Whenever I babysit my niece, who is seven, she always wants to help me "do jobs" whether I am cleaning or not. After a few times of her helping me out, I finally told her that I would start paying her. Oh, how her eyes lit up! One day she cleaned my whole kitchen all for a BUCK! Now this is a maid service that I can handle. Today, she helped me organize our game cupboard, empty garbages, and clean the kitchen again. I forgot to pay her, but she will at least be getting a buck and a quarter. She claims that she will take a quarter for her services, but I insist at least paying her a dollar. I may just start having her come on a regular basis. I love having my own personal maid!
I've tried bribing my own kids to get them to clean, but they would rather sit in their own filth for a month before even thinking about cleaning. I don't know what it is, but it's always easier for kids to clean up messes at other peoples houses than their own.

i bribe my kids. an ice cream cone for 1/2 hour of playing with my hair. i love it!
That is seriously my dream come true. Ohhh why don't I have someone that will clean my house for a dollar. Oli wants to clean for a dime but, I think him helping me is harder than me doing it by myself.
