An Atlanta mother is making her kids work hard for their money.Instead of giving them an allowance,Shaketha Marion McGregor is giving them actual job titles and duties.Her innovative idea that she posted on Meta has been shared over 114,000 times.
In a selfie,the mother of three showed that she was now "hiring" for three positions—laundry supervisor,lead housekeeper and kitchen manager—for her company called "This Mom Means Business".The photo also showed that she would be holding interviews for these jobs.The applicants?Her three kids Jahkeem,13,Takeia,10, and Serinity, 6.
McGregor said the interviews went smoothly.To her surprise,the youngest was the most professional."Jahkeem almost laughed the entire time,which caused me to laugh a lot,too.It was tons of fun.His only questions were,‘How much do I get paid?How often do I get paid?And do I have to pay tax?'"
The kids are handling the responsibilities of their new job duties pretty well so far,though it has only been about a week.McGregor says they're anxiously awaiting their first paycheck.The mother said she came up with the idea after she had to replace a lot of items she lost during a tragedy."We lost a lot of things last year in a house fire and I've been really working hard to recover the things that we need,"McGregor said."And my kids continued to ask for things that they want so I figured it would be best to have them earn it."
