[QUOTE="meowbunny, post: 115694, member: 3626"] If it's not one of her chores, it was always a way to earn extra money. The going rate would be $5.00 an hour (and she never knew that). I would triple how long it would take me to do the chore and then tell her she would receive X amount upon completion and it had to be done to "mommy standards" -- just okay wasn't good enough and would not get any money. When she was 12, her chores were taking out the trash, putting up the clean dishes, cleaning her room, sweeping the kitchen every other day, dusting the living once a week. So, if she mopped or vacced or folded clothes or did the wash or cooked dinner (or even helped with dinner), she would get money for it. We also had a couple of neighbors who were than happy to let her do chores for them to earn money. Personally, I thought they always overpaid her, but it was their nickel! [/QUOTE]
