Daily Chore Charts

Our family’s cleaning and chore schedules have varied widely over
the years. In two short years we have gone from having one
teenager in the home to having two teenagers and two toddlers.
In the past I have tended to do much of the housework myself,
with help off and on from my teenage daughter. Our cleaning
schedule was very different then. We got away with vacuuming
once or twice a week and didn’t even do the dishes every day.

Our lifestyle changed dramatically when I was pregnant with our
twins. It got to the point I could do no housework at all. At
the time my daughter was 17 years old, attending community
college, and working at a part time job. I was not requiring her
to do much housework because of her busy schedule. While I was
pregnant we both decided she would quit her job and work for me
instead, doing housework, cooking dinner, and doing grocery
shopping for me. This arrangement worked very well for us and I
enjoyed the extra time we got to spend together. She was able to
easily find a new part time job after her brothers were born and
I started doing more housework again.
