We give the boys and girl various chores they are required to perform as part of our family. But we also let the kids work out in the yard on special projects for their own money. We want them to learn the value of work, the responsibility of money and the joy of giving to God.
The other day, they asked if they could use their own money to buy themselves happy meals. No cooking and paying for yourself? SURE!
Andrew even offered to pay for Sandy and me! We held back from ordering the double quarter pounder with cheese super sized.
It's been special to see the kids get excited about giving their money to missionaries or to buy gifts for each other on their birthdays. Now, we get to partake as the boys and girl start spending money on meals for us too!
