Teaching kids to work has been one big challenge of parenting that I didn't appreciate when I was dreaming of motherhood. We have a pretty good groove down with the kids and their weekly chores, but when I say a "good groove" it means we have a consistent plan, but it still often is quite a mental workout to get them accomplished with minimal whining and terrible micromanaging. Today I got a kick out of Olive's note back on her chore list, which says, "I will try my best - my way of cleaning." ha ha Can you tell we have had discussions about what actually constitutes as clean?
.I sure love these kids even when they make me crazy. Someday they will be grateful that they contributed around here, right???
