120: Allowance Made Simple: Our Family’s Chore Chart System

Are your kids constantly asking for things but complaining every time you ask them to help around the house? 🙋‍♀️ Yep, that was our house too...until we tried something new.

In this week’s Burnt Pancakes: Momversations, I’m sharing how we introduced a chore and allowance chart for our three boys and why it’s already making a difference. From teaching gratitude and the value of money to cutting down on the whining (hallelujah!), this little system has been a game-changer.

I’ll walk you through:

• Why we realized our boys needed a chore/allowance system
• How we decided what chores are just part of living here vs. “paid” chores
• The way our chart works and how we set chore values
• Alternative ideas you can try if a chart isn’t your style
• What we’ve learned after three weeks (including why I now keep a stack of $1 bills in the house 😂)

Plus, hear how one of my boys surprised me by wanting to save his money instead of spend it!
