Oh and to answer your other questions... I plan to list the free week as another task. They are daily tasks, but the same task to each person is assigned from Monday to Sunday. So basically three people are revolving around two actual tasks, so we implemented a 3rd "free" task. If another task comes up, I can simply rename the free task as everything will be normalized and only using the task ID. Stuff like beds and laundry are up to them, they don't affect us or their siblings as they each have their own room. Not to mention, they don't like to smell, so they are on top of those tasks. :) On Tue, Mar 25, 2014 at 1:35 PM, David McAfee <davidmcafee at gmail.com> wrote: > 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.
