Kids contributing to household chores, whether they want to or not

I’ve never created a “chores chart” for my kids.  A chores chart would be just something else I’d have to keep track of.  Also, part of me feels that they should assist in household chores simply because it’s a necessity for maintaining the home.  I’m a firm believer in teaching them that there are many things in life that you just have to do, whether you want to or not.

But…my one son is asking for the chores chart.  He’s wired in such a way that I know he’ll reap many benefits from using such a device.  So, I’m going to bite the bullet and create one for them. I honestly don’t see that we’ll be able to keep up with the duties every day that will be listed, but I’ll at least try it out.  Good read below..
