A Business Opportunity Too Good to Pass Up
When we were in Las Vegas at my sister's house this weekend I saw that she had begun a little business venture to earn some extra cash. Just a little something where she can be her own boss . . . make her own hours . . . live the dream. And I wanted a piece of it. So yesterday we opened our own franchise here in the East Valley. Everyone got a complimentary deep clean of their bed and bathroom as a grand opening special. Now I sit back and rake in the dough. No more will we argue about getting chores done on a schedule. No sir. The chores will get done. The only question now is this: which is more valuable to my kids -- time or money? I'm happy to do all the work. They will simply learn that there's no such thing in life as a free lunch. (Of course, all my business profits will be used toward fun family activities. I'm capitalistic, not heartless, after all.)

ReplyDeleteugh mom now your giving everyone ideas!
ReplyDeleteSydney--your mom has absolutely FABULOUS ideas, and I'll tell my kids you feel the same way they do when I start my own Mom's Maid Service Business next week.
ReplyDeletei will admit i have already had to pay 6.50 or so oh well my chores were done
ReplyDeleteI am totally doing this - and will NOT use the money to fund a family adventure - that would be like ME cleaning up AND rewarding them with something special. I am NOT THAT NICE> I will reward MYSELF with something special...maybe a new top, or some great new shoes, oooo a new purse! I am excited already!!!
ReplyDeleteTammy, I've made $10 since Monday!! AND my house is clean! Fabulous. Also, at least some of my profits will be my "lunch money". We're totally going out, Sista!
