It seems the chore list is going to work. I had to go out and buy them a new mop cuz they didn't like mine but it is worth it. Each day they have a different chore to do. He even told them how to do it. He is going to inspect the house daily and see if they got them done.
The funny thing is he even typed the list up with instructions. It might not have been the best looking type job but he did it. I'm sure it took him an hour or so just to type the little bit on there so I am very impressed with him. I told him I was.
Now we will see how things go. It felt good to be doing something together again. Even though it wasn't anything extraordinary, it is something.
