Make your children work for a living

No, seriously. Kids should have chores and earn their way in their homes. I'm sure, knowing my audience (Washburn and Badger families, haha), that I'm preaching to the choir. But there you go.

If you want to know what made me think about this, click HERE. It's a fun read. I love The Pioneer Woman.

I agree.

I believe so much in that that I frequently dream about the times when my kids were young. Last night, for instance, I dreamed that I needed to go to the bathroom but it was very dirty, so I started making assignments to all six of my kids to clean each of the seven bathrooms in our house. (I was going to clean one, too.) Cindy was little and complained about being able to do it, but I told her I would put soap all over and all she had to do was wipe it off. Eventually I woke up and realized I needed to go to the bathroom for real. That's a frequent occurrence for me; if I dream I have to go to the bathroom, I usually do.

Man, if only we'd REALLY had seven bathrooms growing up...

Well, we did--just one or two at a time in each of the six homes we had in your lifetime. Seven counting the one in Nevada. And at one time or another you probably cleaned all of them!
