chores?
Vacuuming........ cleaning the kitchen floor....... cleaning windows and
mirrors....... my kids have a "work order" list - and there are all the things that need to be done on a week to week basis around here...... everything from planning dinners (whole menu, including shopping list if there are things we don't have) to taking out trash, dishes, laundry, cleaning, vacuuming, even cleaning out my car...... Their allowance is based on how m any "credits" they earn..... and credits can be used for a night at the skating rink, a fast food dinner, a movie...... So far, it's working pretty well - and my kids are nearly 10, and 'gonna be 13' "lm" wrote in message ... 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? lm |

What else? lm 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! 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! lm |

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. V |

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. Christine |
