S1E18 - S01E018: The Chores & Allowance Discussion

Orange Cream Roulette (Valentine’s Day)

This week we sit down to discuss Chores and Allowances. Some families package these topics together and some choose not to. Sara discusses cleaning Hummel figures, molding and cleaning until 5pm. We knew that when Saved by The Bell came on, it was time for chores. Do fake Adidas need to have 2 stripes? Michael shrinks his clothes at college. Mike discussed cleaning his room and Star Wars toys. We discuss teaching our kids about laundry, cash cards, green light, dividing and conquering and keeping that family Orange Tree alive. We discuss grocery store snacks for the person that helps, pocketing money for Star Wars toys and more! Of course we talk about chores & allowance when we were younger, now with our own kids and what the supposed experts say. Raising kids truly is a four way game of tug of war, because it’s the three of us and all of you!
