Let's Talk Chores

I feel like my daily life is nothing short of a three-ring circus....literally. 

My husband is all about nutrition, us eating healthy, and getting his exercise in. The kids are all about sports, friends, and themselves. Little man is all about moving around in a circular motion causing non-stop destruction. Me- I am super happy if I go to the bathroom by myself. 

Goals, right?! 

The hubs spoke with me about giving the girls allowance....I am not keen on 'giving' them allowance for being cute. So we compromised on giving them the opportunity of earning money each week. I wanted to come up with little things that were a pain in my butt and things that could easily be done by the girls. My new chore chart will be a work in progress for sure. 

My husband wanted the girls to get about $10 a week each. I played with the amount on these chores to make that amount at the end of the week. Each kid initials the chore once it is done. Sundays are pay days for our family.....mainly because we grocery shop then and I can grab cash! 

The first week one kid earned $11 and the other earned $1.50. Welcome to life kiddos! You don't work, you don't get paid! 

Week 2 of this chart is a little more balanced.  The kid that wants the AirPods is doing the most work.....and I am ok with that! I hope that after working for these things for weeks on end, that she won't lose them. 

I would love to hear some more chore suggestions for kids that are 9-10 years old! 

Can I tell you how nice it is to walk in to the dishes put away....without having to ask, beg or do it myself?!!!!
