Chores!!! Why does that seem to be such an awful word? Probably because it means work not play. I am awful with getting my kids to do chores. I will have them do them for a week or so then, I forget to remind them or life gets busy or I just get tired of fighting with them to do it. I don't really believe in paying for chores with money, because I think it is their part of being part of the family to help out.
I would love to hear some ideas of how you help influence your children to do chores in your home. So please post a comment! Here are some fun chore charts and such I have found:
I think this is a pretty cute way to have the kids pick their chores. I think sometimes they get board of having the same chore over & over again. Check this out at Whatever Dee Dee Wants. She has
a tutorial & free printouts.
This is a cute way to keep track. I like the to do and the done columns. I Found this at this
link.
I also think it would be fun to have a little award system. Like after accomplishing their chores for a week they get to pick a fun activity or something.
I also want to come up with some cards that explain each job completely so they can do it right, and I'm not having to redo it :)
So, please share your ideas! Hope all of you wonderful moms out their had a fabulous Mother's Day!!
