Just wondering what everyone's kids do, and at what ages. So far my
kids' chores are pretty minimal. Set/clear the table, take out the
trash, clean their rooms, put away the laundry.... It's springtime
and
I'm ready to put them to work washing cars and weeding. What else?

If you do a google search, a few years ago I had a detailed chore list
and
also little subtitles that they used for details on 3 by 5 notecards.
We
did
the chore wheel, the drawing chores and for fun I put "read a book" or
"play
outside" or "enjoy an extra ten minutes of television" for good
measure.
Hey,
gotta have some fun eh?
look under for the search. Hey, spammers are
going
to
see the hyperlink and go nuts. It is not my email addy anymore. Sorry
to
whomever it is.
Take care!

Wow V. If children learn what they live, I'm afraid my children are
going to grow up to be very disorganized. I couldn't possibly do the
chore thing like that, I wish I could.

However, I'm proud to report that my 8-year-old has a new cho
cleaning the toilets. If he can't be bothered to either lift the seat
or AIM, then he can clean up the mess he leaves behind. And he thought
I was kidding. Hah!

LOL..that is my 10 y/os job. Mister seat scrubber. It sure has deterred
not
aiming.
My daughter is the under the bed crammer. The last time I had to wash her
dust
ruffle I almost had a heart attack. Oh well. I choose my battles and that
is
one of them. If your room stinks, I am coming in and it won't be pretty.
They
clean it now!
The mominator is coming and she'll be back!
Ahhh.

LOL, ya I'm the same way, in my house, if you don't pick up your toys the
vacuum gets it. Woo wee you should see them fly when it's time to tidy up.
Now that it's summer, here comes the sand and you should see my downstairs
bathroom. I looked at it this morning and said "eek I need to clean it" and
my son Josh says "Oooo can I scrub the toilet?" I just about fell over.
