Our neighbor went for a two-week vacation last month so she hired our kids to water her plants while she was gone. She also hired them last year when she went for a vacation. She has a big vegetable garden which is plenty of fruits. She asked us to pick some of her vegetable that are ready
I told the kids that if she try to pay them that they should tell her she doesn't have to but she insisted to pay them $30. My daughter's share went to her savings and my son went to his wallet. He said that he is saving for something hehehe.
When I was a kid, I used to look for something that I could do during summer time when I am off from school. Mist of the times, I helped my Mom cook some snacks and sell it to our neighbors.

I love to watch my kids work in the garden and I love the fact that they love what they do!

Your kids are very hard working. It is never to early to teach them the value of hard work. Good job!
ReplyDeleteI used to pay kids to do things, but then they either stop doing them and want the money, or want more money than it would cost for me to hire a gardener to do the same thing. Dilemmas...,
ReplyDeleteReally great life lessons your kids are learning!
