"The original poster (OP) took to the subreddit /parenting to ask fellow parents about a possible hygiene budget/allowance for their teen... specifically, for the more expensive, maybe not-so-necessary items like fun skincare, hair accessories, and makeup."
"OP pointed out that their home will always have 'basic body wash, shampoo, and conditioner in the shower as well' so her kid never has to go without the necessities."
"'The TikTok videos are sponsored by the companies selling these products. A budget is a good idea, but $100/month on makeup is crazy,' one commenter wrote."
Parents often face increasing hygiene costs as their children grow, transitioning from basic items to more expensive products. One parent considers a $100 monthly allowance for their teen's hygiene, which includes both essentials and luxury items like makeup and skincare. While some parents support the idea of a hygiene budget, many believe that $100 is excessive. The discussion centers on balancing necessary hygiene products with the desire for trendy items, and whether such an allowance can teach budgeting skills.
