Assuming I’m reading your post correctly and you’re treating all the kids fairly, some of the people in here have come up with their own assumptions.
Allowance is a luxury, not a requirement and if he wants to go that route then tell him he can start paying for the the “luxuries” like his ps5 subscription.

If he’s 15 give him the $80 you get in child support and if he wants more money let him get a job outside the house.

What you do for one, you do for the other, rather by blood or paper, or you shouldn’t have taken him. He already knows he is treated differently. I hope this isn’t shown for his birthday or Christmas. Is he the only one that plays on the gaming subscription?

I was 8th in the family. Never got allowance once. Not that I needed it because my parents would get me things now and then that I wanted and that was enough for me.
Between a rock and a hard place. He is YOUR child after all this time. Wth do you call yourself his legal guardian??? Sometimes bio kids need the allowance message, too. Do your chores, it’s a bonus. Try loving him?
Show him a cost of living break down as divided between 6 ppl. When my Dad had a broken back I gave every bit of money I earned to help out-I was about 13-14yo.
PS: Has the biological father heard of the cost of living??? Does he participate in his son’s life? He needs to up his suport. Man up!

No allowance here…and our 15 yr old has a pt job…didn’t ask her or make her her it she did on her own at local icecream place
Why even raise a child if your going to him treat different? Shame on you! And your teaching your biological children that this bias treatment is okay. I sure hope “your burden” escapes from your miserable home the moment he can. He deserves better than this garbage.

Make him do his own damn laundry, make him clean bathrooms, wipe baseboards, trash, recycling, walk the dog, clean a litter box, sweep, vacuum, dust, mop, dishes… and then hand him $15 and say “there. Now it’s not free labor.” Then when Christmas comes, put post-it’s conveniently on the light switches, on his food, etc: “merry Christmas,son!”
This is what is wrong with this world…a 15 year old is not entitled to allowance…he should be thankful he has a roof over his head…let him do some yardwork or something to earn it…ur both out of work and he’s expecting money…let him be mad…he will get over it…
Just acting out typical entitled reaction. Maybe take him down to a homeless kitchen

When I was growing up I hadta buy my own hygiene products and was only allowed to spend 20.00 a month and not a penny more. Wasn’t charged for gas or anything like that and I didn’t get an allowance and had a job at 14 and my paychecks was put into a savings account because when it was time to buy school clothes I bought my own with my own money. He can get a job at McDonald’s and that will teach him responsibilities and put his money into savings for him that way he has something to show for his hard work.

You see him differently and the proof of that is that you had to point out he isn’t biologically yours in a fb post to a group of strangers lol. Do you take money from your biological children for gas if you have to drive them somewhere? Do their subscriptions come out of their allowance? Also it is okay for kids to have feelings it’s our job as parents to help them feel and work through their big feelings. Sit down and explain to him that it’s temporary or level with him and explain that you just don’t have the funds right now. As long as it is fair across the board. And if he’s angry let him be angry it will pass.

I was ALLOWED to live at my parents house as an “allowance”. Kids do not need money. If you want to have a savings account for each of them and just add money as you can, that’s a much better option. If he doesn’t like it, he can get a job.

Generally, whatever one gets, they all get. Yes, CS is for the child that it’s received for. At 15, it’s you guys job to set them up and prepare them for adulthood. Do you pay for the other kids playstation subscription? If so, you can’t say the 15 yo CS should go towards that. Plus, that’s not a necessity and if he would like the subscription over the allowance, that is his choice. If you buy hygienic products for the others, it’s ok to pay out of pocket yourself for his too. Now if what you supply isn’t up to his standards, he can choose to buy it at his expense. It’s always an option to sit him down and say “here is the amount of money you have for the month, outside of the necessities that you should already take care of. Now how would you like to spend it? “ like I provide snacks like fruit and gummies and stuff. If these teenagers want candy or something else, they know that they have to budget their finances and decide if they wants $5 in candy or $5 for a basketball game on the weekend. Set them up for successful adulthood. I know it’s hard but it’s our job. Good luck momma! 
I think his issue is more about the other kids getting an allowance, but not him. I’d be pissed, too. You’ve raised him since he can remember, so he sees you and your husband as his parents. He feels like less than the other kids. Probably feels unwanted. I could go on and on, but yeah. Treat them all the same

Why is everyone assuming she is treating him differently ?? Where in this post does it say he has to pay for gas and hygiene products and the others don’t? I didn’t see that stated anywhere. 
my child will be doing the same thing and going to get a part time job to pay for those things. If you don’t show them how money works at a young age they will fail out on their own. It is very important. My mom didn’t with me and I ended up not knowing how to manage money crumbling and failing and had to move in with other people. Most people don’t want that for their kids. I don’t do allowances. Once they are old enough for a job they go get one. I pay for everything they want and need until then so they help me around the house.
I think all 4 children should gladly give up their allowances until you are employed again, doing chores at home is not child slavery, but all 4 children should have chores whether they get an allowance or no. You are still providing food and shelter for them

My children don’t get an allowance, I don’t get paid for doing my chores in my home. They do however get rewarded for completing chores like extra screen time. You can get creative to fit your child’s/children’s interest. They don’t need money, they need guidance. I’m not saying they never need money because it is important to teach them about responsible spending but they be making that money on their own. I worked on a horse ranch at 15 making $20 a day and it was plenty enough for me.
“Doesn’t belong to us” poor dude. Then who does he belong to. What a terrible feeling.

