Then we changed things... they only got paid for extra chores, but not if their personal things weren't don first. It really helped the boys to know that some things we get paid for... other things we don't... making bed... I'm not paying for you to do something that should become a habit. Sweep and mop the floor... I'll pay for that! I think we all find what works for our family and go from there. Starting out again we don't have any money, so the boys don't earn anything.... on hte flip side of that they are faithfully praying that dad will see more patients so he can earn money and then we can pay them :){leah}https://www.blogger.com/profile/09332673065709118013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2752301202206348765.post-80574247111432663822013-09-16T19:02:34.356-07:002013-09-16T19:02:34.356-07:00I think $1 is a great amount.

I don't pay for chores but if the kids want to earn money I would think of items that they could do above and beyond pitching in around the house. They get to learn the value of a dollar and how hard it is to work for money. Jobs are hard to come by and often we work hours and do tasks to get, what we think, is not enough or very little money.... that's life. You are doing an amazing job raising for awesome boys the way they should be raised. They love you and have a solid relationship with God, what more can you or them ask for? You are all truly blessed <3<br /><br />As always you are an inspiration to myself <2Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06138473863602848164noreply@blogger.com
