Agreed, chores are work, work gets you pay, on one hand a parent will take away any allownace because they're child isn't doing chores, so how is it fair not to give them financial gain for doing the work, if they messed up elsewhere, like they outrun their curfew, they get punished in a different way for that one, like having to stay in the next night for example.
If kids learn that they won't get paid/rewarded for work in younger years, why would anyone expect them to go get a job as there's no reward in working for it ? it's a simple life skill.
As for wa wa wa you sent me to a program without finding out i was about to be dehydrated, starved for being unable to build a fire, jumped on by 20 fat guys, yep, I'd be pretty pissed off too....
it'd be more wa wa wa why did you bring me into this world if you couldn't take the fight that parenting brings with it
