Description
Are you training your kids to help around the house? Several months ago, I put a chore-chart from my friend Toni (The Happy Housewife) on Facebook at The Busy Mom and went about my day. I forgot about it, actually. I thought that moms would love this handy chart, and that people would think, “Yes! Chores for children!”
Boy was I wrong.
I was amazed at how much controversy this little chore-chart generated. Before the end of the day I was called "abusive" and "lazy" for requiring my children to be active participants in our home. And we don't even live on a farm! My children are working inside our house doing the things that people who live in houses do: they are cleaning, cooking, tidying.. and yes, they're playing too.
