[quote=Anonymous]We normally use a chore chart.  I've gotten flack on here for the idea in the past, but it works really well.  It doesn't need to be super insane, but with a LOT of people, there is a lot of general cleaning that needs to happen. So at a minimum do a once daily "kitchen chores" that rotates through the family units.  This can be as involved as you want it to be.  Our was fairly extensive, but that's what works.

This works well because we have little kids in the house and no one is going out to eat. So the kitchen is used HEAVILY all day long.  It needs tidying, the dishwasher needs to be unloaded, the trash needs to go out, multiple times a day.

We also rotate cooking dinner each night (again, each family unit takes a night) and we all eat together.  Breakfast and lunch is more "as you go".   We are all pretty generous, but we each do a grocery store run the day we are cooking.  There is always stuff that needs to be bought, and we are mostly using it kinda equally.  So I'd go to the store to get my stuff for dinner and anything else (chips, lunch meat, beer, milk, etc).  This works well, but again no one is bean counting and we all are fine with this break down.  It just sort of happened organically like this with 16 people in a house, we always need something.[/quote]
