My dad says that we shouldn't do chores for money what should i do?????????

Question

Now we have to Read to get money!!

Answer 1

What's the problem with Reading? It's a great way to learn about any subject you want! History, Geography, Animals, ANYTHING!! So, you have to at least try to enjoy reading! I love reading and my mom would NEVER pay me for just reading. You're lucky!!

Answer 2

Well as a member of a healthy family I think you should still do a few chores. Help out.

I think that's great that you dad is encouraging you to read w/ money. Expand your mind, earn some cash.

Answer 3

You should maybe hand out newspaper articles.

Answer 4

read if u want cash...

Answer 5

if you are desperate for the money read.

Answer 6

well, in a way he is right-you should do chores because that is what you do in families- if you want to get paid for the chores, then your parents will start charging you for laundry and meals and stuff- and hey- whats wrong with reading? i read for free, and that would be a great way to earn money-can you pick books you like?-what a great idea your folks have.

Answer 7

I never gave my kids an allowance when they did their chores as they were part of this household and had to learn how to do things and as I told them after all you ate and slept here and you have clothes to wear

Answer 8

Actually that's the only way he can get you to read, don't lie.

Answer 9

Id rather read

for money than do chores.

Answer 10

I wished someone paid me to read instead of doing housework!!! You are lucky, girl. . . .

Answer 11

I agree..do you pay your dad for bieng responsible going to work and actually sticking around for his kids (alot of men leave especially when they have spoiled annoying kids that ask for money)

get a job if you want money

i ve been working since i was 7! i never asked my mom for money and my father was never around for me to ask him for money

chores should be done free..you live there dont you why do u ask for money?

thats the problem with the new generations..so ungratefull

babysit

mown lawns

rake leaves

clean houses

go door to pretending to have a donation thing for school

thats what i did before i turned 15...at 15 i worked "under the table" at the mall and at 16 i got a legal job

  

Answer 12

Answer 15

read... like a book. well if you didnt read much before then you will read now. other thing is you can get a job. thats what most people do.

Answer 16

I LIKE YOUR DAD !!!

he is a very smart guy,

allowance should be in exchange for helping with the home and doing MORE THEN you fair share to help the family.

Now, go make you bed,clean your room and get the laundry put away,

get off the computer and do what needs to be done NOW !!

Answer 17

he's right... he's doing you a huge favor, although you don't realize that right now.

Answer 18

chores are in his eyes the way you help your family out on a daily basis like he does.   Maybe you should ask him about you getting a part time job after work to make money
