I had bought a chore chart and hung it on the fridge -- it worked super great...for about 5 days. Now we are back to square one. I was asking my husband, "Do I keep nagging? It would be so much easier on my mental health to just do it all myself." But we are trying to teach them responsibility! Now I read this, and I have renewed vigor to keep trying!Michelle DeRushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07658349105535790020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-29217412349672798042010-09-29T16:19:52.930-04:002010-09-29T16:19:52.930-04:00Way To Go!

And I do check front pants pockets just because that is where most used tissues are stuffed (yuk!) -- I've had too many of them shredded in the washer. But anything not put in the hamper does not get washed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2134254466445610818.post-69525353601542972812010-09-29T09:50:57.682-04:002010-09-29T09:50:57.682-04:00It's SO good for our kids to learn to take res...It's SO good for our kids to learn to take responsibility.
