Had to fire up the joke thread after reading your posts

couldn't tell if joke or serious, though

Good job on reviving that thread, though... there wasn't even a post in 2016...

Isnt that the best type of joke? 

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Hahaha

and soon enough you'll force them to do all of your household chores to earn pocket money?

 

They will do chores whether or not they get paid lol. My job is to raise capable people and part of that is cleaning up after yourself.

 

I reckon I'll give them a base amount as kids do need to learn to manage money and also have independence, eg buy their own lollies etc. If they want extra they can do extra and earn it.

U gotta stop the lies to them to puff... 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Santa aint real and your flat out lying and hiding things behind there backs 

Ha you don't have to tell me bro. The missus wants to let them believe in Santa. We agreed to test the older boy before Christmas to see if his logic could overcome the "lies".

 

I asked deliberate questions as to how a dude could visit the whole world in one night or how big his sack would have to be or how he could climb down the chimney.

 

Apparently magic is the answer.

 

I'll ask him next year and see if he can work it out then. Actually I'll ask him when easter rolls around and we'll see if chocolate really comes out of a rabbit's arse.

We have chores in our house. Reward or not.
The eldest is fine, actually offers to help out and has a great attitude, the middle will only do it if asked or forced or offered money.
We started a pocket money schedule where each chore had a $ value, eg doing the dishes is $1 from start to finish, where as vacuuming the floor boards is only 50c as its half the work.

Theres a log like a time sheet where the chores get written. And no making their beds and cleaning their room isnt a payable task its a necessity.
If their rooms arent clean every day then they forfeit the weeks pocket money.

I'm a biatch... I love it though... means I don't have to do it lol. Had the two smaller ones scrubbing the fronts of my kitchen cupboards the other day... kitchen looks amaze balls lol

Ok I'm definitely leaving my boys with you for a week. Every time they get asked to clean their room they either have to go to the toilet, they are too hot, their legs are too sore, they're too little, they don't know what to do or they just don't want to.
