I want my 3 boys to do chores around the house because
A. one day they will be out on their own so they need to know how to do things for themselves.
B. they need to do their share
I have decided to pay for chores as a way of teaching the value of work and how to handle their money.
Our chore chart is set up in a spreadsheet. One week is on one sheet of paper. I am only doing it for the older two boys for now. To save myself time, I print it just once a month. I staple 4 weeks together. I pull off the top sheet when that week is done. Their chore chart is posted on the wall and they check off when they do their jobs.
Tell me what jobs your kids do. Tell me gender, age and job. I would love to see what other families do. I always take bits and pieces of what others do and make it work for our family.

Once a week he has to clean up his bathroom and has to help clean up the yard.
He also has to vacuums onces a week the kids living room.
My four year old has to help pick up her messes daily. Other than that she does not do much.
This is a great idea. I’ve been looking for a chore chart and will use yours as a sample. My husband was raised where he learned how to do laundry and cook at an early age. He is the one who taught me how to do many things because his mom raised him this way. I was raised where I didn’t have to do chores. Too many men are sent out on their own as mama’s boys and don’t know how to do anything for themself. Kudos to you for making their future wives very happy and thankful to you:)
By the way great new website!

I loved this post, It is very helpful, my 14 year old loves it, i added a reward to the deal for every week he does his chores without me remainding him, he will get a movie ticket and a dinner at the restaurant of his choice, so far is working!
Chore charts are fantastic! I just recently started to use the chore chart, but incorporated behaviors into the chart. I have two toddler boys that need quite a bit of help in the area of behavior…LOL
They get very excited about the prospect of getting rewarded for “good deeds”.
My daughter is 2 and doesn’t have any set chores yet, but always helps clean up after herself, and tries to ‘help’ where she can.
