Chores for kids

I think for kids to earn an allowance they should have to do simple chores. Some chores they can do are mowing the lawn, picking up sticks, shoveling the driveway, or clean the house. when I was a kid I did all those things and never got paid for.
I personally feel that there should be a reward for doing work.
All kids want to make money. this is an easy way for them to pick up a little extra cash.

I make all my kids do chores for 10 dollars a week. They each have to keep there room clean, make there bed, set the table, and vacuum two rooms a week to earn it. You can increase the pay base on your life style or how much work they are doing.
Remember though not to make it too high or their respect for one dollar will go down.
