If you do chores to you get an allowence??

Does anybody else have chorse they have to do everyday around the house and yard, and if you do, do you get an allowence??

I have chores that I have to do I have full care of our animals 3cats 2dogs and five horses I also mow the lawn help stack hay, and when my parents aren't home rake care of my 7yr old brother. Which my parebts aren't home alot because my dad is a carpenter, and my mom is a nursing student and also has a part time job at lifetime assistance. I do not get an allowence. And when I want to get something I have to pay for but the only problem is I have no money .


I was just curious if anybody has designated shores aor if they get an allowence.

I take care of all pets.
2 dogs
3 cats
2 hermit crabs (2 spererate tanks)
3 turtles(3 seperate tanks)
2 horses

Those include cleaning, feeding, watering, walking, washing dog 1x a week etc.


And I set the table, clear the table, unload the dishwasher, clean 2 bathrooms, keep computer desk clean, clean my room, dust my room, etc.

I get no allowance.My parents pay for the board, feed, shavings, wormer, and some shows for my 2 horses.
I have to pay for any tack I want,blankets, sheets, halters, anything not necessary.I also have to pay for some shows and more classes if I want to do them.

My grandma pays me $60 a month for cleaning my great-grandma's house 1x a week.That includes dusting, vacuuming etc.

I get an allowance... it's just enough to buy my school dinner every day and get me to and from school, with just a little to spare.

I do odd chores, put the washing out, do the washing up, drying, etc..

I work HARD all week and get $5 for it, plus extra money if I help dad with treework, etc. I think it's fair, because I don't buy my own food, clothes, etc.

I get an allowance no matter what (slowly being weaned off it now as I am working), but I am often required to do chorses. I generally do the dishwasher, completely clean the family room, walk the dog (not really a chore), and clean the kitchen at night before bed.

But if I do "other" chores, such as yardwork or more difficult non-everyday tasks, then I get payed 6$ an hour. Mowing the lawn, front and back, gets me 7$, which I think is pathetic as it is really hard work.

I don't get an allowence. I take care of my parent's dogs, keep one bathroom clean, either cook or clean up after dinner 2-3 times/week, weed once a week in summer, vacuum, groom dog, other odd chores and train my sister's horse at least twice a week. So, not a ton of chores. In return, I get board for my horse, shoes, vet care, etc. I think I've got a pretty good deal ^.^

I take care of the house... do the dishes, washing, clean the rest of the house, the yard, care for the animals (2 cats, 2 dogs, 1 messy bird, 1 rabbit... my mom feeds the chooks and ducks) and then I cook dinner(unless I go on strike for a night and get someone else to do it)
I don't have an allocated allowance.
I just take whatever my mom gives/buys me as a thank you for doing it all for her.
