No disrespect to either of you, but its very unlikely he'll have that much contact hours.timetabled for approximately 30 hours of lectures, labs, and tutorials a week, plus study
Depends what he’s doing.No disrespect to either of you, but it’s very unlikely he'll have that much contact hours.
With 30 hours a week, it would certainly be tough to also commit to a part-time job.Son, soon to start college. He will be living at home. Not sure of timetables yet, but from my research, he should expect to be timetabled for approximately 30 hours of lectures, labs, and tutorials a week, plus study. Given that the course should be the priority, am not sure of the feasibility of part-time work. Trying to gauge how much of a weekly allowance to give- and would appreciate recommendations and advice from others.
Certainly, the post of the month. Truthful and direct and it will make a more appreciative student.No disrespect to either of you, but its very unlikely he'll have that much contact hours.
Let him get a part time job for now; he's getting food & board.
And money wise, don't give him a weekly "allowance", he's not a kid.
if you can, give him a lump sum & let him figure out a budget.
He'll mess up, but that's all part of learning.
What was that supposed to cover? Was that basically for social life?In similar circumstances, I gave €30 a week
Commuting, phone, incidentals, social life, clothes etc,. It really doesnt go far these days.What was that supposed to cover? Was that basically for social life?
I think €30 is quite modest if anything. I know it’s a lot to come up with every week but it really doesn’t stretch too far for an adult’s lifestyle, however frugal.BTW, I answered the question to help the OP. If anyone wants to berate me for spoiling my lazy adult child, dont bother. There were circumstances where a job was simply not possible for personal reasons at that time, Thankfully, they manged to find a job that suited and were delighted to be able to earn money. When they wer not able to, I was happy to give them enough to be able to get by
That’s everything in a nutshell.If you can afford to make it enjoyable for them i wouldnt go out of your way to make it difficult, if you cant then thats a different story and you need an agreement.
