Flexible Chore Chart for All Ages

I have used this as my children grew up, and I still use it now because I have 7 of my 8 grown children living with me. This is easier for them as the cost of living is cheaper, and I have plenty of help on the homestead too. Works amazing for our family - very similar to bygone eras where multi-generational families lived, worked, played and loved together. But - there is a lot of work to do and it can easily pile up because everyone thinks it is someone else's job to do! So while my children were growing up - this system worked very well. Now that my children are grown, this also works extremely well because each person has a weekly list that gets switched around once a week, so no one is stuck doing the same thing week after week...they also know exactly what I want them to do, what the family needs to have done, and they LOVE being able to check their lists off and be done with it. It's also great because if one child can't do their week (one of my daughters just had surgery) we can be flexible and I can break up their list of chores between the other children and it still gets done. I also have a list of 'big jobs' that need to be done around here that aren't basics that are done on a weekly or daily basis. Those we hit on top of what is included on these lists. Generally, each child has between 3-7 rooms or areas outside to work on each week, and under those rooms/areas they have between 1-7 things to do. If you don't know how to create your list, then go to a room and look - write down each thing that needs doing. Make it comprehensive, because you can assign something daily, weekly, monthly, etc. Do this for every room. If you have young children, you can assign them parts of room and you can work with them teaching them how to do each task. Once they learn how to do it well, you can assign those tasks and then teach new ones. Over time they slowly take over the basic work for you. As they get older, they can help younger siblings and supervise the work if needed. You don't need to have a large chart on the wall like I do, but mine is placed over the TV so when my children sit down to turn on youtube, they can't help but see the chart which reminds them without me there - to make sure their jobs are done before they veg out in front of videos ;) I keep copies in my 3 ring binder which is easier to flip through and read and that's what my children mainly use. I keep ALL the previous weeks' lists so I can assign jobs that are not the same week-to-week and I also can refer back to them for notes written on them or whether a monthly task was done or postponed, etc. After 2-3 months I discard the old lists. I have adult children now. There are many other tasks that need to be done that are now routine for us, like feeding and watering livestock, stacking alfalfa, picking wild blackberries, helping me can in the kitchen day after day, etc. Those are not on this list. This list is ONLY for the VERY BASIC needs of keeping our home clean and organized and livable. Thanks for watching - leave comments if you have any. Rebekah Facebook:   / 350433035410815
