We have had a great increase in the times the kids don't remember to do a chore or that they were told to do one. It isn't even always chores, but often that is because I pair a chore with a treat or fun thing. It just keeps getting worse and is driving husband and I nuts.
husband took me to the doctor's on Mon and we went to Sams. For $7 I got a pack of ten order books or guest checks. They are those 2 part carbonless order pads that some restaurants use. I write down whatever it is, give a copy to the kid/kids and keep one.
It also lets husband and I see what the other has asked the kids to do. Well, told them to do but phrased it politely.
For those of you who don't know offhand what the order book is, here is the link to the Sam's Club page: http://www.samsclub.com/sams/shop/product.jsp?productId=140376&navAction=
