I saw Pinterest yesterday.
Frankly, I hadn't been there in 3 month, though I love it.
Somehow, I got into a vortex of kids' chores lists.
Today we did chores. Everyone except the boy contributed fairly.
My contribution right now is making a chore list- it's a spreadsheet which is, to be fair, AWESOME.
The bonus part is the punch card.
The children each had birthday parties to go to this weekend, which meant I had to buy presents. Now, I understand this is part of parenting. HOWEVER, since the children don't contribute enough to household maintenance, I would like to leverage this into a benefit.
I have added a list of "punch card" items, for which the children can earn punches on an adorable business card (like the ones at the guys' haircut places, but cute) that they keep track of. When they accomplish one of the tasks on the list, they get a punch on the card. When ten punches are accumulated, they get $10.
The Girl child is thrilled, and already has 4 cards planned out.
The Boy child is skeptical.
I'm excited!
