A friend of mine blogged a while ago about how she divides chores between her & her husband and does them during the week so that she can have the weekends to herself.
Wonderful idea so I thought I'd try it out! I even went so far as to create a "Home Organizer" binder with all kinds of sections and worksheets and stuff. Bleh. Useless if you don't keep up with it--kind of like budgeting. It definitely did help to write down the chores & days & who is to do what.
It really did help for a while...that is, until I fell off the wagon. I need to post the duties somewhere where I can see them & be reminded of what I need to do.
The only thing I'd say is a bummer with this system is that we never have the whole house clean at the same time. One thing gets clean but then it's dirty by the next week while something else is still clean.
I suppose it's better than having a whole house that's dirty!!
Haha! It takes some getting used to, but it is SOOOOOO worth it! On the agenda for today, for example, is reading a book, baking a cake, and working on my baby registry. NO CLEANING OR CHORES! Yay!
