I wanted your opinion about it. It is a parent writing this to their child. It like the child is an employee and not a member of the family. I wanted to know what you gals thought of it. Thanks.

I'm ADHD so I couldn't even get through it. Too many responsibilities expected from the child with nothing "in return". I was completely turned off by it on many levels. There's so little warmth to it I don't think I'd even want to read it as an employee!
Now, let me tell you, if you don't already know, I'm strict. I believe that as a member of my household, you do what you can to pull your load without getting money for it. In return, I'll feed you good food, buy your clothes (within reason), pay for your rec. activities, etc. We play together and have fun together too. I also provide opportunities for you to earn money, but your regular chores and responsibilities must be met first. If I were to treat you like an employee, you may get the idea that you could quit or I could fire you at any time and that just isn't true. We're a family and we don't quit on each other. And as my child, I will love, nurture, and teach you unlike any employment opportunity you could ever have. To treat you as an employee would e a copout on my part!
That's my two bits! ;)

I did not post the part about her threatening to fire him. He told her, well, then I quit.
She told me that she is trying to teach him the value of money and to be a productive person in society.
I don't give my kids chores and in return they do not get allowance but, if I ask for help I get it 99% of the time. They too have a chance to earn money. Heck, hubby even takes Zach to side jobs and get earns money that way.
I went back to that group and deleted my post because she is going to do it her way and it is going to back fire on her. I think he is 11 or 12. Just wait until he is a teenager. She too is not married to his dad anymore and if she does not watch it he will be wanting to move to his dad's and at that age he will just have to ask the court. |

I think this really sucks Anna. Geesh,
even the wording!!!
We have dithered and dathered about chores
and allowance always.
Part of ds's LD is no short term
memory. I finally decided that he would get a very small allowance every
month and it would not be tied to the chores he completes.
He regularly forgets to put his lunch box in
the freezer. He has one of those where the cold packs are part of
the lunch box....
But then again, whenever we ask him to do
something or help he always does.
Of course being 17 he might want a bit more
notice as he has plans which dh doesn't seem to understand. Ds will usually give
dh two hours and then go and do whatever he had planned.
Can't complain about that, it works for
us.
I know this would be totally different if we
had more children and really it goes along with his learning disability.
He spends so much time on homework that sometimes it seems his life is only
school and he has to have some free time. |

I mean hey, I want a spotless, organized home, life, etc.. BUT .. if kids can't be kids & have to have parents like this. .. geez.. as much as I want everything in its place & where it belongs.. I don't want my kids to feel uncomfortable in their own home.. I think she wants a maid.. BUT even her payment plan??? sucks(pardon the language here).. this woman needs help you are right anna, it's gonna backfire & hit her right between the eyes one of these days~ you want your kids to help & learn what the value of a $ is, these days, (which seems to go down daily)uggh.. but they need responsibilities to do & not even get paid for doing them.. I'm sure your kids get things that they want whether they earned it or not... so it's not like they are being made to work or help out for nothing.. & there are some things I DON'T want my kids doing.. I like to do them & there is plenty of other junk for them to do.. in order to keep a home neat, everyone needs to help even if mom doesn't have a job out of the house.. heck if u do you've got 2 jobs.. one person cannot keep EVERY little thing going all the time.. we have down days & up days, but if we miss a day & nobody is catching the slack, then whoosh it's all back to square one around here.. so i didn't care at all for this persons "STINKING" letter & btw did it say how old the kid was??? but I think it has a very "cold" feel to the letter.. Our Home, Inc. must be horrible.. |

Sheesh! I'm glad I don't live there! It's doubtful I'd even live up to her expectations as a functioning adult. What she wants is a servant.
