2 dd and 2 friends asked for a treat. I said sure clean up. After a min- one kid was complaining her arm hurt (she recently broke it) and other 2 just got lazy and walked away. One dd worked till the end and got it cleaned up. I gave the 3 kids a winky Lolly and other dd a ring pop. Good idea or mean?

Did the kids think you were being mean?

If no one is complaining, then it's all good.

(Personally, I prefer the winky pops.)

I think I am really mean then! I wouldn't have given anything to the three that didn't really clean up.

I agree. If they were my children they wouldn’t have gotten anything. But I don’t feel like teaching a lesson to the neighbors kids. And in their defense the did clean up a little

I hear that- you don't need to be mechanech other kids. But.... I would like to set a precedent in my house- for MY kids to see. To earn something you actually have to earn it!

My kiddies are super little so don't know if same...but am always worried about jealousy so I wouldn't have rewarded just one. I probably would have said "thank you X for helping, everyone can have a lolly. If everyone pitches in a bit, everyone can have ring pops". And just make them pick up some toys or something

But for sure not everyone would agree
In any case, you did give everyone something!
