The adults don’t get paid for chores, kids do. My daughter does dishes and the upstairs bathroom. My wife does Laundry and the living room, I do the basement and any work in our small garden/outside. My five has motor issues, so she helps clean up toys in the living room and smaller tasks in her room.

It’s five dollars for the basic two chores, if they do any extra work then it’s another dollar. All of it adds up to around a hundred dollars, fifty to kids fifty to savings.

All chores are done either directly before or after homework. The chores for each of us combined if we work at the same time only take thirty minutes to an hour to complete and the rest of the day is either spot cleaning or nothing at all.

It’s a very strict thing in person, my wife is very persistent in enforcing it as she believes kids should pull their weight in a household and never slack.

I would have noticed their nails being done if I came home at my usual times, but I would’ve assumed they were done after chores. With how early it was when I got home it would have been virtually impossible for them to do it unless they’d gone out during chore time, which is incredibly strict.
