- Winter makes it sound like the trouble with her allowance happened when she joined the military, meaning after she graduated from Atlas.

- It sounds like the issue with Weiss is more a "why Beacon when you could attend Atlas?"

Basically, I think Mr. Schnee is cool with his daughters taking up huntress training, but not cool with making careers out of it. And wants them near home during said training, to ensure he can keep his influence on them

He cut off Weiss allowance for not picking up the phone, it sounds like at this point he is not even trying to bring her back to Atlas, but to sustain communication so he can influence her.

And while allowing them to go train as huntresses but not wanting to pursue as a job might sound contradictory, given how important the Schnee semblance seems to be to their identity,  it's possibly he wants them to train to have that on point, nothing more.

Though I don't see how cutting off Winter's allowance once she joined the military could really work for anything, if it basically means she already had an stable job and income.
