In our house, to get pocket money, you have to do your Saturday jobs. Saturday jobs must be done by 12 noon. They must be to my satisfaction. If completed before 12 noon and I am asked to check, you have the opportunity to fix any mistakes by 12 noon. If you do not ask for them to be checked and I check them after 12 noon and they are incomplete, no negotiation is entered into, you just don’t get paid (but you STILL have to complete the job properly). The rate of pay is commensurate with the year you are in at school…interestingly, even though the children are now capable of earning $8 and $10 instead of last year’s $7 and $9, they haven’t realised this yet as they have not succeeded with the 12 noon deadline this year!
The above pic is of the dining room and kitchen when Illi had the chairs up to sweep when doing her Saturday jobs today.
