I'm watching my 6 yr old nephews for the weekend. How can I convince them to clean out my gutters?

Question

They haven't been cleaned out in a year.

Answer 1

put them on a wooden ladder...light the bottom of the ladder on fire...they will have no where to go but up...tell them they can't come down until the gutters are clean...

Answer 2

Do it yourself instead of using children to do it. Believe it or not, kids aren't put here to do your d**n housework!

Answer 3

lol.... icecream bribe. JK. Dont' let them on the roof.  Very dangerous. But hey ... icecream.

Answer 4

cash or offer to take them to chukie cheeses or something i dunno~! say its the power ranger's favorite job...lol. but why make a 6year old clean it??????

Answer 5

You don't have 6 year olds get on ladders and clean out gutters; They could fall and break something or worse. Get your lazy butt up there and clean out your own gutters.

Answer 6

Get him some kind of little toy bulldozer or something, and make it into a game for him.  You ought to be able to get him one for a couple of bucks.

Answer 7

Haha! I couldn't help but start laughing at this question. I can just see it now, 6y/o nephews on the roof cleaning gutters and then falling to their doom.

If I was you, try to find the cheapest way to get them to do it, and make sure it doesn't take very much effort either. By the time you waste your effort on trying to convince them to do it for you, you'll have wasted tons of time, and still do it yourself.

Tell them you'll take them for an ice cream cone and you'll let them watch silly cartoons or something.

Answer 8

your mean... jerk! There 6! They could fall and get hurt! Do it yourself fatty! XD

Answer 10

well, ur name is persuasion, so u should no!!

Answer 11

Calm down people, the question wasn't 'What are your views on making my six year old clean my gutters' it was 'How do I convince them to clean my gutters'. This is Yahoo Answers people, not Yahoo Completely Change The Subject, so answer the goddamn question!!!

I think money is the way to go about it...

Answer 12

don't do that! thats mean!!

Answer 13

Ever hear of child endangerment and another one called, Child labor laws, actually that would also be a form of child abuse. I should report you for this.

Answer 14

Cold. Hard. Cash.

Answer 15

why would it be safe to let 6 year olds on the roof to clean out gutters? do it yourself!

Answer 16

help them, theyre 6!

Answer 17

That's not safe for a child!

Get your friends to help next weekend!

Answer 18

Do you really think that 6 year olds should be climbing ladders? Don't put them to work, take them out and have some fun!

Answer 19

Offer them a reward. Help them out though; don't just employ them!

Answer 20

What?

I six year old shouldn't be cleaning gutters.

Answer 21

Dude... they're *six*.  They shouldn't be climbing on ladders and cleaning your gutters.

Stop being lazy and do it yourself. :)

Answer 22

6 Years old?!?! Your a jerk. They can't do it!!

Answer 23

Are you retarded

you dont make a six yr old do that do it yourself you lazy *** !!!!!!!!!!

do you see me grabing a six yr old child out from somewhere and dragging them into my apartment and make him/her do all my house work???

No

I have to do it myself its nobody,s responsability but my own

Answer 24

You could probably convince them for a couple of bucks but there's always the risk of them falling and getting hurt. Then you'd have to explain that to their parents.

Answer 25

That's terrible!

Answer 26

I think you are joking, but if you're not...if they go up on your roof, it is child endangerment, and that is several years in the big house, my friend.

Be smart. Clean the gutters yourself, or hire an adult.

If I saw my neighbors' 6 year olds cleaning gutters I would call Child Protective Services. Hopefully your neighbors would do the same.
