Allowance Time

The boys are now 4 and 6. Most of you with kids know what that means. DAD, "When are we gonna by some new droids," DAD, "Jake got a new Bionicle and now he has more than I do." In order to avoid constant assault, they can be relentless, I have started them on an allowance. $1 a day if they are good and do what they are told, including eating and cleaning up. Plus whatever odds and ends I can come up with. If they are good all 7 days in the week, they get a 50 cent bonus. Kind of goes along with the video. Payday is on Fridays. They had their first payday yesterday, and I took em to Toys R US to spend thier fortune today. They were actually pretty good, and kept within their allowance. They are now gonna start recycling the cans and plastic bottles to get more Dough. It's been working out real well, but it's all new and may become a complete failure this week. We'll see.

Allowance seems to work pretty well for us too. I could not beleive it want my 3yr old asked, 'Dad, do you have any money'?