All 4 of your children should be given an allowance according to whatever chore system you have in place. You are this child’s guardian and probably very much his parents in his eyes- 18 mos to 15yr…you raised him from a baby. I am sure it’s not so much the money that is upsetting him but rather your display of respect for your bio children versus him. I’m sure he would appreciate a fair and even payscale/allowance as this would show he is equally valuable to you and your husband as your bio children.
No allowance for all 4 children is perfectly acceptable!!

Smile and let him know learning responsibilities is not illegal or slavery! Btw typical teen behavior!!! Best of luck 
I’m assuming you aren’t giving any of your children an allowance since he’s not getting one. If you are giving any of your children an allowance then I can see why he’d be upset. That would be showing favoritism. It doesn’t matter if he’s your biological child or not! If you decided to raise a child, then that child should become equal to them all. He needs to learn we don’t always get everything we want in life. Kids aren’t always going to like everything but they’ll learn as they get a little older. Especially when he goes out on his own and has to work for everything he gets. As long as you are being equally fair with all your children, including the adopted one, then I wouldn’t worry.

First NEVER EVER say he doesn’t belong to you because HE does. Second, he needs to get a job if he wants things that are extra. Kroger hires at 14. The child support money goes strictly to him in supporting him and him only. He throws a fit… it should just be placed in his bank account and his subscription and unnecessary things go out the door. He needs to learn RESPECT and if he WANTS things he MUST work for it. You have to manage and TEACH him HOW to manage his money. IT REALLY IS THAT SIMPLE

To be honest, your post made me uncomfortable. You write that he’s really not yours or your husband’s biologically right off the bat. This shows you definitely view him differently and treat him differently from the rest of your kids. If I can sense that as a stranger, then a child (who is definitely more sensitive) definitely senses it and reacts to it.
Stop charging him for gas money out of the measly $80 he gets from his dad.
Secondly, maybe he can get a small job part time somewhere to earn money.

Chores are a way for parents to teach kids how to become responsible adults. Within reason of course. My kid has chores that he doesn’t get paid for but isn’t expected to clean the entire house or spend and entire weekend doing them.
He gets paid for extras like putting little sis on the bus so we can head to work earlier and get off earlier or helping with a time consuming project.
The PlayStation subscription needs to go too. He will throw a fit. Does he want to talk to my 13 year old that is forced to clean his dad’s bedroom and bathroom for $0 in allowance? My son is at his dad’s every other week and that’s when their house gets cleaned by him. It’s horrible but not illegal.
He’s entitled to no part of that child support, ever. That money goes to feed, clothe, and house him… And $80 is chump change!!

“Then go get a job. End of story.” The second my kids turned 14 they had jobs. I took care of all necessities as parent, and they bought all the “cool” crap they wanted or we did portions. This age is when they should be and learning about money management by doing that, and before they have to learn by losing their first apartment or car. You WANT it. Go get it, work for it, and realize the real value of everything. They learn very quickly, trust me! My 20 year old is now excited to go on goodwill hunts with me where at 10, 11, 13 she’d cringe at all the stuff NOT from Justice, Ralph Lauren, or Zoomies.
This woman clearly stated that they used to get $15, but have been told to wait on that until the parents are again employed and can afford that. She did not say that he was being treated in a differential way. In fact, she has a right to use that $85 to add to her household budget that keeps him fed, sheltered and clothed. Yet, she uses it exclusively in his extra needs and wants. That is going a step beyond. The problem is not the woman who posted, but the fact that this boy’s father is obligated by law to pay so little. It is natural for a child in this situation to have issues and to even have some feelings about being treated unfairly. Life was not fair to him, as he is not being raised by the parents who gave birth to him. However fair his caregiving parents are, he is likely to express those issues. It is even a typical teen complaint for a child who is raised by loving biological parents …that things are unfair. And there is also typically a little distancing that happens between teen and parents as part of a healthy individuation process. Maybe giving this mom a break would be in order here. She has her hands full. Feel for the child, but have compassion for the mom, too. Let’s remember, too, that doing chores is a means of training for life - not a punishment. Parents are supposed to have children do some chores to teach them that they belong are part of the family team.

