So tonight the hubs gives the boys their allowance for helping around the house. Each is asked to do various “chores” ( I use this term lightly) and in exchange they earn money for their piggy banks.

Hubs: “Here you go boys. Good job helping Mommy and Daddy around the house this week.”

Both boys scoop up their money (change mostly-they love the sound it makes when it hits the bottom of the ceramic piggy banks. Lucky for us, dollars don’t make any noise going in.)

Me: (Jokingly) “Wow Dad. I worked hard this week too. Where is my allowance?”

SM: (Without hesitation) “Mom, you don’t need an allowance. You get money from the bank all the time.”

Thanks for having my back son…… That’s exactly what I needed your Dad to hear.
