PICS: Washing clothes at the laundry mat, the boys helped me. I like to hand wash and line dry our clothes, but in the deep freeze of our winters that’s not going to happen.

My kids have to keep their rooms clean and each of them has 2 additional chores. My daughter, who is 18, has to clean out the fridge once a month and keep the shelves and inner door wiped down once a week. She also has to sweep and wipe down hallway stairs once a week. My oldest son, who is 12, has to sweep the front and back porches once a week and keep them organized. He also has to take out the trash. My youngest son, who is 9, has to run the vacuum twice a week downstairs. They all have to put their clean clothes away, alternate on washing the dishes, cleaning the bathrooms, feeding the cat, and straighten their closets once a week. They are a big help to me with keeping the house clean.

If you have children 2-4 have them pick up their toys and put their dirty clothes in the hamper. If you are not picky about folding they can also put some of their clothes away at this age. It has been my experience that Fours really like to help with the dishes. Have them help you wash and dry your non-breakable dishes and put them away. By six they might be ready to handle doing the dishes all on their own.
