Meal Chores

I’ve also divided up the meal chores.  After each meal, we clean the dining room and the kitchen.  I’ve assigned a big girl to each area – dining room, dishes, kitchen tidy.

Kristyn takes care of the dining room.

  • set table
  • clear table
  • scrape dishes
  • wipe table and chairs
  • sweep dining room
  • push chairs in
  • empty trash
  • wipe counter

Cora and Marrissa work in the kitchen – one does the dishes and dishwasher, the other tidies the kitchen.

Dishes

  • rinse dishes
  • empty dishwasher
  • fill dishwasher
  • wash pots
  • start dishwasher

Kitchen

  • wash counters
  • wash stove
  • sweep / mop
  • empty trash

I help wherever I am needed, but especially after supper, I am usually busy with putting the little ones into baths and bed.  don’t expect perfection, by any means.  I do know that they are young, but they are very capable.  If I can see that there was good effort put into the work, I am pleased.
