" is really good becuase we can see exactly what they spend and where they spend it", she said. O'Neill White occasionally gives her ten-year-old daughter physical money, but opts for Revolut when it comes to her teenagers.
Siobhan O'Neill White from mams.ie said pocket money should be given to children as a reward for completing chores, but she "wouldn't do it every week".
Lee praised the logic, saying "it's creating a boundary and giving the kids a little bit of responsibility". "I make it clear that there are absolutely no top-ups whatsoever so that they have to budget." I give them €15 but they have to use this for any discretionary expenses." "The exception is the teenagers under sixteen, before they can get a job. When they turn nine, it increases to €4.50." So if you're eight years of age you get €4. Listener Geraldine explained the logic behind her system: "For pocket money I give my children half their age. "Growing up myself when I was growing up it was a pound every Sunday and I still remember the excitement of that." How much? "The going rate can vary from what's affordable and how many kids you have and what age they are." "It is going to be different for everybody", she said. Speaking to Lunchtime Live, parenting expert Aoife Lee of parentsupport.ie said systems and amounts vary greatly from family to family, but many children are expected to 'earn their keep'. It would have been nice for a couple of mega stars like Newman and Marvin to have gotten a better film to do though.Andrea Gilligan spoke to parenting experts and the general public to find out what they think. It almost, but not quite descends into the kind of con games that Crosby used to employ on Hope. My favorite part of the film is Marvin convincing Paul Newman to ride a bucking horse to gain some respect from prospective Mexican customers.
But you watch Pocket Money and you know these two guys will never hit the big time. Still Paul Newman who seems to personify a definition of insanity in that he keeps doing the same thing and expecting different results and his hustling pal Lee Marvin amble along in this film with such a degree of charm you can't help but like them. It works to a degree, but unlike the other film, the supporting characters aren't as interesting. It just follows the driftings of its two leads to carry the film along. If anyone has read my review of Robert Mitchum and Deborah Kerr's The Sundowners I said that the film has really no plot, but relies successfully on the charm of the characters to carry it along.
