Dont get too envious just yet. I dont help around the house very often. Im usually so worn down by the weekend, all I do is try to compress the foam of my spot on the couch a little more. If Im not doing that, Im working on the boat or some other meaningless project. And cooking. I love cooking. But even that has to change now that Mrs E's cholesterol numbers were so bad.

Not to mention, Im tired of my 9 year old daughter expecting everything to magically happen for her. Food magically appears on clean plates. Clothes magically are washed, folded and put away. I made her start doing clothes and dished. Granted, I did most of the work, but that will be changing soon.

I'm not quite sure what Sallie does on hair day. They do offer a complimentary glass of wine. One glass would put me over the edge and then I wouldn't be able to keep my head up straight and my hair cut would be crooked or she'd have a hard time coloring with my head bobbing around :lol:
Oh, well then youve got it down! Sallie never said her hair ever turned out good. Just that she enjoys the hair nights! :lol:

:laugh: I think it's strategic on my hair stylist's part. You can't complain if you can't actually SEE anything to complain about. :laugh:

At 9, my kids already had "chores" I never touched the dishes, they loaded and unloaded. When they were younger than 9, their job was to unload the tupperware dishes/cups. They also had to sort their laundry into the proper bins, clean toilets, vacuum. I taught them young. However - the teenage boy has now has selective memory :lol: he can't seem to remember how to do these jobs any longer or remember when I do tell him to do things. :lol:

I think I started doing chores at 6 or 7. I was cutting the whole yard by 9.

We started chores on a pay by completion scale. Each chore was anywhere from $.10 to $1 depending on how tedious/difficult/dirty it was. Like cleaning a bathroom weighed more than sweeping the kitchen. She had the chance to earn about $10 a week. She keeps asking for video games, movies, toys. And I keep telling her no. Then she gives me the puppy dog eyes and the occasional tears. So I have to remind her that she COULD be buying her own stuff if she worked for it. Suddenly, having the desired object isnt so important. We are raising a lazy kid and it drives me nuts, so Im trying to fix it.
