Answers:
200 a week and then you pay them 600-800 a month for room, board, clothing, insurance, etc
Its your duty to clean up after yourself
50/week if you are still living with them
As a parent I think nothing... think of all they do for you!
i know your not gonna like my answer but i think you should be doing most of these things anyways as your way to contributing to the household. since im sure your parents dont as you to pitch in with money for food, wash, gas for driving you everywhere, your use of heat, electric, phone, cable and all the other stuff they pay for.
also, you dont mention in what time period you have done these things. is it all within a day, week or month?
i think you should be getting an allowance - not for jobs you do because you should be doing them anyways but just to have some spending money.
Why do you think people have kids? FREE SLAVES HELLO! Personally I think he should pay you $25 a week. Thats what we pay the illegal immigrant from Mexico to clean our house a week.
If you were my daughter, I'd pay you $20 a week & I'd treat you to a dinner out or go to the mall at least twice a month to shop or get your nails/hair done. It's important for a girl your age to have her own spending money. I got paid for doing my chores & when I wanted to go to the movies, dances, shopping, I had my own money to spend.
Well since your still living at home and are going to be there for quite a while I presume I say $25.00 a week that is if you keep up with your chores and grades.
I think that your parents should pay you nothing and you should be greatful that you have a nice home and parents . You are part of a family and it is your job to help when things need done . Your parents feed you , clothe you and give you a education and a place to live .
Be greatful and stop looking for money. A few chores never hurt any one They just might give you some pride in a job well done .
Sounds like you should get around a dollar and a half. What you have done is just a small helping hand for your short stay at your parents house.
I'm sure you didn't ask to be born but they didn't ask for an ungrateful daughter. Your comment about leaving the house and getting a job is healthy. However, if I were you I would enjoy your free stay with Mom and or Dad as long as you can. They are the times you will look back on as the easiest and best times of your life. (try to stay until you are at least 50 LOL) Good luck
PS. I used to get 20 cents every 2 weeks, but then it only cost 9 cents to go to the movies.
How much do you think you should get?
I don't believe your parents should pay you anything. The reason is you belong to a family. Everyone in that family should help each other. You are living with your parents and you should be helping your parents to keep your living quarters clean. No one pays your parents to keep their home clean. That's what families do.
You don't say how old you are, but I'll bet you're not over 18 and never had to do those things in your own home for yourself. How much have you paid them to change your diaper for 3 or so years? Or for the food they put in your tummy? Or the clothes they put on your back all these years? Granted you didn't ask to be born, that was their choice. But if they hadn't done all those things for you, where do you suppose you would be? A family is a group effort. You do your part and they do their part. You should be grateful you have a family that loves you and takes care of you. Someday you may not have that family to do those things for you. Lots of people don't and never have. I hope you don't take this the wrong way. I believe children(and I was one at one time and so were you're parents) should help with the house work, so they learn how to teach their kids someday. And I believe they should get some sort of allowance, so they can learn how to manage their money when their kids want to get paid for all the stuff they do. God Bless you and your family!
God help your husband when you get married!
My mom never paid me to do those things. It was my chore to clean the house, in return I had a place to live, heat, water, food, clothing, and health care. Who do you really think looses out here?
Are you so greedy you want your OWN parents to pay you for doing chores like these?Move out and get a job if you want to get paid.
You should not charge your parents ONE dime, its called helping!! They may just give you a little money as a good gestured for all your help, but I dont think you should ask for any money. Its called pitching in and team work your a family family members do this your just a child you may suggest a small allowance as a token of appreciation from them.
