5. I think this is a good idea.

But I was raised with my Mom giving a day a month just to one of us kids. We each got a day each month, Like mine would be the 5th. and sis 2 would be 10th. and so on). There were four of us, including my brother. We would go to movies or out to eat.

She wanted my father to do stuff with us girls more, but he just waved off the idea.

It was one of the reasons I think we had a better relationship with her than him. My brother even felt comfortable asking her about girls. Yeah there were "things" that dad had to be asked, but with other things he was totally at ease asking Mom.

So to me this is a good thing.
