[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not the skill involved that’s important. It’s teaching your children that some things are more important than money and they shouldn’t expect to be compensated for everything.  Like doing their best in school or contributing to family projects or volunteering in their community. Do your children expect to be paid when they volunteer?

BTW, how would you react if your child got a C?[/quote]

What makes you think OP [b]has[/b] to compensate her kids for everything? She’s choosing to acknowledge and reward exceptional achievement. What is wrong with that? Getting straight A’s in honors and AP classes is exceptional. Having kids that are able to do that while also embracing skilled, manual labor is doubly exceptional.

Seems to me the only people that would have a problem with this philosophy are the ones with unexceptional children. You wish your kids were this amazing, but the only way you can imagine it happening is through bribery and coercion. What you probably fail to realize is that both you and your children have always been mediocre and – only now – are you coming to grips with your insurmountable lack of accomplishment. [/quote]

You are one of those DCUM posters who can see through your screen right into another posters house!  And you can read minds! Amazing! Exceptional!

Are your parents paying you for all this wonderfulness or are you doing it all for free? For free?  OP’s kids are smarter than you.
