[quote=Anonymous]You could do more on Friday (run & unload dishwasher before you leave, do all laundry) and then have kids help you clean up Monday morning before or after school and vacuum, put away their laundry. Mondays can be tough in this situation you can ask MB to hire a housekeeper for mondays, even every 2 weeks (or if they have one ask MB to have her come Monday mornings). Offer incentives of special activities you know each child likes to happen immediately after chore is done, make cookies, smoothies, or Popsicles, play a game or watch a DVD, have a friend over, whatever you know they'll enjoy. You can have them help you do a speed clean for half an hour Monday afternoons, play music and everyone gets two or three jobs to get done in thiry minutes. Do what you can to help, but with this many kids things will be a mess most of the time, you'll have to let things go sometimes.[/quote]
