Only the dishes and trash collection are assigned. <BR/><BR/>Basically, what we do is go around the house and write down all the chores that need doing and number them. One person is in charge of the list and no one else reads it. Then we all choose numbers, complete that chore, and come back for another when we're done. That way, no one complains about having certain chores, because the assignment is random.<BR/><BR/>My favorite chores are washing the dishes by hand (It's relaxing!) and doing laundry.<BR/>~Princess Sprincessesindisguisehttp://princessesindisguise.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-79060741473676699192008-08-05T03:10:00.000-05:002008-08-05T03:10:00.000-05:002008-08-05T03:10:00.000-05:00# What chores are you responsible for?<BR/>I have worked full time since I was sixteen alongside my father and brother in a family business, so I don't have many house-hold chores. I do have to do the dishes, and clean the kitchen every night with my brother though.<BR/># Do you have a schedule or routine for doing your chores? If so, what is it?<BR/>The rule is 10 minutes after dinner is fiished, he dishes must be underway! Ideally... :)<BR/># What helps you keep a joyful attitude as you work?<BR/>Well, I like to put on a praise and worship tape, or sing as I work, or joke with my brother! At the end of the day, one has to make an effort to be cheerful about dishes!<BR/># What is your favorite chore?<BR/>Cooking, budgeting, planning some frugal excursion! General house keeping... When I was younger, I did not fully understand that homemaking is a ministry in itself, and a priveledge. Therefore I did not appreciate the opportunity I had to be at home all day. Now that I work, I really enjoy the simple things like cooking a meal, or planning a menu. Don't forget, being at home might not seem as glamorous or exciting as going to college or working, but it really is a priveledge to be enjoyed!Lover of Beautyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09433098707608728155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-54884583346582855072008-08-04T21:48:00.000-05:002008-08-04T21:48:00.000-05:002008-08-04T21:48:00.000-05:00What chores are you responsible for?<BR/>All of them! Haha! Seriously my oldest daughter Samantha cleans her own room (including dusting and vaccuming) and her and her sister's bathroom (including scrubbing toilets). My youngest daughter Grace keeps her room and toys picked up. They both help with the dog and setting the table and cleaning up after dinner. And anything else I decide they need to do. <BR/><BR/>Do you have a schedule or routine for doing your chores? If so, what is it?<BR/>Not really. Only laundry is done on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Other than that I clean when things are dirty. Usually dusting once every week and a half.<BR/><BR/>What helps you keep a joyful attitude as you work?<BR/>Honestly I am a big nerd and I love to clean. I put on some praise and worship music and go to town! My kids and husband think I am slightly nuts because I actually find cleaning and taking care of the house such a joy.<BR/><BR/><BR/>What is your favorite chore?<BR/>I'd have to say reorganizing a room. But I also really love to bake.Tiffanyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03482666022698598954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-82406898281905306452008-08-04T21:35:00.000-05:002008-08-04T21:35:00.000-05:002008-08-04T21:35:00.000-05:00Sadly, my family has never required chores of us, which means a lot of work is left undone. Because I am not accustomed to, I have a hard time picking up the work, but I am trying to change that. In other words, blessed are the parents who make their children do chores. <BR/><BR/>Maria Paulinebeautifulgracebloghttp://beautifulgraceblog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32145813.post-28929833871706980252008-08-04T20:24:00.000-05:002008-08-04T20:24:00.000-05:002008-08-04T20:24:00.000-05:00What chores are you responsible for? <BR/>*Cooking 2 meals a day.

(2) it helps my family (3) I am growing and learning through doing things I don&#39;t particularly enjoy. <BR/><BR/>Or, I can just find a way to make chores enjoyable; do it with my sister or mother, so we can talk or use it as a quiet time with God.<BR/><BR/>Just some ideas... <BR/> May God be your joy &amp; strength,<BR/>HannahAgnesbflyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00110468450970217737noreply@blogger.com
