At least, that's my experience with my boys (and husband, too!). The one glitch I have with chore charts is with Killer -- if I merely write down "hoover school room", he will argue till the cows come home that he's not ALSO supposed to pick up the toys, books, and large pieces of rubbish on the floor first, so that he CAN hoover!Kat Patrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14831608863877232985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169766314316215080.post-63295236032388958442013-01-21T03:22:40.757+00:002013-01-21T03:22:40.757+00:00I love chore charts! At least I do now ;)
About a...I love chore charts! At least I do now ;) <br />About a month ago, after I pulled my last batch of hair out, I knew things had to change. I have 2 children at home and a husband ( I am the one who goes out into this world and he stays home, but this just recently happened). So, now that I am no longer the one who oversees daily day to day, things have not been going as smoothly when I was. So, I created a chart for myself, children, and yes! My husband too lol! I never thought I would be a chart type person, my day planned out and all, but it has really helped things stay on task. My husband was not ready for such chaos. He was used to his routine. So, that is what a chore chart has given to him, more of a routine. We have our days he helps with school, days where I do, and of course the chores. Example, Monday I help the kids with their Time4Learning lessons and their work books, etc, but on Tuesdays and Fridays my husband does the lessons, while I am not home. On wed. that is a day off and Thursdays are co-op. Every morning my kids have their chore that is assigned on that day and they go look and do it before breakfast. Then after they eat they get 1 hour before studies start. Anyways, the point I am trying to get across is that charts are very helpful for us too. <br /><br />~> Sorry so long of a post, but thanks for sharing and letting me share too ;) <br /> <br />~KeriAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13375388087550264608noreply@blogger.com
