[QUOTE="butterflydreams, post: 161815"] Such wonderful ideas! I am going to make a list of all the things that need to be done daily as well as things that are weekly or whatever. I am then going to sit down with the kids and we are going to go through it. easy child always says she wants to learn to cook (I was cooking whole meals by myself before I was even her age) but when I try to involve her she doesn't want to. I think I am going to try again with that though, because if she would prepare even a simple meal a few nights a week, it would be a big help. easy child is responsible for her own bathroom - no one uses it but her. I have told her I won't touch it, I don't use it, neither does difficult child. I have given her all the supplies she needs for that, they are right there in her bathroom. She has done laundry before - I have told them both that if their laundry isn't in the laundry area by Saturday morning when I start the laundry then it doesn't get done. One time, she said she would just do hers herself - so I showed her how to use the machine. She didn't do that again. Things need to change though and there is no time like the present. I don't want to overload them, but I do want them to learn responsibility. Thank you everyone again for all the wonderful ideas. Christy [/QUOTE]
