So we had a big meeting and I laid down the chores list. <br />And they have 2 kinds of chores - some that they do just because they have to contribute to the family and then some that they get paid for. That way they know I'm not paying them to make their own beds LOLSandcastle Mommahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11909850898687059507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427017606136667147.post-90753242198201046702011-01-31T10:02:41.050-08:002011-01-31T10:02:41.050-08:00Kudos to you!

I find I've turned into one of those cantankerous old women who shakes her head and says things like, "Kids these days!"<br /><br />I did chores when I was a kid and my kids did the same. When I came back to Florida and was living with my sister and her then two teenagers, they did nothings around the house. My nephew would even set the garbage from his room by the trashcan in the kitchen for me to take outside. My sis explained he had school, baseball and friends that took up all his time.<br /><br />Now I'm staying with my daughter and 19 yo granddaughter. Love her tons, but getting her to do anything is like pulling teeth.<br /><br />Isn't this part of parenting? You got the right idea and roll with it, good for you!Shellbellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14836629045327379085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427017606136667147.post-47798100722532076452011-01-26T15:00:24.337-08:002011-01-26T15:00:24.337-08:00For some reason I can hear my Dad...."know I&...For some reason I can hear my Dad...."know I'm not just going to give you money...you have to earn it"!!! So each week I had a list of chores to complete before the allowance was handed out. So...now that my daughter is now driving her own car she is contiually holding out her hand....!!! Even offered to follow me to the ATM machine...how sweet of her!!! Now I find myself saying the same exact words...."I'm not just going to give you money...you have to earn it". Well, so far, she does bath the dog every other week and......well, that is about it. At least she drives away from me at the ATM smiling and waiving......

I only make my kids do a few things here and there for chores because I know at least a couple times a month they will be begging and pleading to buy x-box live points - that's when they become my slaves for a day lol!Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12500564300569765406noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2427017606136667147.post-72678424685005717732011-01-06T17:38:17.412-08:002011-01-06T17:38:17.412-08:00I hope that works out for you.

He's supposed to get an allowance for that, but he borrowed money from me and now doesn't get his allowance until his next birthday (April). He still has to make his bed and feed the dogs though.Sayrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16350593991157139017noreply@blogger.com
