[quote=Anonymous]What works in our house is that everyone helps out at the same time. Everyday, we set a timer for 15 minutes right after dinner and I’ll list some things that need to be done, (ex: clear the table, flip over and fold the laundry, clean up dishes, clean up living room) and the teens will say stuff like “dibs on flipping over the laundry” or whatever. Then the whole family goes and works on chores for 15 minutes. When the timer goes off, anything that is left is just left to a later time. Similarly on weekend mornings, I’ll write up a list of housework and everyone will work for an hour or an hour and a half doing the chores. Someone might be mowing the lawn, while someone else is grocery shopping, and someone is cleaning, but everyone is working at the same time. [/quote]
