[quote=Anonymous]The most successful I've ever been at this was by having a chore chart for the entire family (including two tweens/teens at the time). Every week we'd list out one item for each person to do every day. I rotated the big items (wash sheets, clean shower/tub) with smaller items (sweep kitchen floor) depending on what else each person had going on each day. Some items showed up every week or even multiple times a week, others rotated in when I realized that they hadn't been done for a while. It even helped me, I found it easier to motivate myself to clean if the chore chart said "MOM - CLEAN WINDOWS" in bright pink letters. Sadly, we let life get in the way and I stopped being so disciplined about making a new list every week. Now we just clean things when they get noticeable, and tell the one teen still at home when he needs to help. [/quote]
