 Whatever, reward your husband
 with sex for going after another woman.  I don't treat my husband like a pet, nor do I use sex as a weapon or a reward, but to each his own.  I prefer the grown-up method of confronting the situation, but as I said, to each his own...
 Why should you reward kids for doing what they should in the first place?
 Like have some sense, not acting out in public, minding their parents and/or other elders in charge. I believe it you give allowance or do something for the children, it should not be a reward type situation. No wonder the kids are so rotten now days.
 That's how you reward her wonderful efforts to better
 herself by taking the initiative to go to college?  Do you have any idea how many kids are content to sit in their butt and do nothing?  You should count your blessings that you have a young lady with the intiative to go to college and you should REWARD her, not PUNISH her.  There is PLENTY of time for her to find out about the "real world."  You require her to work and if that's not enough, you take part of her earnings for yourselves?  Holy crap.
 So in other words, reward him for pulling this crap?
 Not me.  I would confront the situation head-on & nip it in the bud.  Otherwise, it will just happen again with another woman.
 so, you think we should reward them by paying for their bed, heat, water, food?

 When puppy does her business where you want her to, reward her with a piece of food treat.
 And when she pees in house, use paper towels and then place paper towels (soiled) to the area in the yard where you want her to do her business.  Dogs tend to prefer where they smell the odor.  Be patient.  This dog is young.  Confine her to an area where the floor will not be damage (tile or vinyl).  Take her out six times away,including first thing in AM, right before bed, after she eats her meals. Pull water up a few hours before bedtime.  Do enjoy your new puppy dog.
 Leave a big sign on her nightstand, tough situation! Some are thiefs, offer a reward!
