What do you have your teenager doing this summer??

My 3 yr old even has her own chores. She brings her dirty clothes to utility room and her empty juice cup to the kitchen in the morning. If she doesn't then no T.V.
The 8,10,12 yr old all have a small list to do. The clothes get washed, dried, folded and put up. House gets swept, they dust stairs. They are on the side of us pulling weeds in flower beds, water flowers. The also help in the garden. They help with cleaning the boat, vehicles, etc. Sweep the shop, put up tools. They don't get an allowance, that is free money, we call it commission. They earn $ by completing these chores. We go eat out they all can have water and order off the kids menu. They want any more than that they have to pay for it themselves. Sounds bad, but hey I am proud when my 12 yr old has enough money to go to a restaurant and buy his own ribeye with all trimmings. This happened the first time last friday night. I take the approach like Major Payne, they may not like me but they will respect me.
