Whenever Trevor or I see that the girls: left the lights on downstairs, or the heater on, or left food wrappers laying around, or food, or crap they were suppose to put away, we collect $1 from them. I put the money in an envelope labeled with their name and write down the date, the amount collected, and why we collected it. Over the past seven months we have collect quite a bit of money, around $20 from each of them.
The other day I collected $7 from Ariana and she was mad because I was taking her last $7. I told her she could earn back the money by doing extra jobs around the house. "Like what," she asked. I told her she could vacuum, clean up the living room extra nice, fold clothes that weren't hers, stuff like that.
Today after I picked her up from dance she told me she did some extra stuff around the house. She took all the dirty clothes downstairs. "That was a hard job," she said, " because Julia's laundry basket was so full it was over flowing." And she let me know she put some of Julia's clothes away and saw that Julia had a couple sweaters on the ground in her closet. She said she wasn't trying to get Julia in trouble but thought I should know. I said that maybe the sweaters fell. Ariana didn't think so because they weren't where the other sweaters were but decided maybe that could be the case. She also told me that she cleaned up the living a little bit and did all of her normal jobs. I told her I would talk to dad and see what we were going to give her.
