Who should be working in and around the house?

At what age should kids start helping, and what type of jobs can they be responsible for?

As early as possible. Little ones think it is a game. It has to be age appropriate with some common sense. I would not let my two year old empty the dishwasher of glass and sharp knives, but let them sort and match socks! As parents we already buy them toy vacuums, and toys to play house. Why not teach them the real deal?!

Let me first confess something.

I am the classic, "Here,...this is taking too long,...I'll just do it myself,...go play." Type of a person.

If you are like me, you will have to take a deep breath and know that you are not alone, but that it is worth it to let your children do the work themselves. They will definitely learn to respect and love you when they realize how much work you do.

My husband started all of this in our home. He is much more gentle and patient than me. When Bob became the "stay home Dad", he realized there is a lot of work to be done. And he saw three very capable children to help him. How smart. I was the one who saw how our children were responding to the work; with their respect. They love getting work done together, so that we can get to family fun together. A Win-Win situation.

In our house, our kids:

* Set the table for meals, clear the table, fill the dishwasher, sort their laundry, fold their laundry and put it away. They also clean their rooms, tidy the playroom; which is literally the entire basement, Pick up their clothes and towels in the bathroom after baths and showers, hang up coats and put away boots when they come in the house, feed and walk the dogs, and clean up the backyard on Poop Patrol.

Hey, just let them work along side of you. Get out a screw driver and show them how to tighten all the handles on the drawers in your house. They will love it!

All the time, only Bob and I have more energy and time to be with them too! And that is good parenting advice for you and good advice for children.

All these jobs are now routine and habit.

Are we adding more jobs?... Slowly.

Is there ever complaining?...Sometimes.

Am I equipping my kids for the future?...Yes.

Do they love and respect us?...I know so!

Are we glad we didn't wait until they were teenagers to start these habits and routines?...You betcha! And spending time together is always good family advice! Have fun doing whatever it is you end up doing together. It hard, even for a teenager to have attitude when they are laughing, so check out our fun advice at Kids Jokes. <http://www.bestfamilyadvice.com/kids-jokes.html>

You want success with whatever you are struggling with, don't you?

We all do.

You need advice. You are searching and searching for help and answers. This may be the first time you have decided to look for some help in an area, or maybe you have been searching for years. But you want satisfaction and success and happiness in one or more areas in your life, don't you?

Maybe it's your kids, or teens? Or you need help with another significant relationship in your life. None of us is perfect, so there is usually something we need tips and ideas for. Hey, I need tips for myself, never mind "harmony" with someone else!

Maybe it's your job and money situation. Click to our Family Budget Help. <http://www.bestfamilyadvice.com/family-budget.html>

Maybe it's your Marriage and/or your Weight. Try our Couples Ideas <http://www.bestfamilyadvice.com/married-couple.html>and Weight Loss Tips. <http://bestfamilyadvice.com/weight-loss.html>

First, if you are searching for it, how do you know What It Looks Like? How do you define success?

Is it perfect teenagers or toddlers who never whine?

Is it a size 2 dress, for yourself or your wife?

Is it lots of money, with no debt?

Is it a bigger house, and perfect husband who says all the right things?

My true definition of success in my own life is summed up in one word;

I try to guard myself from the "Too Much" and "Not Enough" in my life.

Too much food,... Not enough sleep,... Too much nagging,...Not enough money, etc, etc, etc.

When I get hooked on one or more of these I have to stop myself. I am out of balance and it is going to hurt someone, and me. Especially the too much food!

Where are you at?

Where do you need to apply this advice?

Is it Not Enough time with the kids? Not enough time with your spouse?

Is it worrying Too Much about money, or Not Enough about money?

Too Much food? Not Enough sleep?

You can do this. You may already know it deep down.

Does Success happen immediately? Yes, if it means putting down the chips right now, or turning off the computer and going to play with your kids.

You are worth it. So is your family.
