We don't give allowances to the kids.
And they have "chores" that they are required to do daily.
And if they get in trouble, there are plenty of extra chores they "get" to do.
There was a time when the two boys were teens, that they would get a little *ahem* mouthy at times.
My husband's famous line was:
"I see your mouth moving but all I hear is, 'More chores'".
And more chores it was.
It was a good season for me.
My garden was well weeded.
My car was spotless.
Things were scrubbed clean.
Ah, the good ole days...
Anyway, since we don't give allowances, a kid is reduced to this:
Just to earn some cash.
A deal between the youngest and Daddy...
When it was suggested, she said; "I thought it was a chore?".
No sweetie, if you're not in trouble you can wash it for cash.

Either way, I didn't have to do it! |
Mine are mouthy too (I have NO idea where they get that from-nope NO idea) and they too have chores with no allowance. But punishment for them is being grounded-but more chores should work out nicely :)
