Should Children Get Paid For Chores?
There is a disagreement among people about whether or not children should get paid for doing chores. Personally, I believe that children shouldn’t be getting paid for chores. Why should kids get paid to do chores when parents aren’t? It doesn’t make sense if you think about it. I mean, an allowance is okay, but having to pay your children just to keep their house clean isn’t a good idea. Anyways, I’ll be trying to prove why children getting paid for chores is a bad idea.
My first point is that chores aren’t like a paying job, and should be done regardless of a reward. You can’t put a price tag on keeping the house clean.

My third point is that parents aren’t getting paid to do chores.
If parents aren’t getting paid to keep the house clean, then children shouldn’t get paid.
Even if they’re not getting paid to be doing chores, there’s still many ways to earn money. Like an allowance or helping out neighbors. My final reason is that parents would be wasting money to pay children. It would make more sense to hire a maid, just clean the house themselves, or just tell their kids to keep it clean. Parents shouldn’t have to bribe their kids into making their beds.
To be honest, I can see why children think they should be getting paid to do chores. Kids don’t have a very good understanding of employment. They probably think that their parents just do stuff in an office and get paid for it. I will agree on the fact that they can learn a valuable lesson from doing chores and getting paid for them. For example: learning how to handle money, appreciating what they buy, and learning how to handle their time.
To sum up, paying children to do chores is a bad idea. An allowance is fine,
