I never managed to get far in this thread.

i got stuck at the concept of £100 pocket money

In fairness, that £100 was well earned initially.

In return, he cleaned the house top to bottom every week, on one of his two days off from a full time college course, so was more wages than pocket money.

For the last 18 months, he's had a full time job, although not in the trade he studied in, so I called it pocket money as he was being paid it, while no longer in the servitude of his cruel parents.

In fairness, he did a better job than our current cleaner.

I charged my kids board when they started work. Since then I've probably given them more money back in helping them when they brought their own house. But isn't that just what parents do?

Many of the words you use are just made up though.

@Lambchop please note this wasn't a dig - just a crap joke based on my lack of vocabulary - I take every opportunity to make crap jokes and I hadn't read any of the thread beforehand. When I read it back, with context of the previous posts, it looks like a dig - it wasn't.
