They do have some chores now, but only what you can expect from a 1 and 3 year old.

Right now they have to ....Pick up their clothes, put their dishes in the sink, Mckaylee helps fold laundry, Just little things I find for them to do.


Russell's new chore is going to be ...KEEPING HIS DIAPER ON.

luvmykids replied: Colt always wants to help me clean, which means give him some liquid and a sponge. When I tell him cleaning means picking up toys, vacuuming, etc he suddenly has something more pressing to do

ataylorm replied: Oh yea! I am with you there! I am so tired of there here, let me make a mess you can clean up stage!

Here is a tip for parents...

When you kid says they are bored, give them a chore. I remember the last time I told my mom I was bored, I was 8 years old, and since I was bored, I got to learn how to do all the ironing. I don't think I ever told her I was bored again.

I gave up on this one w/Megan. She's now in pull ups so she can't take it off. She hasn't quite figured out how to push the diaper down so we are safe..for now.

This is Kylie!

TheOaf66 replied: we just started the "you make a mess, you clean it" rule with Tanner. It seems every meal he has to spill his drink regardless of what it is so now if he does it, he has to stop eating and clean up his spill, same with food etc. He seems to be getting better, he did not like having to do that himself.

Maegan she likes to help when she can, but she don't like to help Kaitlynn pick up her toys.

Kaitlin'smom replied: Kaitlin helped me clean the house the other day. She ddi great, she offered to help so I found things she could do to help out. Personally I hate the word chore, to me its so negative. I am still looking for a better word, something like mommy's helper. She is good about helping when she asks to but when I ask her its a 50/50 shot.
