I'm from the days of 'wash the dishes or no TV.' Never got an allowance, either.

Uh oh,.
I wish I'd thought of that at her age! I only got $10 a month for a lot of chores.
She gets her smart mouth honest. I told her I am her living wage. 😂
Threaten to charge rent! 😆
Been there
More young women mothers should watch a few Etta May videos before having a child. It would probably have a huge positive impact on the human race. Example: www.facebook.com/watch/?v=266...

God bless the children everywhere! They keep us on our toes and entertained.
This made me smile. :). Enjoy the day Jess
Laughed so hard I cried I think this next generation has their shit together
Me: Yup, this is the cost of you *living* in this household. But recalling raising our kids, I'm fairly certain this would have been flipped around on me in short order. Reminder: every kid has the soul of a lawyer.
Solid work ☺️
I'm ☠️! 🤣🤣🤣 You taught her TOO well. 😆
Reminder that remuneration does not have to be wages and can include room and board ;)
That’s a solid parenting win!
Obviously a great mom.
It’s all fun and games until you find out they actually listened to your lessons 😂
Happy Labor Day Jess💙🇺🇸💙
Put your money where your mouth is, Mom! 🤣🤣🤣
It’s a living allowance tell her !!
A smart cookie. Hope you coughed up the extra…
If your food, housing, and health care is covered, maybe that IS a living wage, hmm? Now do the dishes. Sounds like you have a cool and smart kid there, good job!
Suggest giving her a raise and then having her chip in on your family's housing and food costs for the month 😊
Hilarious! Smart girl.
😂😂😂
Good kids!!!
Smart kid!
😂😂
"I took your living wage, deducted the cost of rent, food, medical insurance, and this is what's left." Behold the NET living wage.
Lol..
That's when you snap back and say rent is due😁
Our teen son is a savvy chore/allowance negotiator as well. He drives a hard bargain, but we’re proud.
Chip off the block, isn’t she?
"I feed, clothe and house you. Now empty the dishwasher."
Basically my response in a nutshell😂
Nothin wrong with raising SMART INTELLIGENT kids! 😉
Living wage with the backing of a proper welfare state that guarantees education, housing, food and healthcare is radically different from a living wage in a dog eat dog capitalist society. Fortunately your family is run more like the former, not the latter.
Then you charge for room and board and bills...
🤣🤣🤣 used this trick.
