This morning we had a topic about kids that may be spoiled and don't always appreciate sometimes how good they have it!
A Mom called talking about her 12 year-old with his issues. She had a very cool idea...make him work for his allowance like a job. Yes..we all had chores as a kid and if you took out the trash/whatever...you were given your weekly wad of cash. She made her child apply for a job at the house...
*made him fill out an application
*interview
*has performance reviews
*gets paid weekly for a job well done.
*1/2 goes to him...the other to 401k(savings account)
Best thing about this...SHE"S FIRM! If he only does half the work...he only gets half the pay...no running to daddy. Kids can't learn if we just open the wallet whenever they want something...I applaud this Mom for teaching her child a valuable lesson that will pay off in a big way. Talk to you in the morning...
