Money and the Artist

Hello.

I'm mom
to a
darling
7 year old.

Whom as of late
has asked for
an
allowance.

Normally
this wouldn't
be an issue
but since
we have a
maid that lives with us
and
cleans everything...

Go ahead. I'll give you a few seconds to be jealous.
Keep in mind though, that the Air Force is not paying us
boat loads of cash...
Having a maid in this area is
part of the norm.
It would be consider
pretty darn strange
if we didn't
and
who am I
to be strange?
Don't answer that...
Anywho...

We're pretty limited on
what she can do
to
earn said
allowance
...


I raised the issue on
twitter
and now
I come to you
my dear readers.

Suggestions are welcomed.

I would say making her own bed, removing her dishes from the table, putting away her clothes (or making sure her dirty clothes are placed in the hamper), and even helping the maid fold or put away clothes are ways that she can earn her allowance.

The maid works for you and your Husband (the people with the money). Lol. Have the maid stop cleaning her room. Or maybe you can form it around grades in school. We had a maid and I swear my Mother wouldn't let the maid clean my room.
