[AccessD] Chore Schedule

My son tends to be the procrastinator when it comes to doing chores. :)

The older two like to do the dishes the next morning.
We've told them they need to be done that night.

I hate having dirty dishes left out overnight.

When it was one kid, life was easy.
My son moved in with us last year, still easy to keep track of.

My daughter moved in in December, so now all of our teens are under one
roof. :)
Having three rotate between those two jobs is pretty easy, but there are
still times of uncertainty (at least for me).

This morning I was about to leave and the trash & recycling in the kitchen
were very full.
I couldn't remember who's task it was. :)

Last week my youngest was in a play and the two weeks prior to it were
"Hell week",
so she was leaving at 6:50AM and getting home from school just before 10PM.

I'm sure she would have loved to have traded her free week with someone
else.
She did end up coming home, doing the dishes, any remaining homework then
sleep. :S

They have sleep overs, stay at our Ex's house sometimes and need to handle
busy weeks on their own.
They are so busy at times that they don't see each other. I figure an app
on their phone will help.

I'll keep you guys up to date on the progress. Heck if it works out, I may
even put it on the market place :P

Thanks again,

D
