In reply to Stacie Wier. So this is a totally delayed response, and I am so sorry! We have not had that problem with our daughter, but if we did I think I would definitely do what you do. Also, she does not have the opportunity to earn any extra money either if her basic chores arent done. If she still didnt do it, I would probably have to start taking away some of the things she enjoys, like friend time and using her ipad. Hope that helps!

I was just wondering what you did if your daughter did not keep her room lean or put laundry away as instructed? I have deducted from my daughters allowance so that although she is expected to do theses things to contribute to family, if i have to do them for her, she will have to pay me. Unfortunately, I still have trouble motivating her and wondered if you had any other ideas or suggestions??

I think this system could work really well for me even though mine are with me only intermittently. I think the signing of a post it not only allows the ability to inspect the work done if necessary but prevents “I did this work on “x” date, no you did not” arguments.

You have really set up a terrific system here for helping your daughter learn responsibility and money smarts. We do similar with our son but I like the idea of him having a ledger to keep track! Thanks for the idea! Pinning 🙂

I like it. What a great way to introduce banking and balancing your account at the end of each month.
