Is it necessary to pay children when they do their homework?
Nowadays it is a controversial question. But it seems to me that the parents should not pay children for their homework. I think that children should do their work for free, because it is not categorically allowed to pay money if a child does simple daily things. He should just have a duty. To my mind, children may have some pocket money, but it should not be associated with his duties. Neither mum nor dad has additional money for their performance of family responsibilities. So family is the contribution of all members. I think it may be some kind of encouragement and moral support, but not money.
