I make him cut veggies for me too as that it his fave and he can second rinse dishes. I am not sure if thats enough but at least its a start & we are doing it together =) #pocolo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682796786093055232.post-40614100212386892632014-05-02T09:58:41.134+01:002014-05-02T09:58:41.134+01:00I think it should get easier as they're older ...I think it should get easier as they're older if chores are based on pocket money. Yes some things (like putting washing in the basket, helping wash up, putting toys away) should be automatic and what everyone should do (wish my OH would - he's the bad example in this house). But at least you can use pocket money as a leverage to getting chores done routinely. <br /><br />We used to have a contract for pocket money as my mum used to get really annoyed by the state of our bedrooms. My brother and I signed a contract that our pocket money would be witheld unless our rooms passed inspection. Did the job.<br /><br />My 3 yo really likes helping out and being like mummy, so I'm hoping we can keep that up for a while (he's not that helpful, but he's keen which is the battle!)EmmaThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00273958012836742960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2682796786093055232.post-59349857604150815752014-05-02T09:55:24.511+01:002014-05-02T09:55:24.511+01:00I totally agree, I know my four year old could do ...I totally agree, I know my four year old could do so much more. My problem comes with me having the patience to encourage and teach him. When quite frankly it is so much easier and faster to do it myself! #pocoloAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12672452603937317071noreply@blogger.com
