Back by popular demand...Chore Charts!

They are not back by popularity as far as my children are concerned....but by me! Our summers are a lot easier with these charts - no nagging. It either gets done or there is a consequence. Takes a lot of pressure off of me. Here is where you can create one for your child: ChoreCharts. We have added a few things to each boys list. In addition to the normal stuff like making his bed and taking out the trash, David has to refill the fridge with drinks every night (not my wine of course!) :) and he's going to start doing his laundry once a week (we'll see how that goes). Jason now has to clean the bathroom every night and mop the floors once a week, in addition to the basics like brushing his teeth, picking up his toys, etc. These worked great last year and I am looking forward to putting them to use this week. The boys love checking things off their list and getting their reward for all their hard work at the end of the week. And I love that I am not nagging them to do things they should be thinking about doing every day.
