We had a family meeting about our new chore system.
The kids are getting $5 every Sunday as a weekly allowance.
We will have a chart to monitor how they are doing during the week, a checkmark is given to chores not done or major attitudes given (we are getting way too much attitude around here lately).
One checkmark=.25 cents
They need to pay us for each checkmark they receive.
Allowance can be increased for good behavior and taking care of all their chores w/o being asked. However it cannot go over their age.
Emily has more chores than Ryan b/c she is older and therefore we expect her to be more responsible.
We are also using this to really work with Ryan about math (which he loves), money and of course being responsible.
In addition to that we have:
'Bedtime Bonus' - If they get IN bed by 8:30pm on school nights ALL week.. they get an extra $1/week.
"Special Project Bonus" - If they agree to help with extra projects not related to their chore list, they will get an extra $1 per project.
So... let the fun begin. Maybe we can finally get some shit done around here.. and I won't be the only one doing it!
