Good going on the chores Kerry. Single dads need some help. I had tried this earlier with a simple list one for each kid on a plain 8.5x11 paper. S8 was enthusiastic for a few days but D12 does not look at at. I think my kids can help me more as some days I have no time or energy left. I'll try the pink/blue/purple thing. Do you use index cards? And do you reward/pay them for this? (I don't believe in paying for chores, I think they need to help because they want to).
I tend to agree with you on the violin lessons. We were sending both kids to piano and they hated the teacher and the practice and it was quite expensive. So that was one of my first budget cuts. They now play the piano when the spirit moves them.
