[QUOTE="hearts and roses, post: 115719, member: 2211"] To earn money for chores she'd have to do something OUTSTANDING like rake the leaves, wash my car or H's truck, clean out the garage, vacuum the pool, those kinds of things. My easy child and difficult child's normal chores were always dusting, emptying garbages, cleaning the tub and bathroom sink, emptying and loading the dishwasher, bathing the dogs, tidying their room, folding laundry. And in the spring they would be expected to help with yard cleanup, likewise in the fall. For doing these chores, I might spot them a movie pass or some ice cream money, maybe a sleep over with treats and a rental. They get to live here rent free with free food and entertainment, dinners out, family vacations, etc. We're a team so we all chip in the make the household run. That's my stance. Anything over and above those chores is extra and I would pay them for it. Raking the lawn - $15. Washing my car - $10. Washing H's truck - $20. Cleaning out the garage - $10. Vacuuming the pool - $15. It also depends if they follow through with the chore, Know what I mean?? Oh, and weeding - that's a biggie in the summer. For that I would pay BIG money ($10/hour for help digging holes, planting and weeding, laying the ground cover, spreading mulch). I also always suggest the hit up the neighbors we know to help with yard work, walk dogs, house sit, water plants. [/QUOTE]
