Hello, fellow weekenders! Having a nice weekend already? Hope so!
Children getting paid for helping at home???
I mean, should they gain money for helping in the house? I don't think so. They should be disciplined and help at home because that way, they will become self-sufficient. They will know what future will provide them. If you grow up getting money for being a helpful person in your own house, what will happen if there's no money one day. Will you let the house fall to pieces?
Part of my childhood was being able to help at home. My parents separated when I was 5 years old, and growing up with a single mom was not easy, but not so bad either. When I got more conscious of the help needed at home, I knew I had to do my part. I am the eldest, so in that moment of my childhood, while my mom was working, I had to do the house shores. Doing the dishes, sweeping the floor, I even learned own to cook.
I never got money for doing those things. If I go back to those years, my reward was sitting on a chair, and watch Buffy The Vampire Slayer 😄.
I used to help my sisters with their homework, and I was very disciplined at school, so I always got good grades. I remember I used to tell my sisters to go to my aunt's so I could clean peacefully. While the stereo speakers played La Oreja de Van Gogh, I swept and mopped the floor. I sang out loud and had everything clean for when my mom came home.
Never got paid. Never needed to be paid for helping in my house. That experience made me self-sufficient. I learned how to do the laundry, I learned how to cook and so many things.
