Toni Braxton charges kids rent

You are definitely on the right track with this.  Young kids seldom have an opportunity to learn the value of life and living at the hands of their parents and it's a good thing.  Even I say "the younger the better".  We started giving our daughter an allowance once a month, and when we first started, she had to pay for all her friend-outtings, etc., but now she has to incorporate paying her own cell phone bill out of her allowance.  It's helping her to learn responsibility and accountability.  God bless you!

Amazing! as I continue to read through these posts it looks like there's a gauntlet waiting for TB to pass so she can get scolded. Everyone is entitled to their opinion but I read posts about her having filed for bankruptcy as though that is a reason she is not qualified to teach her kids the value of a dollar.Some of the most successful people in our history have lost millions and did also filed banruptcy.

People who are taking pot shots at her - back off and stop hating. She have filed for bankruptcy but she is smart enough to bounce back (she's working on it). Why not mention the positive as well? It appears she is teaching her kids so they don't have to experience what she did. We have such unforgiving people in this nation and some have already found themselves here in this post. Follow your heart TB, you're doing a great job!

It’s one thing to have kids earn an allowance and learn how to manage their money. But it’s another to make them  earn an allowance to keep a roof over their heads. What happens if they don't earn that money that week - if they're sick or hit with a lot of homework - are they out in the street? Instilling in them unconditional love is also important.  Maybe if Ms. Braxton had been a less insecure person perhaps she wouldn’t have spent so much money and gone bankrupt on things she obviously did need (like those extensions in this picture?).
