257 sats \ 16 replies \ @carlosfandango 9 Oct 2023 \ on: What do you feel about parents paying their children sats to do housework? bitcoin
There are essential and appointed chores (unpayed); clearing away plates and cutlery, tidying their room, sorting recycling, keeping their bikes clean etc.
Then there are supplemental (and therefore payed); mowing the lawn, washing the car, cleaning the chimney and working the spinning Jenny.
Sats for preference but sometimes they want the dirty fiat for those instant purchases… I’m not going to restrict them to only one form of currency as I am not the government.
I’m tired so apologies; paid NOT ‘payed’

It's probably the right spelling for the 18th century.

With that bombshell, we're going to have to revise our age guesstimate of Siggy!
If it's any consolation - although I wasn't sent up a chimney as a child (they tried, I was too big) I'm old enough to know what a Spinning Jenny was:
No, it's not in my man cave - I threw it out when my exercise bike arrived!

We called it a spinning wheel during my teen years in the 1890s.

I am the seventh son of the 47th Siggy.

Everyday a school day…. with the exception of the children who are attending the factory, working towards their evening meal.

‘Everyday is eur scozzy day. Except t' kids whoa are daahn t' factory wukkin for thea teea’

This is such a clear distinction and brings clarity to my mind. I can also get behind your reasoning. Thanks for sharing
