We're bringing 12YO nephew with us and our two DS's (8 & 4.5). All three were told they had to save their own spending money. My DS's have saved like crazy and have a ton of money. DN has chosen to spend all his money of video games.
We really want him to have a great time and want him to feel he is being treated equally to our own two boys. We're already paying for his entire trip and we know him mom won't even give him spending money.
I know I'll cave and give him some money, but how much? What's reasonable for a 12YO, especially one that has made his own decisions to not save? Am I asking too much of a 12YO? I have no idea what expectations I should have, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
