Getting the household chores completed on time and to the degree that you want it, is a dream that every mother has. She dreams of a gleaming counter-top after the dinner is done. She dreams of washed and dried crockery and cutlery placed in their respective cabinets. She also dreams of the trash going out every night, before going to bed. Cleaning the house, cooking three meals a day, washing and drying the clothes and utensils, buying groceries, cleaning the bathroom, disposing the garbage, and the list goes on and on. This was just a glimpse of the numerous chores that are required to be completed in the house, almost on a daily basis. And no person can do all the above single-handedly. Help is expected, and help should be given. Especially to working moms, who have to juggle their personal and professional lives, and seem to do it with such flair.

Preparing the Chore Chart Getting the house work done by kids is a major task. Every mother will agree. But not if you have a perfect checklist, combined with a proper daily or weekly chore chart that will divide the work among all the members of the family.
