What kinds of chores do your children have?

How are they in getting them done everyday?

They get home from school at 3pm, I get home at 530 from work. I expect that chores and homework be done when i get home is this too much?

i must say u r doing a great job with ur kids

but d highlighted part does not really go down well with me

u see whne dis kids come back from school,sometimes they feel exhausted,homework shouldnt be d thing there,rather they should take their baths,eat their food,and sleep for a few hours,then they r refreshed

but making them do all dis when they come back from school,i think its too harsh

anywayz we all see things in diff ways

If there is one thing parents need to learn - do not shout at your kids.

i dnt have kids yet ( still yrs away lol ) but i do take care of children and this what i do with them when it comes to housework

1) I Post a "chore chart." and have them involved in the creation of the chore chart. i Decide together with them what chores will be listed and will be expected to be completed. I Use stickers or tie a pencil next to the chart for record keeping.

2) Chores should be appropriate to the child's age. Children in preschool should always have to put away toys. Children in early elementary school can help also with pets and putting their laundry away. The older children can also help with bigger tasks including vacuuming or sweeping, mopping, dusting, changing sheets, laundry and dishes.

3) Rewards for chores should also be age appropriate. It doesn't always have to be a monetary allowance. You can reward their responsibility with coupons for 1 on 1 time with a parent, a special activity of choice or a play date with a friend.   more time playing games, watching tv etc. just any fun thing that will boost their spirit and make them more eager to do the work. and always tell them what a great job they did. you know words of encouragement helps big time

4) there should be consequences if the work is not done. There is no reason to get upset and angry with your children when they do not want to do chores. they are children so just be easy and patient with them. it takes time

Sistawoman, seems to me that the kids are the only one doing the chores.
What exactly do you do?

Don't get me wrong, kids ought to do chores in order to compensate for living under their parent's roof.

But what I HATE seeing is the parent not helping, while the kids are suffering under the weight of being students and doing excess chores, mommy sits there and watch.

Just a simple observation.

Even Kunta Kente would say "No massah, I no do"

@chamotex
lol, that's the way it is, hon.

Wanna live under my roof for free, you gotta pay.

It's like going to a guest' house and eating. I make sure I clean my dishes and the rest of the dishes in the sink before I leave.

I bet the kids are the ones who pour out the wine and run the bubble bath for these 5 round sessions sef
