[QUOTE="InsaneCdn, post: 657696, member: 11791"] Stress and hunger are NOT a good mix. :D I gave up directly "assigning" chores. I came up with a list of "all the things I do"... and its a LONG list. Then asked the kids to pick three or four (some are really small) to look after for a month. Unload dishwasher [I]whenever it shows as having clean dishes[/I]. (yes, you have to be observant... duh!). Fold a load of laundry. Sweep floors. Vacuum. Dust. Weeding (yes, everyone's favorite... NOT!). Cut lawn. Trim lawn. Water lawn (almost brainless, we have a sprinkler system, but you do have to switch which sections are being watered). Does it work? Well... I get close for K2 and not so close for K1. [/QUOTE]
