Thanks for the kudos, Christie! Chores definitely make kids more well-rounded!

Wow! I hope you had the opportunity to earn allowance with other chores.

I’m curious, how would you say not being “allowed to mow the lawn as a child” shaped you?

I wasn’t allowed to mow the lawn as a child, but my brother was allowed and received an allowance for it! Very unfair. I much prefer your method 🙂

It’s so important to make sure your kids are well rounded and house so many skills and experiences within them.
So easy to forget this in today’s age when things are so instant and the process of how things are achieved is often forgotten.

Cudos for a legendary mum!
