Son is supposed to pay when he freaks out unnecessarily over some perceived trauma...daughter is supposed to pay when she says "like" in an inappropriate way (not "I like cake," but "he was, like, yelling at me, and I, like, told him to shut up"), I pay when I yell at the kids and it really wasn't their fault...hubby is supposed to pay when he leaves his &#$% shoes in the way. It was great for a while, but son hardly ever freaks out anymore and daughter doesn't do enough of her chores to make money to put in the jar. We're trying to save for spending money for a vacation which is about 2 years down the road (thank you, grad school)....maybe by then we'll have enough for a meal at McDonald's.suzyQhttp://workingmombacktoschool.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5612922345838961786.post-84731560988125035872011-03-12T10:08:23.145-05:002011-03-12T10:08:23.145-05:00I'm with yooooooou totally, fr instance, I am ...I'm with yooooooou totally, fr instance, I am having a cmplete melt dwn, right now, because my "O" button desn't want to WOOOrk!!
