The general questions parents usually ask about chores are the following:Should teens have them?Should teens and parents agree on a list of chores together?Should teens have freedom to decide when to do them?Should teens be paid for doing the chores?
One mother says,"I don't get paid for doing housework.Why do I have to pay my daughter for doing chores?"Another parent pays his son for doing the housework and odd jobs around the house.He says,"No chores,no money.It makes teens responsible for earning their money,rather than having it simply given to them,as an allowance."Some teenagers complain,"My friends don't have to do chores,so why should I?
