It’s pretty important to manage favoritism in any family, but even more so when it’s a mixed family. So when it comes to rules, gifts, privileges and especially allowances, parents really do need to think through the consequences.

A woman turned to the internet for advice when she realized her daughter’s spending might be causing some family drama. She had increased her allowance by a significant amount as a reward for good grades, but this was causing some jealousy with her stepsister. The internet was divided on the decision to try and limit the daughter’s use of her own money.
