How much to charge for board?

[fundj&e]

Mich i havnt read all of the pages

i would ask your DSD what she wanted to pay and give her time 2 think about it

[mcmich]

I don't think I would charge you board either Amy. You do all the cooking and a lot of cleaning. That would more than make up for board.

[Yvette]

Yes AMy you can come and live at my place and do all the cooking yay

i charge my kids 10% of their wages plus i collect another $20 off them when electricity bill arrives. I do cook and include them but i expect them to buy meat or bread or milk or groceries if i need them on the odd occasion.

This is a very interesting thread ....... I can see myself asking for similar advice (but at the other end of the age spectrum) soon regarding pocket money for kids

Amy, you are a treasure. Your work would equal board and lodging in this house too so you could save for your own.

Same here KarenH. Just got over the how much for a first tooth hurdle, so hoping pocket money is a few years away yet.

Mcmich, what have you decided? Is a hard one.

Kids, tooth fairy, pocket money.

Tooth fairy, dh started this off with $10!!!!! So cp gets $10 a tooth!! Way too much.

This holiday he wants everything, now we say if you would like it it comes out of your money, the $100 we gave him for good naplan. He had $110, still as $84 left, he will spend it on lego today.

We ave found you use your money a great idea.

$10 a tooth.....   we pay $2 a tooth.

Pocket money we will start next year.
we put $20 away for each child per week. ($1000 year)

$10 a tooth.....   we pay $2 a tooth.

 

I used to get 50 cents. Or $1 if I was lucky

But mum was single at that stage, studying full time with only casual work.... so I'm sure I can forgive her

We never got much pocket money either. I used to think that wasn't fair but I understand now

$5 for the first tooth and then $2 per tooth there after, pocket money goes by age  11yr old $11, $7yr old $7 and 3yr old $3  if they do their chores if not $1 deducted per missed job, they learn pretty fast and they usually get  a bonus if they have been able to do heir chores without being nagged

$10 a tooth.....  

TF used to leave $1-2 when our kids were small. Reading this aloud to DD24 who is going into  day surgery in half an hour to get 4x wisdom teeth out..."ooh, that's pretty good -- imagine how much I would get then!"

[Amy :-)]

LOL

Poor DD, good luck to her CP
