Our boys have many of the same chores your boys do. We feel Chores are the perfect way to teach our boys to do a job and do it right.
Hugs and much love
My 5 year old sorts laundry, straightens bathrooms and livingroom, my 8 year old does all the laundry and helps where ever needed, my 10 and 14 year old take turns with dishes and kitchen floor. everyone keeps up there room and helps straighten daily
Our children have some of the same chores that your boys do, although we don't expect as much of Daniel as we do from Sarah Beth. Children should have responsibility around the home, don't you think? (Obviously, you do!)
I am going to share this post with B and M! they don't do all that much around the house, and I am amazed (in a good way) at the things your boys do - without grumbling, I expect too? It's great that they do so much for you. I will hold out hope that my two get inspiration from yours.....watch this space! HUGS XO
I'm going to have to borrow a few of your chores for my boys to do. That is fantastic that you have two wonderful helpers.
I've been working with my kiddos on putting away their dirty clothes, and picking up all their toys too. Lately I've let them help bring in the groceries too, they seem to love that chore.
With my oldest out of school, he begged and begged for chores today, so I let him use the small stick-vacuum, and sweep crumbs with a dust pan. He loved it, and his little brother fought him for a turn with the vacuum.
Have a fantastic Summer!
We have a lot of the same chores as well! It's such a great way to teach them about responsibility!
