Cause Momma Cant Do It All...
We really started havin the teenagers pitch in and help around the house, after all they do live here too and make most of the mess... plus its nice to help your family. We also started shuttin their computers off from 12:00-2:00 so they can get their chores done and it gets them to do other things besides sit on the computers ALL DAY LONG. So far this chore thing is going great, I LOVE IT, its nice wakin up to a clean house.
1. Clean your room (pick up stuff off floor, make beds, put laundry away, vacuum floor)
2. If your old enough wash your laundry, hang it out on nice days
3. Pick up your stuff thats laying around the house and yard.
* The list below is split and rotated between the teenagers every week...
4. Sweep kitchen floor
5. Clean bathroom
6. Wash dinner dishes
7. Take out bathroom trashes
8. Take out kitchen trash
9. Check and clean pool
10. Vacuum living room and family room
11. Unload dishwasher
** Help us in the garden when we need it :)
This looks great. Right now my kids have to keep their rooms clean, pick up their stuff throughout the house-this is daily. Weekly they rotate. one vacuums the whole upstairs, the other the whole downstairs, and one has to collect the garbage and take it out.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE having these things off my shoulders.
Me too Beth!
