The weekly magazine People has the Obama Family on the August 4th cover. Inside the mag. Democratic Presidential Nominee Barack Obama talks about the families set routines, including the $1.00 a week allowance his daughters receive for doing their chores.
While most people think a $1.00 for allowance is nothing that's $1.00 more than I pay my kids. I figure I pay for the cell phones, the clothes, the shoes, food, etc. why should I have to pay them to do their chores. I do pay them for extra things they do for me like watch their baby brother or do research or typing on the computer for me. Aside from blogging I have a full time job and two businesses that I run so they help me with the home office stuff, they get paid for that but not for chores no way. What a gorgeous family.
