We have 3 kids and don't 'use' them. I like the 'You made the mess, you clean it up' way. But, it is hard to get them to work in the yard.
They way I do it is to show them that their father and I, regardless of how much we've worked/done/been sick {whatever} we still go out there and do it. That some chores are for the household.
Ha, I fix my bed the same way, katiesue.
My house may not be Martha Stewart clean but I wonder if my kids even appreciate the fact that I don't ride them all of the time about everything?
I could never live so clean. I look at my schtuff and think 'I should put it away'. But, it is my schtuff. I like to look at it. Pretty things, juvenile things {I have a Bobs' Big Boy, Jiminy Cricket, Pilsbury Dough Boy, Teddy Ruxpin, just to name a few things} and ooodles of books and pictures.
Where are these things supposed to go? Why bother having them?
{oh, was that a rant?}
