Magnetic Chore Buttons

I have decided that my kids need chores. They've been asking for a way to make money and with my busy schedule, I could definitely use the extra help. Besides, I keep finding myself surrounded by kids that need just a little money for this or that.

I took magnetic paper and printed off various chores and how much I am willing to pay for each chore. Then I cut them all into little squares and placed them on the freezer door.

I figured within a week, my house would be spic and span and the kids would feel proud of their accomplishments with their little pockets bulging. Okay, not bulging, but at least not empty.

This is a great idea in concept. And I promise to show pics and how I made the chores magnets but I don't want to influence your vote.

That's right, your vote. I. Need. You.

My kids have decided that I priced the jobs too low. Now, from a mom's point of view, I am thinking if I raise the prices to their standards, I am also going to charge them room and board and for meals.

I am sure the price of chores is a battle as old as dirt but this is the first time it's been battled in my family. And I want to be fair. I really do. But I need some unbiased opinions to help me out. Please take a minute and click on my Chores Survey page at the top and help a poor mom out. Feel free to add any comments or put your own price in there.
