Whose job is it, anyway?

Once upon a time in an office were four people. Their names were Everybody, Somebody, Nobody, and Anybody. When there was important work to be done, Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. When Nobody did it, Everybody got mad because it was Anybody's job. Everybody thought that Somebody would do it, but Nobody realized it wouldn't get done, so Nobody did it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done in the first place.

The Wilcox family has turned into this office!!! We expect the other person do clean up when we don't think it is our turn! So it has come down to this...

Now we have chore charts! We have tried them for a week, and so far so good. The daily chores take only 15 minutes to do IF you do not skip a day, and the weekly chores take 2 minutes. If you complete the whole sheet by the end of the week then you get a treat like a new outfit or a movie, but nothing too pricey. They are laminated so when the week is over we just wipe off the white-board-marker and switch charts.

Here are the rules:

1. Daily chores MUST be done every day.

2. Weekly chores can be done on any day of the week, as long as it is not done on Sunday (except FHE).

3. If you miss a day you may be saved my filling in the "Oops... I miss (such and such) day."

4. You must fill in what was completed or missed to get credit for that day.

We will see how long this lasts.

Do any of you guys have a good way of keeping up with your home?
