Work At
Home Mom - With Work At Home Kids
Its summer time and we know what that means. Kids will be home all
day. They will expect you to be their maid, taxi and cook on a more
demanding level. How will you ever get any work done on your Home
Business?
Well, I'm here to share with you my summer plan that I have been
doing for years even before I started my Home Business and it gives
me the free time that I need plus the kids have always enjoyed my
little work at home summer program (and they are teenagers now)
The program is simple, you make up a list of daily chores to be done
on weekdays (yes, I give them the weekend off) and post it on the
fridge. Each day they are too check off each chore done on their
list. At the end of the day I inspect the work if it is done
properly they earn "cool points". For each day they completed their
chores they earn 25 pts. Now your thinking points? What do they do
with these points. Well, they have several options of what they can
do with them. When summer begins I make a trip to the store and
stock up on candy, batteries, headphones and model cars basically
things I know they like. They can choose to buy things from my
little store using their points, like for example batteries cost 40
pts. that is my big seller. They use them for their portable CD
players. A bag of gummy bears cost 10pts. Basically you can make the
point value you want.
Also on top of those things they can also buy a day off from chores.
They can buy me cooking their favorite meal or they can buy a
massage. Even a day at the beach. Just about anything you want to
add to your list of items they can buy. Also, to make things more
interesting I give them opportunities to earn bonus points. Like
washing my car they earn 75 pts for that. You see, they are always
willing to do extra work because there is one BIG item they can buy.
But it cost a lot of points 1000 to be exact. They can buy ME. For
one whole day I become their servant I do whatever they want (within
reason of course). I do their chores, take them to the beach or
movies or even clean their room. Basically wait on them hand and
foot as if they are a king.
Now there is a catch to this. They have to allow me to work on my
Home Business without interruptions. I work two hours in the morning,
two in the afternoon and two in the evening. If for any reason I get
interrupted unnecessarily, they will get docked 10 pts for each
incident. Also, if they do not complete all their chores for the day
they will earn no pts for that day.
For those of you trying to work a Home Business or just need some
time to yourself but find it hard to do so with the kids home from
school this maybe your answer. It keeps them busy plus your house is
clean all while you sit at your computer working on your business.
This solution makes everyone happy because everyone is getting
something out of it. Works for me!
