The boys are getting to that age where they need to start learning the value of a dollar so we are basing our family earning system around the commission philosophy that the more you work, the more you get paid. The first day we put the chart up, the boys went nuts. They had been wanting a new x-box game and I told them that if they earned half ($20), I would pay the other half. They quickly figured out that if they worked together towards the same goal, they would reach it much quicker. Hearing them negotiate which jobs each would do was fun to witness and the fact that Sam now thinks scrubbing the toilets is not gross is priceless! Plus, they finally earned the game and my house has been spotless for days.
Bo drew the pictures so Sam & Max could tell what's what
