Do you think kids and teenagers should get allowance for chores they do around the house?

No sir, they should not feel entitled to getting paid to do what is expected of any people that live in the same household. Everyone chips in and helps. A mother sure isn't compensated for doing the dirtiest chores of anyone else, is she? If common chores were laid out on a piece of paper and numbered from 1 to 100, you could bet your socks that it's not the children doing those things that are the dirtiest and most labor intensive. Why should kids get money for washing one of their own dirty dishes or making their own stinking bed?

Yes... but only for SPECIAL chores / work outside the "norm".

When I was a kid / teenager - certain chores were just considered part of "paying the rent" / being part of the household and didn't earn me a penny - keeping my room clean (vacuuming, dusting, picking up clothes, dumping trash), doing family dishes after dinner, taking all clothes down to the laundry, vacuuming, taking out the trash, etc.

There were OTHER chores that did pay a small amount of money... stripping and waxing floors, washing exterior windows, helping Dad repair cars, mowing the lawn, etc... usually at 25 to 50 cents per HOUR (and if the job was an hour in Dad's mind... don't try to stretch it to two!!) .

Dad NEVER permitted an "allowance" because he called it "welfare"... you get paid ONLY for work, and you get paid more for HARD work !!

Yes as long as they're not regularly allowed money for the things they randomly want. They'll learn to earn what they receive, be responsible with it, and save it for something they want. They should be given allowance for the extra chores they do, not for cleaning their rooms or cleaning up after their own messes... or a simple taking out of the trash. They need to put in the effort.

Yes, but for a decent amount of chores. I don't think a 10 year old should get $15 a week for only cleaning there room. Maybe something like clean room, do homework, feed pets, and other responsibilities that will help him/her feel more grown up.

yes it's only fair and only right! it might be a privilege but it's still right to do so because of the simple facts they won't need that chump change when they start working those big jobs!

Mom: Y u no provide?

Kid: Mom, I'm 10.

Mom: Proviiiide! *throws son*

Teaches them how one is given money for jobs done and how to manage that money.

Not necessarily.

Yes, and I already do!
