Evil Plans

This week, we introduced a new chore/allowance/responsibility plan.  Nobody like it. 

"But, that's not fair!" said one.

"There is no way I'm doing that," said another.

"Whatever!" said the third.

And I explained, "We're not doing this to make you do more work.  We're not doing this because you should get paid what a certain task is worth.  We're not doing this to torture you.  We're doing this so that you have more leeway, so that you can have a little money to spend on things you need.  With it will come more responsibility, more ownership of the things that you will buy.  We're doing this so that you become more invested in the decisions you make.  To teach you.  Our business is not to have spoiled, surly teenagers who get what they want and never do anything, our business is to nurture and create responsible, hard-working, loving adults."

"Whatever," said one.

"Yea, right," said another.

"Well, it's obvious your parents didn't do this plan with you.  We have to do all the work, and this is not loving" murmured another.

Mwahahahahahahaha!

It's too bad I'm not a step-mother, I would make a good evil one.
