# Just realise my daughter got a lot of extra money
# After knowing the source of her extra money i’m not sure i should be happy or worried..
My daughter is in Primary 2 this year. I normally give her RM50 as her pocket money per week ( expenses on the meals in the cafeteria + stationeries). Basically, it’s sufficient for her daily use. I brought my daughter to Gurney Par @gon m@lls ( If you are local then you will know the price for things selling here is relatively higher).
My daughter went into a bookstore. At first, we thought of just doing a window shopping but my daughter eyed on a bag and wanted to buy it! She said most of her schoolmate owned this kind of bag! When i looked at the price i was in shock as the bag costs RM899!?? Then…
To be honest, i was shocked by the price ( I think the staff in the bookstore noticed my expression too). I suggested my daughter to check out in the other store and trying to convince her to get the stationeries in Mr. DIY!
However, before i ended my conversation, she told me: Mummy, i have money.”
Before i figured out what was happening she took out some cash from her bag and it’s amounting RM1550!!!
#My daughter is that kind of character that will spend lavishly. ( Exactly like her dad! But i’m glad my husband know how to make money)
The million dollar question is ” I only gave her RM50 per week, she can easily spend all for the meals, how can she have RM1000 ++ extra money!???”
I didn’t comment anything during that time. But i contacted my husband to check whether he was the one gave our daughter the extra money. My husband said he never did that.
After reached home only i start questioning my daughter for the source of her extra money. She was excited and told me how she make money in school. I was stumped after the truth revealed, not sure whether to be happy or worried for my daughter..
#During recess time, my daughter was gambling as a banker on Big & small bets
My 8-year-old is currently studying in an international school. Most of her schoolmates parents are high-income group ( My daughter said their pocket money is RM100 per day). No wonder, when i picked her from school some schoolmates holding a Starbucks drinks. ( A lot of Grabfood and Foodpanda outside their school..) When i told my husband about our daughter gambling habits, he merely laughed and let it go.
I want to take this opportunity to seek for some advice, if you were me what would you do?
Let’s check out the netizen’s comments:
▼ Talented! Please raise her right.. i’m sure she has a bright future..
▼ Your daughter with bright future.
▼ If you are financial-able, please raise her right..
▼ However, some netizen wishing her all the best!
