A few people asked where I got the kids job charts. I made them in a program on my computer, called numbers. It is the same as Excel on a PC. I just made a chart with 7 columns across for the days of the week and however many down for each job they had.
I can send you a copy if you want. Email me at mylitter@mac.com. Sometimes people have trouble opening things from me like that because of the mac/pc thing. I always convert them for you, so we can try.
The older kids ( 11, 9 and 7) jobs included: Load/unload dishwasher, clear table, set table, make bed, pick up room, fold and put away clothes, clean kids bathroom, take trash out, take trash down, do your laundry (my oldest 11 and 9 do their own laundry from start to finish) clean up backyard (dog poop) homework, etc. They each have about 7 things on their chart.
The younger kids ( 5 and 3) jobs included: Make bed, pick up clothes, pick up playroom, help Mom with baby, carry folded clothes to rooms.
I laminate them at Kinko’s or another copy place where they have the heavy pouches instead of the light weight paper.
