Tying Allowance to Chores Could Kill Kids’ Motivation to Help Out
Maybe I’m being naive or self-centered, but why should kids have to do chores? It’s not like they have any choice in their existence. Unless it’s an agreement made by both parties, you probably shouldn’t make your kids to chores. My parents offered me a contract when I was young to do chores in exchange for money but I always refused because I didn’t want/need the money and really didn’t want to do chores. And I turned out just fine (relatively I guess).
