Im just wondering if anyone has done or does this.

My little girl is 5 in June, and i think its time she knew that money, although id love it to, does not grow on trees.
She said she would help do housework to "earn" some money.
So i agreed.

In the last week, she has helped take plates to the kitchen every night, and brings her dirty washing down every morning, and her other job is to help feed the dog.
She loves it...

And its nice to have some time with just me and her

I give her 50p a day, as it comes out of the penny pot. (that way, it isnt missed)
I think its a bit stingy, but i also think that she learns that she has to work towards buying something...im torn.

Is 50p enough???

I think 50p is plenty, i mean she is only 4.. What could she be buying! haha
I do the same kind of thing as you, i give the girls pocket money at the end of the week if they keep their bedrooms tidy during the week! I give them about 3 euro each. They are 5 and 8.. Thay do be delighted with that.. All they buy is ice-cream off the ice-cream van when it comes around.

I think it's a great idea and 50p a day is very generous!

My LO is 7 this week and he still gets £1 a week! So I think I'm the stingy one..?!

He does jobs around the house.. he loves it too, and gets a feeling of responsibility. We give him £1 on a saturday and he puts in in his money box. Then when we go shopping, he will sometimes raid it and buy himself a small toy.

He gets money randomly from his generous grandparents and puts that in too so he's not too hard-done-by!

I think 50c is perfectly fine for her age. Even less would be fine really, at such a young age. They can buy themselves little treaties or earn a few bucks over the course of a few weeks and be able to go to the euro shop or whatever and buy themselves a toy. In practice it is a brilliant thing.

The only thing I would comment is different in my situation is that I don't pay my son (7 years) to do the things that I deem his responsibilities and chores around the house. He sets the table for us for dinner each night, squashes the recycling bottles and bins them, and throws bread bits out for the birds, and just a couple other very little things. I think it's important for everyone in the house to know that there's some things they do for the sake of working together as a team to keep the household running and isn't subject to pay. However, I do think up and give him *extra* jobs to do to earn for money, but they're not a daily thing really. More like once or twice a week, but then I'll give him like a euro each time, so he has a couple bucks by week's end. I think that's plenty for his age.

I think certain jobs are ok to be rewarded with money but not all tbh, As when they get older they will expect money for it still .

Tbh i wouldn't pay a child to do these as i think these are basic things ANY child should do without being rewarded..(of course feeding an animal you would be supervising).
Feed an animal
Tidy bedroom
Take own plate in kitchen
Put washing in basket or downstairs

But things like washing up, hoovering, cleaning/polishing then ok yes reward. (obv depends on age for doing these) .

50p a day sounds fine to me though.

Josh doesn't even get spending money of any sorts of me as i buy him enough as it is, But his uncle (family friend) gives him £2 twice a week which he buys his own gogos magazine he's collecting.

I'll be starting him on spending money when he leaves nursery & starts at " big school ".

50p a days allot! lol.

My mum lives with my little sis .. shes 17 years old and ive never lived with her .. she doesn't lift a finger, she does Nothing! not even clear up her own mess.
She gets everything she wants bought for her tho

I didn't want mine to be like that,
When they're young they're so keen to help out bless them,

Mine all have certain Jobs (except Jamie lol)

They all make their own beds, fold their own clothes, Pack their own school bags,
They take it in turns to wash up,
They dust the conservatory and my 6 year old can hover.

I really encourage team work between them to help out around the house.

They all get £1 a week for helping their mum

You think you are mean, I think overly generous! My son gets 5p for doing jobs and he does the things you mention as normal, he doesnt get money for them.
Things he does get money for are 'extras' like helping putting the dishes away out the dishwasher, cleaning the car, helping sort out the washing (I give him the socks to pair up!) sweeping the floors (laminate) mopping the kitchen floor (he doesnt manage to do it 'properly' but he likes doing it and asks all the time so I let him anyway!)
he gets 5p for each thing and usually he gets 50p a week total. He is saving up at the moment to buy a Wii apparently!!!! He is six in June.
He does sometimes get £1 from his great grandma, he keeps hold of them so that when we go to car boot sales he can take his collecting of pound coins and look for star wars figures in their boxes which is his latest thing. Last Sunday we went and he found one and took upon himself to start haggling with the bloke on the stall without any help at all, the guys face was a picture when my son said "Its a bit too much because the box has been opened" ROFL!!! Child has been following me and OH round boot sales for too long!

OMG! Hahahahaha...that's hilarious!!! LOL

My kids get paid pocket money

jake washes up every night
katie puts all the clean clothes away

My step daughter (5) stays with us every weekend and she has a star chart with the things she has to do on it. She gets a star for every item completed. Once she has 3 stars for one thing she gets a gold stamp. Once she has 3 gold stamps she can choose
1) Mc Donnalds for dinner (she always asks and we refuse as would rather her eat a home cooked meal)
2) a visit to the ball pool
3) £3 to spend in a shop

It does take her a month of doing over 50% of her items to gather enough for the reward but she does nothing at home and is forever in trouble so it can be hard to get her to do anything.
