Am I Mean?

Actually, don't answer that.  Here is the latest version of our job chart.  I'm hoping that the kids find it reasonably equal as far as ages and abilities.  My kids hate jobs regardless of how we hand them out, but both Brad and feel that it is important for everyone to contribute to a clean and organized home.  If they're all going to help create the mess, they should all help to get rid of it.

The goal is to do a little each day after school (except on Wednesdays) to keep the house looking decent overall.  I split the Friday/Saturday jobs into two days, but I don't think it would be too much to do them all on either Friday or Saturday, depending on what our plans for the weekend are.  You may notice that Brad isn't on here.  That's because he'll be gone for the next two months.  Don't worry, he'll be back on the chart once he's home again!
