Chores...

Our children have chores that they are responsible for each week. One thing that we go back and forth on is whether they should be paid to do these chores. Even my youngest son has simple chores that he does such as wiping down the switch covers and dusting. Sometimes we pay our older son for his chores. It really depends on how many other things he is requesting to be able to do. For example, he wants to go to several different camps this summer. I told him that if we were to send him to a few camps then he would need to do his chores without being paid. It only seems fair that if we are stretching the family budget to accommodate these activities that he also stretch his budget so to speak. Do you pay your children for doing chores?
