Maintenance is one of the things everybody should take into account before they either rent or own a place to live. One may want to think about if they live here who takes care of the lawn. Depending on the landlord and what type of place that is being rented usually the landlord will take care of lawn like snow removal or cutting the grass. If one rents a house most landlords will make you take care of the lawn or snow removal. Another thing people don’t think about with the maintenance is the repairs for anything inside or outside the house and who is responsible for fixing it. Under most circumstances, if anything breaks the landlord will come to fix it and they usually cover the costs of repairs. However, when a person owns a house it is most likely a guarantee to take care of all the lawn work including cutting the grass, snow removal, fertilizing, and watering. As an owner of the house having to fix things and pay for the things that it needs or else hiring someone to come do it instead, which might be more money in the

Studies show adults who did chores as kids will be more successful in life, They will get better jobs because they will have responsibility and be able to manage their time

Typical homes and household tasks according to the book from what I can say is it has changed greatly over the years but somewhat the same.  It really depends on who's

In her essay “The Case Against Chores” Jane Smiley argues that kids should have the choice on whether they help with housework or not and announces her disapproval of the work before play method of chores. She claims that forcing kids to help with the chores teaches them “the lesson of alienated labor: not to love the work but to get it over with” (274). Smiley also avers that most chores systems result in “the child doing the dirty work and the parent getting the fun” (274). However, I disagree with her stance and consider chores to actually play an important part in a child’s education. My parents have required my siblings and I to help around the house ever since we were little, and over the years I have learned to understand the reasoning for chores and to appreciate them as a part of my education. While I might not always love the work, I have come to realize that chores serve as a significant part of childhood. As an important component of a child’s education,

As one of four children, chores should by split equally amongst the children, so that each child is not overwhelmed by duties. There will two chores assigned to me daily. On top of the two daily chores, each child shall mow when permitted once a month. When the season calls for snow, every child shall help shovel the driveway. Nikole Miller chose the chores, done by each child daily, at the beginning of each week.

A house should be a love of labor, not something that does everything for you. Although having everything done for you is nice, there is no satisfaction in it. Doing chores and keeping a clean house is fulfilling and can help children develop responsibility.

Have you ever seen something you wanted to buy, but could not afford? If you answered yes, there is a solution! Getting paid to do chores. Furthermore, I believe that kids should get paid to do chores.

In my opinion I don’t think kids should get paid to do chores around the house. When you do little things like laundry, or cleaning your room, or swiping I think you should just do it. The reason why you should just do it is because it is a favor your parents have asked you for. Help your parents out they already have to deal with you,and if you have any animals or siblings they have to deal with them. Just take my advice I have to do chores but I suck it up and don’t ask for money like some people do.

In terms of Home and Family, I have many responsibilities that extend beyond ordinary chores. From as far back as I can remember, my mother always told me, “School is your first priority.”

As a home owner, you are responsible for pretty much everything; not just a payment at the first of the month. Many new homeowners are shocked to know that there are other things that will cost associated with owning a home such as yard maintenance, malfunctions with heating and air conditioning, and other expenses that are necessary for the upkeep of the home. This is one way that home ownership can offer hands on experience for a renter that will prepare them for the “real thing”.

Kids don't need to be paid for chores. If their parents wanted to pay somebody for chores they would get a maid. Kids should do what their parents tell them. No one wants to live in a dirty home. It's difficult to have 3 kids and be the only one cleaning the house. Kids should pick up after themselves. However kids these days are very lazy.

If you don't already keep a maintenance schedule for your home, noting when different elements were repaired or otherwise modified or updated, write one out now. Rack your memory until you have a good idea of everything that's been going on throughout the property, pertaining to keeping it in good shape. This report should cover everything involved in regular home maintenance and follow-up for any major complications. Keep this paperwork handy for when the inspector visits.

Cleaning up centers is another important procedure we have. Three minutes before cleanup happens, the student that is the timer that day rings a drum and then turns over a three-minute sand timer. That child also chooses what the cleanup song

Having the freedom to decorate and modernize can be seen as a luxury when there is a steady flow of income but this takes on an entirely new meaning when the cost is greater than the available income. When a rented property incurs damages or the appliances fail, the property manager is obligated to find someone to repair it as well as cover all necessary expenses. However, a homeowner must take that responsibility on alone and the cost of maintaining a house can be unpredictable. As for decorating, some changes cannot be made in a rented property which can be frustrating or inconvenient. On the other hand, to modify a house there may be unforeseen complications such as permits or building restrictions. The permits that an owner may need depend on what type of work they are having done, and some of the permits require a General Contractor’s license according to the Minneapolis, MN permits guide (Minneapolis City Council, 1997-2011). Homeowners that have set aside money for remodeling can find themselves in financial trouble when the updates cost more than what was expected. Homeowners and contractors have been known to make mistakes on projects that cause the expense of updating to go beyond the amount set aside. This can cause a homeowner to either have a financial downfall or leave the owner with unfinished repairs because of cost.

Day in and day out, I have jobs and duties I must complete in order to maintain my behavioral expectations. After my lengthy day at school, and my tiresome soccer practice, I come home to find a bright colored sticky note, with a list of varied chores I must do in order to assist my family. The list of chores always includes, cleaning my room, which my Mom is a stickler for. Cleaning my room is a backbreaking, difficult task I must complete in order to continue to play sports and do the outdoor activities I love. Although cleaning my room is a challenging task, due to the scattered books, pile of clothes, and water bottles covering the floor, cleaning my room will establish organizational skills and persevering skills that are vital in the upbringing of my cultural identity. Even though cleaning my room is labeled on a sticky note every day, doing the dishes is
