[quote=Anonymous]We have certain things that are just part of living in the house.  They are:
-- helping unload the dishwasher
-- clearing your plate
-- keeping your room moderately clean and/or helping 
adult clean it (same with toys in other areas of house)
-- helping sweep up crumbs they drop on the floor (I got a really sweet little brush and pan at Target for them to use)
They do not get allowance for these things.  Our older child (9) also takes out the recycling, but I don't think a 7 year old could do that.  It's a lot of sorting, and you have to be tall enough to see in the bins, etc.

If they want to earn cash, I am always happy to pay them for the following tasks:
-- vacumming any room
-- swiffering wood floors and bathrooms
-- cleaning windows (well, with a squeegee)
-- washing the car and/or vacumming the inside
-- cleaning out old coupons in the coupon drawer
I will pay them double the going rate for these tasks if they are using the money to donate for a charity or to buy Christmas presents for a relative (like an employer-match program).
