2 weeks in

Alright so we are 2 weeks into the amazing chore chart I've created and I have to tell you if you dont have one you are SURELY missing out.  It is absolutely AMAZING to have a clean house! Granted I have a bazillion "spring" cleaning projects that I personally keep putting off but damn it im pregnant, its a thousand degress outside, and I manage 3 arguing girls ALL DAY from sun up to sun down! 

Positives:
1. Clean house in less time
2. Parents get to have more chill time
3. Children learn work ethic
4. Children learn to be unselfish and work as a team

Negatives (challenges rather)
1. Parents MUST be deligent and consistant in checking chores for accuracy and completeness
2. Coughing up the reward when you are broke (this is when I change the system lol)
3. Parents must pull their weight to demonstrate how it should be done

Overall, Im glad I finally implemented this.  I sooooo look forward to its continuation with ease once I have the baby.  A system that will eventually run itself like a well oiled machine that doesnt require mom to manage it.  I encourage you to do the same because todays children are sadly missing the point: in life, the world owes you nothing and nothing comes for free.  As parents, we are only required to provide you food, clothing and shelter, the rest is simply a treat from us to you.
