With two different ages, you could use the more difficult chores spinner for the older child, and have her spin for, say, 3 out of 6 each week, so she will get different ones each week. Same for your youngest, but with the easy chores spinner. Kids of all ages will always complain about having to do chores, and they'll do everything they can to break us, the parents, and make us give in and let them get away with not doing anything. But, in the long run, allowing them to be lazy isn't in their best interest, even if it's easier for us to just do it all ourselves. Also, my apologies for such a late response. My "reply" button has been missing in action for quite some time, and I just today figured out how to get it back.Square Pegshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17056391486262540832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3926573089959391264.post-41840812909047544892014-02-21T08:04:04.221-05:002014-02-21T08:04:04.221-05:00This is a really good idea.

I'm "torturing" my 15 year old when I ask her about (1x a week) to do the dishes. I just end up doing everything myself. I end up telling myself that her "job" is school and as long as she's doing well I wont bug her to much about chores. <br /><br /> I guess another issue is my kids are such different ages that my little one, Jayda, age 8 cant do the things that Kayla is capable of doing. This method could make it fun. I should try it! Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12505988721438928724noreply@blogger.com
