Why I Went From Chore Charts To A Cleaning Schedule

As a parent we ALL know that as kids get older there are things that we as the parent have to teach them. Responsibility is one of them.
Not only does things like chores help with this process but it also helps us get things done.
I can not tell you HOW MANY times I have tired chore charts and they have been a HUGE FAIL in our house.
I always felt that these things ended up giving me more work in the end. Checking up on them, coming up with them, punishment for not doing them etc.

 

This go around I had noticed a TON of cleaning schedules on Pinterest and I WAS HOOKED! 

I couldn't believe that this was not something I personally came up with with how many times I had failed at the whole chore chart idea.

We run a pretty hectic life and since the weekends are usually the only days of the week we don't have dad at work I wanted it to be chore free so it gave us the opportunity to have time for family. 

I looked over several ideas on pinetrest and revamped them to fit our needs.
Now each of the girls still have a daily morning task list and an afternoon task list but the major cleaning is now divided between Monday thru Friday.

Since this is a new idea I can go ahead and tell you it is a rough start but I will be sure to give you the scoop on how things go for us very soon!
Plus I will share with you guys how I broke it all down, and once it works I plan on making my list prettier on the eyes :)

Are you pro schedule or pro chores?
