We tried it. They gave up on their jobs after 3 days and they weren't hard jobs. Now they will get money if they do a specific task. For example Kam gets money for cleaning up the dog poo of the back yard. Although I did it today. Ash will get money if he helps me do the housework, like today he took over from me mopping the floors and did the rest. Lachlan just refuses to do anything so gets no money.

Trav I like your idea about school recognition and readers. Although Ash is flying through reading levels at the moment LOL

They also automatically get $10 a fortnight into their own bank accounts just for being them. So we're saving for them for their future.
