Chores

Every Saturday we have chores drama. My kids have done the same chores the entire time we've lived in this house, and they still complain about it (and each other) every weekend.

I'll spare you the details of the drama.

In hopes of making sure everyone knows what I mean when I say "It's your week to clean the bathroom," I made this chart today. I've been meaning to do it for a long time. It is for cleaning the bathroom, a job Andrew and Ashley share. Hence, the drama. The white squares are for my signature.

I liked the idea so much, I went ahead and made this one for our bedrooms. Again there's a spot for my signature (or Kevin's).

I'll have to report back on whether or not it actually works.

  1. Okay, I've been trying to figure out how to update our chore chart (a poorly-made job wheel) and I just might have to borrow your ideas. Maybe I'll make a sassy tutorial!

  2. I just read over this and I can't figure out why I made the two charts differently. Oh well.

  3. I like your chart! I've tried a few different things and am very inconsistent. I want to hear how it goes and maybe I'll have to copy. :)

  4. Thanks Missy - I used a different system for Andrew and Ashley when they were young and I still use it for Emma. But I think it's important to update and revamp things. It was WAY over due for A & A.
