Here is a great idea I was reading up on this week. I am always doing all the chores in the house and my daughter is getting older so I give her things to pick up. Nothing much but she has to clean up the messes that she makes now. That is not much to ask. But there will be a time where I will have children that are all of age to actually have a chore once a week whether it is the dishes or vacuuming. Why not put all the chores in a hat along with something that says “no chores for you!” – then they can pick their chores randomly every week and may even get that lucky paper!!
