Do your children have "jobs" around the house? What is each job worth?

[aspie*mum]

My 6 y/o and 2/3rds has jobs they are:

- Make sure her dog's water bowl is filled with clean water

- Fill up her dog's bowl with dry food

- Brush and wash the dog weekly (she is supervised with the brushing)

- Make sure the dog is walked at least once a day

- All toys packed up at the end of the day

- Fill up the bird seed feeder when it runs out

- Put her dirty clothes in the hamper
- Put her breakfast dishes in the dishwasher.

- Check the vegie garden daily for anything that needs to be picked.

We are currently working on how to make the bed, but she has a double bed and lacks coordination so she still needs a lot of help with this.

She doesn't receive any payment for ANY of her jobs.  I believe that as a family, we all have to work together and contribute.  No one pays me to do any housework.

She does however, get given money for her school cafe once a week.

She also gets 1 Doctor Who micro figure on the weekend ($3) if she does all her readers during the week.

She also gets 15 minutes of iPad time a weekday once she has finished her homework from the psychologist.

One of my friends was horrified that she has so many jobs, but I believe having jobs is teaching her responsibility (especially when it comes to looking after pets).

What do others do with their kids?  I run a pretty strict household in many ways, but quite liberal in others.

On a serious note it is actually quite disturbing how many people read bolt, like him and worse still think it is gospel.

I don't have many friends that are right wing, I know very few that would remotely consider voting for Tony Abbott, yet I was out Saturday night with friends I had not seen for years, we discussed politics and it was all too obvious what they read - the Daily Telegraph.

Christopher Pyne has some 'interesting friends in Adelaide with 'interesting pasts and  interesting links' .

Saw him at a Kmart handing out flyers,noone approached him, I  laughed at his lisp when he approached me.
