Chores for a 7, 9 & 12yr old? Things to do for money?
Q. Are these chores ok?
Alicia - 12
Helps at my moms stables with my 13y/o sister 'Mucking out'
Helps siblings with homework
Locks the gates at night
Gets the post from the top of the drive
And when she gets he dog she will pay vet bills, grooming fees and for any toys, bowls, brushes, collars etc. I wont make her pay for food because I order in food for my dog, so they can eat the same food.
Must tidy up after herself
Jacob- 9
Puts away the bikes, quads, dune buggies before bed
Reads his sister a bed-time story
Takes washing off the line
Entertains his sister when we are busy & Helps her
Must tidy up after himself
Puts lunches in school bags every morning
Ellen - 7
Helps her big sister when she needs help (my fiancé)
Helps my mom Shopping (We live with my parents because our house isn't ready and she loves my mom because she doesn't have a mom anymore).
Waters her flowers (In her bedroom)
Tidies up her messes
We have to put this in practise, because this is their 1st real week living with us, this is their old chore list with chores swapped (Things that they no longer need to do, with new things).
Alicia gets â¬30 a week
Jacob gets â¬20 a week
And Ellen gets â¬10 per week.
And they can get bonuses for certain things (Good tests etc.)
Is that enough? There's nothing else for them to do, especially living at my moms with all my siblings. But even in our own house there wont be much else because we have gardeners and housekeepers.....
We live in Ireland (We are from the Uk, we're from London) and we're moving back in the coming months.
And they currently are not attending school because they are grieving after the loss of their mom.
And all those chores and for everyday. Alicia only 'mucks out' every few days and Jake rarely has to take care of her sisters.
In London we had the milkman every morning, in Ireland we have to go to the shop :(
That's a reason I can't wait to be back in the Uk!

Answer
Why are you paying them in euros if you live in America ? (And if you are pretending to live in England, they use pounds there, fyi).
I don't pay my kids to do chores because I think chores are part of family life. So, yes that's definitely enough (probably too much actually). I think those chores are reasonable.
EDIT: Fine the Republic of Ireland it is. Here are some more ideas:
Alicia: do everyone's laundry, wash the dishes, make the last meal of the day
Jacob: dry the dishes, fold the laundry, take out the garbage
Ellen: take the laundry upstairs, clear the table after dinner, fetch the milk when the milkman brings it

Teens: Any suggestions for decorating my room?
Q. I have a tiny bedroom so I'm limited, my walls are pink and I hate them. I have a single bed, a two-door wardrobe, a study desk, a standard lamp and a chest of drawers with a standing mirror beside them and built in shelving. My furniture doesn't match and they're really old (I've had the drawers and wardrobe for 11 years) and they're covered in drawings from when I was a kid. I want to cover my walls with posters and stuff but I want a cute duvet cover, I think I want my walls to be white and I want white floorboards but the rest I don't know. I know I want the furniture to be mainly white but that's all I know. & I want to fill my shelves with books.
Does anyone know any websites to get cute furniture (that deliver in the UK and Ireland), and any suggestions?
I love:
-Supernatural and Harry Potter
-Tom Felton and Emma Watson
-Books
-Perks of being a wallflower
-The colours pink and white
I need to change everything, from lamps and lampshades to furniture to rugs and duvet covers and decoration. Everything! & I'm 14 but I don't want it to look childish

Okay, what if you did like a lime green for your wall (the color of the book for The Perks) and then you did your favorite quote from the book on the wall. I think that would be so awesome. Instead of having the regular ones like "Live Laugh Love," create your own and make it a quote from the book. I think that'd be awesome.
I guess you could also fill your shelves with books. But, or even if you didn't paint your walls lime green, white would be cool still too but I like the idea of the quote on the wall. That would be awesome (:
