Do you require the kids to help with the household chores?
It’s good for them, you know.
Chores and responsibilites are essential for a large family (I only have five)...but, ultimately the chores should not be full time jobs (the laundry girl—it was Jinger I believe...the kid was waaaaay to excited over front loading machines for a person not cashing a Maytag paycheck). It was just kind of sad (to me).
Of course. That’s a given in our house. Two of the kids like to cook so they enjoy helping with dinner and especially with baking and helping for our holiday feasts. They have their own favorite recipes, too.
The other two don’t like the cooking part at all.
All have their weekly chores and daily chores.
The two teens have jobs outside the house and have for the last couple of years. All help out and contribute.
But our house isn’t one that could be held up as an example for organization. Half the time, the house looks like a tornado went through it.
