[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have your kids do their own laundry. Mine started in 1st grade. Let them put it away even if it means it’s shoved in drawers or they live out of the clean laundry basket. Use delivery services so you can cut back on time spent running to the store. Have kids pack their own lunches or buy. They are old enough to pack. Set aside 15 minutes each evening to put things away so the piles don’t build. Assign age appropriate chores for the kids to complete on weekends. They can definitely dust or vacuum and straighten up the family room. [/quote] Agreed! However, 9 and 12 yo can do much more than "dust or vacuum". They can help with just about any part of cleaning the home. They can clean their bathroom (and require it to be done well), clean the kitchen, etc along with decluttering/putting stuff in their proper places and vacuuming. By 12 I was cleaning the entire house weekly [/quote]
