The Open buttons send the prompt text as currently shown below to that site only when you click. Fill in the placeholders first.

Audit our allowance system. How much each child receives, what it is linked to (chores, age, nothing), rules on spending and saving, and what happens when chores are missed: [ALLOWANCE_SYSTEM]. Ages: [AGES]. What is working and what is not: [CURRENT_ISSUES].

Check clarity of expectations, consistency, fairness across ages (compare amounts per year of age with the arithmetic), whether the system teaches the skills we want (saving, choice), and whether it creates conflict. Make a table with Child, Amount, Tasks, Problem, and Change. Propose options such as separating basic chores from paid extras, a saving jar rule, and a monthly review conversation. Include a family discussion guide.

This is organisational advice about a family system, not parenting or financial advice.

Add a worked comparison: a 9-year-old receives 6 a week (0.67 per year of age) and a 13-year-old receives 8 a week (0.62 per year); chores are linked to payment for one child but not the other. Suggest options and an agreement template with three columns: basic contributions, paid extras, saving and spending rules.
