Well last night what kept me up was, how much I allowance I will pay my children when I have them! Should they even get an allowance, I mean they get paid by food and everything else I buy to support them, should doing some chores be just something they should have to do?! But then maybe giving them some money to pay them for the work they have done may also be a good option, teach them how to be responsible with their money, and to save it for things that they want instead on spending it all on candy or something! So I pretty much decided that they would get payment for the work they have done, but how much should they get? After thinking for a bit I decided that however old they are is how much they would get per day(a five year old gets five dollars per day), and as they grew older their chores would also increase. So then I decided that they would get a raise at the end of every month instead of every year. This is where it gets tricky, I don’t know about you, but I still don’t know my multiplication!! So I said figured out that it has to be like 8 cents a month, but couldn’t remember what 8x12 is, so I guess I’ll just do 8 cents a month and on the 12th month they get a little bigger raise to meet the difference! Anyways, ya that’s the sort of thing that keeps me awake at night for hours on end! Like this if you want me to keep writing about my nightly thoughts!! -Houston Written on my phone, please excuse my typos!
