What did you have in mind...!?How old where your kids when they really started doing chores?
Mine does her own dishes and picks up after herself, but I'm thinking at five it's time to start putting her to work.
I'm right there next to her. I lead by example, complete with sighs and a negative disposition. "But Honey I don't want to change diapers"Geez...that statement bummed me out !!
...but, it is the truth ! Good job Dad...
How about an allowance...or even a little gift to know you appreciate the hard work...
My daughter liked to help around the house, and we made it fun because she saw us pulling the duty too.
Nobody likes feeling like a servant, while others sit and give orders. When it was time to get stuff done, we
included her, but always worked besides her.
I'm doing one better, I'm buying a trash can that we will keep the food in and she can scoop it out and take multiple trips.You should have bought the big bag then took it home and split it into smaller bags...
You would have saved money for the bulk buy and still gave her something easy to handle.
C'mon Dad...your smarter than that...!!![]()
And there is the issue. She really makes me want to feed the dogs. Last night she ran up to me for no reason and gave me a hug. I melted, I was about ready to give her my wallet and tell her to go nuts.He's smarter than that, but doesn't have much choice what with being wrapped around that little finger ...![]()
