Hello everyone, welcome back to my blog, I wish everyone a splendid weekend!
(I love cooking, I cook almost everyday and still do other chores without expecting payment)
To the question ask, if children should get financial reward for doing everyday tasks and chores?.
Well my answer is No, but this doesn’t mean that children shouldn’t be appreciated once in a while, I mean chores ain’t really easy to do, so once in a while appreciation is very valid to keep the children going to do more, I bet 98% of children don’t even request for financial rewards for every chores they do at home, but only require the normal basic provision every parent should give.
And for a fact paying the children because they swept the house, or did the dishes or because they arranged the house is actually bad idea because it would definitely turn into a tradition that even on the days that the parent doesn’t have to give would now become a real problem, because on the days that they’re no payment they wouldn’t do the needful, infact for me I don’t even buy the idea of financial rewards for children because they did the house chores, as a parent a good home training is valid in the society and children shouldn’t be expecting payment for them to learn how to be useful to themselves and to their parents.
When I was a child, I didn’t really do much work because I had plenty older siblings, and I never really saw that my parents paid my siblings to do house chores, and even to the time that I started doing some of the chores, I was never paid to do it, because here in Africa we take it as normal and home training, although we were been appreciated some times, my parents would buy us stuffs like clothes, shoes, somedays special treats like going buy food from restaurants but never did they pay us for doing something that we ought to do as children.
I can’t obviously sit and watch my mother cook or my father sweep the floor while I’m there, thats really disrespectful, and I also can’t ask for payment because I did a normal basic house chores thats being ungrateful, they give us money at their own will, I only ask for money its something really important and urgent.
For someone like I love cooking and eating, thats even the more reason while I should learn how to cook for very well, I cook almost everyday and I never expect to be paid, while on the other hand, I don’t really like laundry but at thesame time I wear clothes everyday so I should be able to wash, and I do it regardless sometimes with machine and other times with my hands and I don’t even expect to be paid.
