[quote=Anonymous]I think paying for a chore is not the same as a reward. Paying for work done is how the world works and seems like a good plan for lots of reasons. When I was a kid I was required in the summer to weed for 1 hour per day. My mother came by and saw that I was just laying in the grass and waiting for the time to go by --so then I had to save my weeds on a piece of newspaper to show her. Then I would pitch the pile into the woods. I figured out I could still just lie in the grass -- then before the hour was up would go get some old weeds from the woods and put a few "fresh" ones on top. As an adult I told my mother about this. She laughed saying of course she knew this -- the plan was just to get me outside for a bit. It was never about the weeds. I was ten years old.[/quote]
