Brainfade Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 I got my 7 and 5 year olds to finish their weekly playroom clean up and gave them 50 cents each for their labor. My 9 yo niece who is visiting from abroad was watching them, but did nothing to help. Which is OK, but I I did not want to hurt her feelings and gave her 50 cents, too. What a sucker!!
Clarke Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Why are you doling out money to them like the Govt, instead give them tax cuts to create more playroom jobs.

Prakat Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Wouldn't it be great to have a government that gave out cheques every time we vacuumed our house, washed our car and greased our two-man deep-sea diving bell.
Ram Posted August 19, 2012 Posted August 19, 2012 Watch out CA, very soon your kids, nieces and nephews may form unions and start demanding 40 HR play weeks, health insurance coverage for minor playoom accidents like minor bumps, scratches etc. To counter that, you could do what Ohio's secretary of state's equivalent of limiting early voting hours - you could limit playroom access hours. :)

Are they able to pay you back for food, shelter, healthcare and other requirements ? Will you throw them out of the house if they can't, i mean how far can u afford to be under their crushing debt while they live off your hard work and ingenuity :((
