Nope. And I did chores and helped out around the house. Honestly, I was an odd kid and didn't expect money from my parents. I even paid for college completely on my own and didn't get money from them during that either. Relatedly, every year I give my parents either something worth ~1k to ~5k as a gift, or simply give them cash in that range. For example, this year Dad got a SLR camera, and my parents are going off on a eight day cruise.
My tendency to not ask my parents for money honestly seemed to bother my father now and then. Carribbean pride is a delicate and extremely nuanced thing, and he seemed to take it as an insult towards his earning power that I didn't feel the need to waste his money.
I also avoided buying a car until they forced me to buy one. (Used my own money on that.) This also bothered my father.
Every now and then my father would toss 20 dollars at me and COMMAND that I leave the house and find something to spend it on.
... Disturbingly, looking back at those times, I am thoroughly convinced that was my parents' way of getting me out of the house so they could... bang.
Anyway, having said all that, I think giving a child an allowance is normal, and I don't think my experience should be used as an excuse not to give a modern day kid an allowance. Learning to handle money, experiencing the bite and sting of a few poor purchasing decisions, finding happiness or the lack thereof in things you buy; that's part of good upbringing.
