No matter how much our kids dislike doing chores, it has been so important in teaching our children that the privilege of being part of such an awesome family (super awesome), comes with responsibility. We work together, and we play together.
Last week we had let the laundry slide a little and had a plethora of socks to sort, and a couple baskets of laundry to fold. So, Saturday morning, when Dad is already at work taking tests, and writing papers, and such, the kids and I are at home, in our PJ's, begrudgingly folding laundry.
Of course Anna is doing her best to hide and shirk her family responsibility. Sometimes we let it slide. She's got time to learn. Just think of all the work she and Hazel will have to do once the older kids have left home and the responsibilities that were once shared by 5, will suddenly be the work of 2. :)
