Washing dishes and walking the dog

Washing dishes and walking the dog are family chores. In some families, kids earn a regular allowance for such work. Taking out the garbage can is dirty job. Do you think kids should be paid more for this ? Perhaps you could bargain about your allowance ! You can also do chores for your neighbors. Look around. Is someone too busy to walk her dog ? Does someone need his car washed ? Who else needs help ? Be sure to agree about payment before you work. Some kids have regular part-time jobs. Delivering newspapers before is one.
