Agree.[b] And agree what you are really paying for is for them to remember, not skip a day, do a good job, etc. not the specific # of minutes worked. $20-$30 for two weeks seems really low.  My 9-year old is currently pet-sitting for $5-7 a visit. [/b]

I also think you could do it every other day, which might be a good compromise.[/quote]

Right. And having that as a new daily chore means the child has to remember and figure it into any plans (e.g., can't just go somewhere like a friend's house right after school and maybe spend the night, because I didn't water the plants today before I left since I was running late). Yeah, it's not a big deal, but it is an inconvenience.

I'm not clear on whether the intent of the thread was to take the temperature of what was reasonable or argue about / defend some preset amount that was already in mind, though> OP, is there some kind of limited range you are willing to consider, or something?[/quote]
