My rules:

work around the house is the kids duty and contribution to the family therefore NO pay.

Kids do dishes, laundry, clean kitchen, mow lawn. For these I expect them to do it because I tell them to do it & for them to pull their own weight. I've paid them for car washes, when they are young, less than 13yrs old.

Cash is earned from a job. My son is cutting lawns in the neighborhood for 4 houses. He started last summer and earned $1000+ last summer.

I've told aunts, uncles, and grandparents that any cash they give the kids will be returned. My son is so proud that he bought his own PS4 last year. I've bought him a couple games as a reward for working. This has started to make his older sister jealous now she plans to get a summer job. She's 16.
