[QUOTE="Star*, post: 316730, member: 4964"] If you would like us to help you write out a chart of DELEGATED chores - just say the word, list the ages of your children and we'll give you ideas of what a child that age SHOULD be able to do FOR THEMSELVES and FOR THE OTHERS without it being a burden on the eldest, you and your wife. No WAY should you or HER be doing laundry, dinner, packing lunches, cleaning, yard work...with FIVE children if any of them are over the age of six. They live in a large family - GET USED TO IT. If you and husband insist on being the kind of parents that don't believe in delgating and continue to do it ALL? There will be this board for kibitzing when you feel like exploding, resentment at times, her working, her sleeping, you feeling overwhelmed while continuing to work 3 jobs, possible nervous breakdown, ulcers, Prilosec, and this will continue until the youngest child is about 16. :raspberry-tounge: Just my observation. Oh and - May you find a 13th century treasure in a box at an auction that you bid .50 on. Closest I can get to a hug for a man I barely know. :winking: [/QUOTE]
