I think that one of the potential downsides of having your kids work for you is possible tension between employer and employee over the task assigned, but your idea completely gets around that problem by giving your kids a choice as to what they want to do to make some money. I may have to employ something like this one day with my own (not yet born) children. Thanks for the input. @ Marlene – That is a great idea.

And yeah, most of the items are jobs I detest doing (scrubbing the kitchen cabinets, cleaning baseboards etc). It's a win-win situtation, they earn money and I get things done around the house. As well as teaching them that "money doesn't grow on trees".
