I’ll keep this short, summer is here and my two kids 12f and 15m are in charge of making there food for when they go out. Such as soccer practice or my youngest goes to an art class that is around lunch time. So I work from home and I not have time to pack them food, we have plenty of stuff to make something or just grab some leftovers. Then they get picked up and are off.
So we are like two weeks into summer and so far both have forgotten to pack food almost everyday, so I made a new rule I will make you food but it will cost them a dollar. So there options are make there own food, pay me or go hungry at the event.
The youngest picked up on this real quick, and now is packing food for herself everyday. My oldest on the other hand isn’t. This whole week he has been paying me to make food. Today he didn’t have a dollar so I didn’t give him the food and he didn’t pack anything. So he was hungry at soccer pratice. I told my spouse what happened to day and he went off on letting the oldest starve. We got in a huge argument about how he shouldn’t need to make his own food.
He has an allowance, he gets 15 dollars a week. My youngest can do this just fine, yes I had the talk how to pack lunch. The reason for the dollars is because i have to get up to make him food when I am suppose to work and show you have to pay for convenience. I still make dinner and what not this is just for when they have to go to there club
