There are a lot of apps on the market helping families manage chores, teaching kids about finances, and providing aid to household management, but none are doing them all. Hire and Fire your Kids is the first gamified parenting app that provides an all-in-one solution. Using the three key behavioral concepts of recognize, reward, and consequence, we are helping parents raise kids who are accountable, respectful, and financially responsible.
Hire and Fire your Kids means exactly what the name insinuates - hire your kids for chores around the house (reward) and fire them (consequence) if they don't meet family expectations. But HFK is so much more. We were created on the premise of recognition, reward and consequence. We strive to help families work together in achieving household goals, provide consistent recognition & feedback to our kids in a consistent, constructive way, and promote regular family face-time (not the digital kind).
Download Hire and Fire your Kids from Google Play, Amazon or the App Store. You can also set up your profile and play on our web app app.HireandFireyourKids.com. A family account is created using any of the social logins or register your family account manually.
You don't need one, just log back into the app using the same social login button. Simply click Facebook, Gmail or Apple to log you back in and it will take you right in to play. Be sure to use the "keep me logged in" ON.
Once you purchase full access to the HFK app you can log back into the app using the same Username and Passphrase that registered your family account OR use the same social login button if you signed up that way (click Facebook, Gmail or Apple to log back in) and it will take you right in to play.

Oops, that can happen.. Best to head over to Cashout and reduce that kid's 'saved to date' account by the job amount.
Virtually, yes! On payday the app moves any earnings the kid made that pay period automatically from earned to paid and these payday payments sit in the saved to date/available to redeem for when you're ready to cashout or select a gift card.
