What chore schedule works in your family?

Q. We have a 11 year old and a 151/2 year old (whom does have a job 16 hours a week at a restaraunt). Have tried different things for chores, but does not last. I know everything is about consistancy. They have only 2 things that are there expected of them. School first and there own bedrooms, which are usually a disaster. Upon the usual-house, yard, dog, cat, we are also putting on an addition and remodeling to our 55yr. old home, key word WE meaning doing all ourself. Point being, we need to regain control of this issue with our kids, right now! Hello- more house=more care. I can not keep up now, and feel there is no reason they should not be helping daily. My new thought is to either assign or let them pick a room, and have to keep it clean for the week, then switch each week. At this point, I need serious feedback from others. So, chores, allowance and results of a non-cooperative child, is appreciated Respectful advice/ideas is what this overwhelmed mom needs. GOOD DAY!

A. I agree their job should be keeping their room clean. After all, it's *your* house and you are letting them live there--the least they could do is keep their rooms clean!

What I would do is tell them that any time you (or dad) finds something on the floor in their room it's going in the trash. Also, any time you find trash on the floor, under their bed, etc. they owe you 50 cents. For example, they leave candy wrappers or other trash in their room, it's 50 cents per piece of trash you find.

I've known parents who've done this (and my parents did it with me also) and it works every time. They learn quick if there are consequences like these. No kid likes to hand over money and they sure as heck don't like to see their belongings in the trash. A couple times of this and their rooms will probably be cleaner then mom and dads! Good luck :-)


I am looking for a job in Australia. How much salary should I ask to run a three children family?
Q. Home rent, school fees, utility bills, monthly supplies, petrol (all per month)

How are taxes calculated in Australia. Are the taxes paid from the salary automatically.
I am a Post graduate Acoustic engineer with 5 years experience in Architectural and Industrial Acoustic Consultancy in the Middleast.

My family comprises of my wife and three children aged 10, 7 and 4.

What would be the rent of a three bedroom house, School fees per child, Average Petrol expenses for 50Kms per day, Utility bills (water, electricity, parking), food & supplies expense...etc
I am particularly interested in Brisbane. What is the typical rent for a three bedroom apartment/house in Brisbane.

A. It depends on your qualifications and profession as to what you can ask for in terms of salary. It also depends on what state you want to live in. For example, Sydney has a higher cost of living (rent, food, petrol) than Brisbane, however, their average pay is more. For people living permanently in Australia, if your kids go to a public school, they are essentially "free" - you'll have to pay for books, uniform, excursions etc. I'm not sure if you're not a permanent resident that you'll get this or not. Petrol depends on where you live. Right now it's between $1.12 and $1.26 per litre for Sydney north (it fluctuates throughout the week). Rent for Sydney (for 4 bedroom) varies depending on the area. Go to a real-estate website in Australia and look up the rental section to get an idea of what you get in what area. Electricity bills depend on how much you use too. Usually a few hundred a quarter for electricity (if you don't have an airconditioner and lots or heaters running all the time). Phone depends on usage + line rental. Maybe if you want to compare countries, a local call at a pay phone is 50 cents flatrate. Water bills may be included in your rent if you live in an apartment.

You may find some useful information about Australia and its people at the Australian Bureau of Statistics (http://www.abs.gov.au/).

Average weekly earnings from the site can be found here : (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/e8ae5488b598839cca25682000131612/ba84bbb55b643021ca2568a90013934e!OpenDocument)
The average weekly earnings is a bit over $1000 per week (before tax).
And Employee earnings here: (http://www.abs.gov.au/ausstats/abs@.nsf/7d12b0f6763c78caca257061001cc588/27641437d6780d1fca2568a9001393df!OpenDocument)

If you work for someone, taxes are usually taken out of your pay already/automatically. For the average individual, it's roughly 30% of your pay. If you're on a higher tax bracket, money earned above a threshold will be taxed more (I think the highest bracket is roughly 50% tax).

Happy Job Hunting!
