It’s a Times Money section reader dilemma. Give the star  answer and you could win yourself vouchers worth £25.

More usefully, you could offer some thoughts on young people’s need for independence. And say a little about the relationship between power and money. And perhaps hint tactfully that the person who most  needs a lesson in the value of money could be the father, not the daughter.
