Dishes and Laundry





The never ending task of dishes and laundry!! Of course now that the kids are older, they help out with some of the household chores, but as they grow they also make the laundry and dishes piles larger!
At our house the kids have daily chores, one child is responsible for one area of the house for one whole month, then they rotate. For example, the bathroom job includes spraying and wiping the bathroom sinks everyday, wiping tubs and toilets once a week and spraying and wiping all the doorknobs (germ collectors!) in the house twice a week. There is a kitchen job and a floor job, so it is a great help for me.
Since there is no designated laundry chore for the kids, we offer $1.00 per load to anyone who wants to fold laundry for us. Yesterday Felicia made two dollars. A typical week of laundry in the house is about 5 extra large loads done twice a week, usually Sundays and Thursdays.
We load the dishwasher and run it everyday.
