i had that same issue... but what did was ask my mom if she could fire the gardner so i could take his job. She was a little unsure about the whole idea but she finally gave in... if that too much work you could try washing the cars, cleaning the pool ( if you have one) , or do laundry. Good Luck...
You sound pretty kewl so i'm givin you a star :D

Oh believe me, there's ALWAYS something else to do...
...wash the dishes after dinner... mop the floors... vacuum the rest of the house... dust... take out the garbage... rake the leaves in the yard ... mow the lawn ... clean the pets... do the laundry... fold / iron the laundy ... set the table for dinner ... help cook the dinner ... water the plants ... water the lawn ... wash the car ... polish the silverware ... etc., etc., etc.
I'm sure if you just asked your mother to help you come up with a list of "chores" for you to do on a weekly basis - she'd be happy to help you do that. And this would earn you big points towards EARNING that allowance.

How often do you do these chores? Ask Mom what she expects you to do for an allowance. Remind her of what you do already. Good luck.

Why can't you clean the areas you are asked to clean. Your Mon would not ask you to do what knows you are not physically able to do. If this is a hang up then get over it. Grow up and be a man about what you are ask.

Your mom should give you some ideas for 'extra'. But otherwise, offer to fold laundry, wash the cars, clean a garage or basement or do yard work. Good luck!

ask her!
tell her you would like to earn an allowance and tell her you do a lot already and you arent sure what else there is to do to earn your allowance. try explaining to her. if she wont give you money for doing what you already do - which seems like a lot to me than maybe she can find another chore for you to do in which you can earn money.
good luck and i hope everything goes well for you!
remember, just be calm and respectful when talking to her.

How about do things that don't get done everyday such as dusting, cleaning out the fridge, or organizing closets and rooms. I really don't know, how bout ask your mom what she has in mind.

I am sure your mom can find other chores. That's what we do