Teenagers like to think that the world owes them something. I would simply tell him what it costs each month to raise a child and what it costs to run a house. Sometimes a little perspective is what is needed if he realizes how little 80 a month is.
I would like to know how many ppl here actually receive child support and if so how do you use it? I bet it isn’t allowance for your kids

I’m sorry but for a 15 year old boy… hygiene products shouldn’t be that costly… and me personally I wouldn’t never charge any child for me to take them to hang out with friends… and the PlayStations subscription is like $60. For the year… so honestly I think he should have money saved up to roll each month from previous child support.
If it were me, he’d have an account where the $80 a month goes into it, and he should have a say in his money. Teach him to save it, without you deciding what he can spend it on. But that’s just my opinion.
I would be interested in what his chores are… kids have their normal, make the bed, put their dishes away, pick up behind them… but if he is doing extra, and it hasn’t been explained, the money isn’t there to give for the chores… then I’d be upset as well… I don’t go to work for free… if both parents are home without a job, I don’t understand why the kids would have the extra chores to be doing right now, anyway.

Y’all jumping to conclusions and cannot read. She is NOT treating him differently. she said “all my kids were getting $15/wk for allowance. I have 3 kids, y’all do the math”
She is just stating how many kids she has so you get an idea of how much she was paying per month for all 4. 
CS money is to provide, the way she’s using it is exactly how it should be used. Gas/his needs. She’s not charging him, she’s using the little bit of $ given to her to pay for things. Obviously to provide for a child is more than $80. Sounds like the 15yr old is just mad he’s not getting allowance and now wants to use the cs $ to pay him personally and not to go towards helping provide for him.
Stop jumping to conclusions.

15 years old is old enough to get a part-time job. Teenagers should not get an allowance from their parents. If he refuses to do his chores as his contribution to the family, then you should refuse to cook for him, do his laundry or anything else.

Oh my. He doesn’t understand that he is getting his things you pay for him already. Tell him he gets those things still out of that money and that is like having an allowance. Since you guys are struggling and out of work he needs to take a step back and see that you and your husband cannot give allowances right now and that he does not do chores for free because he lives there and it’s a privilege not a right to be given money. He lives there too so he should help. My household with my teens. We have given them allowances but when money is tight , they understand. We give them a 20 here and a 20 there when we can. Hang in there. Tell him if he doesn’t not quit his crap and be grateful you don’t have to use his money to let him have his Playstation or other luxurious things. Tell him he would have to earn them if he keeps his actions up. Hugs and good luck. My kids know that nothing is for free and have to earn things while in school until they are their own and have jobs. We have 1 adult son. He’s completely independent now at 24 and on his own for 2 years now. Our 16 year old daughter is working. She pays for her car and insurance and our 12 year old daughter gets more the allowance now when we can. Just tell him he has to think of it as a job and do things around house to prepare for a job and life as an adult. Good luck. Teens are brutal ugh.

I’d say he needs a reality check. You have allowed him to feel entitled. He is old enough to u set stand why chores are needed if to be done. Unfortunately, he was never given responsibility and now is struggling to understand so it’s 100% your job to teach him. You are not his friend. Your job as a parent is to prepare him for life and if you continue to coddle him and give into him all the time, he’s going to have a very hard time in life. I do not mean for this to come across so bold. Being a single parent is a very hard job and when you aren’t receiving support from his father or the people around you, the burden can be hard to carry. He needs to start working for the things he wants. Maybe yard clean up in the neighborhood could help him help you pay for the luxuries he’s very much taken for granted. Either way, time to put your foot down and teach him about life. If he has $100 and needs to pay rent and feed himself, how do you think he’s going to understand that he can’t spend that money on playing games and going out with friends. He’s going to do what he wants and ignore his responsibilities because no one has ever held him accountable. Lots of luck. That age is very hard. You can do this though. It’s for his own good!

Break it all down for him and show him what that peddlie little bit of money DOESN’T PAY FOR HIM!!
The $80 shouldn’t even be a thought or considered. If you took on the responsibility of a kid, that’s your kid now biological or not. The $80 should go in the bank and you should spend whatever it takes to raise the kid like you volunteered to do wether that’s $60 or $120. If you give your bio kids an allowance, then your adopted kid should get an allowance. If you are tight on money and can’t afford to give them all allowances, none of them should get allowance. You are perfectly right to not feel obligated to pay their allowance when money is tight. I guess what I’m saying is that you weren’t very clear on if allowance is also standard for this son. As long as you keep the expectations and rewards the same for all 4 kids none of them really have a leg to stand on to complain.

If you don’t charge your other kids “gas money” or hygiene products then you shouldn’t charge your 15 year old. There is a big difference between teaching your children how to work for their allowance and singling out a child for not being “biologically yours” as you’ve said you’ve had him since he was a 18 months old. Then you would think you would treat him as your own biological or not and treat him the same as your own.
As for the 15 yr old. I’d sit down and explain to him that you can’t afford his allowance at the moment just like the other kids aren’t getting theirs. And that basic chores is to help you out while living under your roof. But he is being a normal 15 year old Throwing tantrums.
