So I decided that it was time for my kids to get allowance so I made a job chart and got all excited to show and tell the kids all about it and tied it into a family home evening about tithing. They only have to do 2 chores a day Mon-Fri. I mean come on, when I was their age I was doing it all uphill, barefoot both ways!! lol
Well when I was done, I told them that we were going to start tonight. Mackenzie started crying and told me that she has is so over worked and that it isn't right to make her do this. Coleman told me he was going to call the police on me and then he asked if Kaycee and Konner (their friends) had to do these disgusting things.....you see, this week Coleman on bathroom duty.
I kind of laughed and encouraged them to continue. I started loading the dishwasher (yeah, that is not even one of their chores) and all of the sudden Mackenzie pulls out this chore list that her Uncle Tracy had made for his kids when she was staying the night at his house a few weeks ago. She told me she wanted to do those chores. Needless to say, she cleaned the WHOLE house with a SMILE!! ha ha!!
Poor over worked children!!!
