This document proposes a new allowance system called "B" Responsible that aims to teach children responsibility. It works as follows: - Children must complete 80% of their chores to begin receiving allowance. The amount received is based on completing the remaining 20% of chores. - Between 70-80% completion, there is no money or penalty; just average performance. Below 70% results in lost privileges. - Excelling and completing 100% of chores earns a 15% bonus for the week. - Parents determine completion each night and their decision is final. The system aims to motivate children through both rewards and consequences tied to their level of responsibility in completing chores.

2. Allowance – The Good Stuff
Helps busy parents
and teaches skills Emphasizes continuous Teaches about money,
(how to do laundry, effort and contributing to earning, saving, spending,
wash dishes, take the family community what things cost, and the
care of the pets, etc.) need to make choices.

3. Allowance – The Bad Stuff
No penalty (aside from no Even worse – potentially Doesn’t account for the
$$) for not contributing. In makes kids unwilling to fact that all chores are
the real world, they call this help others unless they not created equal. “Feed
being fired. get something in return the cat” is more
important than “dust the
table.”

“B” Responsible!

5. “B” Responsible!
• “B”, like the school grade - allowance only begins after you complete
80% of the chores.
• Allowance paid is based on how well you do in the last 20%
• Example – if you do 93% of your chores, you’ll receive 65% of
your allowance ((93-80)*5) = % payout.
• Between 70-80%, no money, no penalty. You’re just average. I hope
you can live with yourself 
• Below 70%, you fail, and start losing privileges you thought you were
entitled to. Like staying up past 8:00pm or ice cream.
• B is also for BONUS! = We reward excellent performance! Be a 100%
contributor to the family and receive a 15% bonus reward that week!
The Fine Print – Determination of whether you completed your work each day is made by Mommy or Daddy by 9pm each day and their decision is final. If
you need to be asked to do your chores, you only get ½ credit. If Mommy and Daddy fail to properly check on a given day, it will be assumed that you did
your job. Be happy you pulled one over on them. If we take you on a nice vacation, you get no allowance that week. Tough it out. All rights reserved.
Batteries not included. Don’t try this at home – I am a professional. Objects in the mirror are larger than they appear. Anyone who asks why Mommy and
Daddy have no chores will fail immediately. Do not pass go, do not collect any allowance.
