, toys, etc. by now if it wasn't monitored. They're too young to understand the full value of money. Why wouldn't any sane parent want to do that? It's irresponsible to not do so until they understand what a dollar is worth.
