120: Allowance Made Simple: Our Family’s Chore Chart System
Description
Are your kids constantly asking for things but complaining every time you ask them to help around the house? 🙋♀️ Yep, that was our house too...until we tried something new.
In this week’s Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m sharing how we introduced a chore and allowance chart for our three boys and why it’s already making a difference. From teaching gratitude and the value of money to cutting down on the whining (hallelujah!), this little system has been a game-changer.
I’ll walk you through:
- Why we realized our boys needed a chore/allowance system
- How we decided what chores are just part of living here vs. “paid” chores
- The way our chart works and how we set chore values
- Alternative ideas you can try if a chart isn’t your style
- What we’ve learned after three weeks (including why I now keep a stack of $1 bills in the house 😂)
Plus, hear how one of my boys surprised me by wanting to save his money instead of spend it!
