I wouldn't be dusting I know that.
ReplyDeleteThat doesn't seem to be the way I remember it.
ReplyDeleteMy memory was more like:
TV privilege -Clean room
1 Soda on Saturday night-Fold laundry
Eat all on plate including vegetables - Get desert
Should have meals for chores, not money.

ReplyDeleteWhat's Mom's Choice, and why is it only a buck?
My wife does the same for me: only, it's not cash! Talk about motivational!!!
ReplyDeleteI know children that work on farms; they are not paid a lot, but they bank part of their money and keep some for their personal use.
ReplyDeleteThe first time they went to buy Christmas gifts and were told there is tax on what you buy, a whole new lesson in life began, with much frowning and 'that's not fair'.
