American Mum Pays Her Kids Salary For Doing House Chores (Photos) by MagazineYugo: 8:11am On Aug 19, 2019 |
An Atlanta based mum named ‘Shaketha Marion McGregor’ had begun recruiting her children to work in various house departments to enable them to earn income and build their credit score. According to McGregor, her children had been requesting for money, new phones and allowances from her, so she decided to set up a home hiring office to hire her 3 kids so they can ‘earn’ their income rather than always requesting for money like it falls from heaven. So, Instead of always giving them allowances and money whenever they need it, the Mum has introduced job titles and duties for each of them which means everyone gets paid for their work at home in their various departments and then they can purchase whatever they want with it, save and also pay taxes, lol! McGregor posted a selfie which shows she’s now hiring for the roles of “kitchen manager, lead housekeeper and laundry supervisor” in her company which she named “This Mom Means Business.”. These are the responsibilities attached to each job Role; 1- Kitchen Manager: Will make sure the kitchen stays clean at all times during business hours. Also responsible for making sure everyone washes their own dishes! 2- Lead Housekeeper: Responsible for the upkeep of the living room, hallway, and bathroom. Also is responsible for making sure everyone cleans up behind themselves. 3- Laundry Supervisor: Responsible for making sure roommates keep their clothes and shoes clean and neatly put away. Also will keep clean towels and wash clothes in the bathroom The Photo also showed that interviews will be held for the various positions available in her “This Mom Means Business” Company. She didn’t forget to inform the applicants that the company’s’ pay is “High”. The applicants are her 3 Kids named Jahkeem (13), Takeia (10), and Serinity (6). McGregor also revealed that she’d had the interview with the applicants and so far, her youngest kid has proven to be the most professional among the others as he even asked if he will be paying tax after getting his payments for house chores. She was quoted as saying; "Jahkeem pretty much laughed the entire time, which caused me to laugh a lot also. It was tons of fun. It was like never-ending bloopers," she continued; "His only questions were, 'How much do I get paid? How often do I get paid? And do I have to pay taxes?' It was hilarious." The Mum also revealed that her kids are handling their new job roles very well and are performing really good, and they are also acting professionally since they got employed at home. It’s just been a week since they began working for the company and are all expecting their first paycheck. So far, the post has gotten 203,000+ Likes, 33,000+ Comments and more than 125,000 Post shares on Facebook, and a lot of mums have begun implementing her style at their various homes. When asked when she came up with the idea, she was quoted as saying; "We lost a lot of things last year in a house fire and so I've been really working hard to recover the things that we need," She continued; "And my children continued to ask for things that they want so I figured it'll be best to have them earn it." She continued; “The kids were doing chores around the house even before they got hired, but they would bump heads about who can do what. Now that they have specified job descriptions, that won't be a problem anymore.” "They used to get an allowance but I had to stop with that for a little due to financial hardships," "I was hired as a correctional officer this past week and would be able to start paying them again as soon as next week." According to McGregor, she wishes mums can implement what she just introduced so that house chores won’t be boring to children any longer. Don't you think this should be introduced in our Nigerian Homes? ![]() ![]() Read More Here- http://www.entgist.xyz/american-mum-just-started-paying-her-kids-salary-for-house-chores/ 40 Likes 8 Shares

Much as this is plausible, it is a precedent that will breed a new form if crisis. Understandably, typical of the African setting, the children are groomed to be responsible home managers while having on-the-job training helping the parents in domestic chores. What when the table turns and she could no longer afford to implement the scheme an bad the children insist she must pay before they could continue? 56 Likes 2 Shares |

psucc: Somehow these same children grow up and decide house chores is beyond them and solely the duty of a wife. Let all of them do it, that way they all appreciate how money is earned and the effort put into keeping a home. 40 Likes 3 Shares |

Fantastic. The job titles + roles, interviews, etc, are awesome ideas. This is a great way to get kids to help around the house as well as instill adult responsibilities and discipline in them, but in a fun, enjoyable manner. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Horlubunmmy:This is wubbish parenting. ![]() If the children are entitled to eat good food for free, and also attend schools whose fees are paid by their parents, then they need to learn how to do house chores for free. It is for their own good, so that they would not be a burden to others, in future. ![]() Anyway, every mistake in America like this one, can soon become a fashion statement, in Nigeria. Any child that wants to be paid for doing house chores, had better learn how to pay his mum for making good food for him. How much is a plate of akamu and akara again, sef? ![]() 45 Likes 4 Shares |

The issue is not that they don't want to do house chores for free, but that they're asking for money and different things - which is typical of children. Instead of giving them money and buying them these requests, like other American parents do, the mother's making them work for them, which I think is VERY commendable. They'll grow up knowing that you've to work for money, wants and needs [although I'm sure their basic needs are being met]. She's also teaching them about job searches, interviews, taxes and many life skills in the process. So this isn't rubbish but great parenting! ![]() CeterisXVIII: 39 Likes 4 Shares |

theButterfly:As children, they would naturally ask for the moon and back. But as parents you need to deny their frivolous requests, and teach them how to be content with the little they have. Adopting this tactic of paying them for house chores, is going to breed a set of selfish kids who will end up putting a price tag on everything, and treating every form of assistance, as a commercial transaction. You will hear things like: "Why should I help old disabled Mrs Morris to mown her lawn for free, when my mom pays me for taking out the trash? Let Mrs Morris also pay me a fee, then I will help her out with the lawn." Na so e dey take start.. 27 Likes 2 Shares |

Kids of these days don't know how easy they have things today, I remember that year if u forget or ignore to do your own portion of house chores, the beating and punishment u will receive that day from mumcy will be unprecedented and if dad gets to know, then u will receive legendary beating and punishment ranging from not giving you night food and doing all the house chores alone ![]() 4 Likes 2 Shares |

Myopic Nigerians are already bashing her. These are necessary life skills that the kids need to survive in a country that is not a shithole She teaches them taxes because the IRS doesn't joke around Their future survival is dependent on being able to access loans for mortgage and business. You're in trouble if you have a low credit score I'm sure most of the commenters here have never done an interview See these kids are doing it and being paid for it.

A very wrong decision. Altruism remains the thin difference between family and commercial corporate entity, so once it's eliminated in the scheme of things, automatically what will be left is self-centeredness/selfishness/greediness. 14 Likes 2 Shares |
