Bad Moms Club | "With money, you've got to punish them to learn!"

Loading player...
Hey Bad Moms Club,

I have three kids all in their teens and they’re all very different to each other! My 16-year-old son is terrible with money and with looking after things in general. His pocket money is wasted on rubbish as soon as he gets it and then he manipulates his younger sister to give him some of hers. I don’t want to stop the pocket money, but he needs to learn that money is valuable and he must plan for tomorrow. I know he’s still young, but how do I teach him the value of money without punishing him?

How do you do it, Bad Moms Club?
