Kids asked for extra jobs for cash, so I created a bounty board with contracts. (OC)

So fun 🤩
I often forget to empty the noble vacuum’s cannister afterward
I love these so fun! You could even do side quests for bonus prizes$
And as a 40 year old who forgets to empty the vacuum and lint traps I love the hints and tips
This is brilliant and very well done!
This is great and all but it doesn’t actually make chores fun
$5 to clean out a dishwasher filter? That’s a steal.
A fiver to whack the hoover round the house seems generous.
This is a great idea though.
This man spent more time drawing the cards for the kid to do than it would have taken to do it himself! Big Dad energy.
Very cute! But don’t let my kids see those wages, they’ll want to come work got you!
Post this to r/antiwork and see what happens
Very cool. What’s the $10 one?
Holy shit you’re paying your kids better than like 50% of employers AND making it fun
This is such a fun idea! I’m a grown-ass man and this would get me to do chores.
Some ideas for you if you do it again. The “conditions” should be tickable boxes which is what a video game would do. You could even incorporate game elements in the real world like a coin they need to find in an area you want to be cleaned.
Sadly after posting that contract to take care of an apiarian phantom, a child was eaten by a hound of the Wild Hunt.
This is such a good idea. You seem like a great parent!
Aid the visually impaired
The windows of this dwelling have become less and less transparent over the course of time. But there is a remedy! I am looking for able bodied men and women to help fight this creeping degradation of outside view. Clean some windows! Cleaning products provided by contractor. Extra pay for outside first floor projects.
In dire need of waste removal experts
The trash bin in the kitchen is always overflowing. Help fight diseases and unsavory smells by taking out the trash and putting in a new liner (provided by contractors). Extra bonus added if you clean the trash bin in between.
Wanted: experienced bushmen
The Savannah in our back yard has grown to jungle proportions. Desperately seeking experienced bushmen who with their expertise and dexterity will be able to cut it down to regulation size. Lawn mowing equipment available at no extra cost.
such a cool idea, can tell you’re a great parent
It’s fun and games until they start unionizing. /r/antiwork
Patent and sell different varieties of these. I would like to order an entire set immediately. Thank you. <3
Just good parenting right there.
You should put these prints on Etsy
These are great! You sound like a really fun (and good) parent!
Those eyes are a little sus
Looks like you spent more time on this than you would’ve just doing the chores yourself
Wonder what the parenting subreddits’ takes would be on this. I’ve heard the opinion that household chores shouldn’t be monetized as it’s just expected to be done. Some make the distinction between routine and extra tasks.

Great idea!
When I was a kid, any house chores were required of all household members because as members of the house we learned to take care of the house we lived in and the things in it. My mother refused to pay me for contributing to housework. I remember being jealous because my friends started getting an allowance for doing chores each week. The first few weeks I remember their mom being a little flustered because they’d done so many chores and she had to pay them more than she’d expected to be spending. But by the third or fourth week they decided they didn’t want the money that much and decided to stop doing chores all together. She finally had to stop paying them to do chores, because she ended up being the only one doing house work. In the mean time, my mom started getting me simple babysitting jobs for the neighbors (just being in charge of the younger kids in the backyard while the parents were busy inside), and teaching me how to make things like macrame plant hangers(it was the 70s) to sell. That’s how I first started earning money at age 9.
I love that these cards probably took longer to make than the tasks they describe will take.
This is so cool!
This is awesome!
Amusing, but I feel like you could have done the work yourself for the amount of effort you put into these.
Thanks for all your support guys, I’m glad you all like them! I’ll be posting these designs to my instagram, @paperanddust with a free downloadable version for each if you’re interested in using any for yourself!
Also, these prices are definitely inflated. I’ve been cycling different ones on our board, alongside joke notices – the whole purpose of these is to just give the kids extra opportunities for cash in exchange for jobs I can’t be arsed doing, on occasional basis.
Very cool!!!
Neato idea. Might steal this if I ever have kids.
I absolutely love this. Brilliant.
I wish you were my parent lol
Parenting.
You’re doing it right.
I’d love if these were like templates that you can fill in/print!
Right now I just slide post-it notes to my kiddos.
Where are the goblin quests at?! I only slay goblins cause they are a menace! A menace I tell you!
You are a good parent. Your kids will remember this ’til adulthood.
What a great idea! I’m totally going to to copy you.
Not wages, hours of WiFi.
I thought the dishwasher was seducing me with an aheago face
This is a message I highly approve.
My mother 25 years ago: “vacuum the whole house before I get home or I’ll whip your ass. Don’t make me get the belt.”
I hope that style of parenting is dying out. It’s always nice to see younger generations having it better than we did.
These are really nice and very creative, and I really like the illustrations. Folks would buy them if you put together a pack of dozen or two…
omg this is cute 🙂 the arts get me and read the words
This is a great idea and you’re a pretty talented artist.
