Consider ThisMom says, "Jake, I'm sorry you weren't happy with your baseball cards. But that's what you chose to spend your allowance on. Maybe next week you might buy only a couple of packs of cards; then you would have enough money left to do something else. Dad and I are planning to rent a movie tomorrow night. You're welcome to join us in watching it if you'd like." |
Prepared by Donna K. Donald, family life field specialist, and Vicki W. Sickels, former family support program associate, and edited by Laura Sternweis, communication specialist, Iowa State University Extension
