Do you set a strict schedule for your children?

dinner set for 6 image

Jax's Momm

Dinner- 6 pm
Bath- 7 pm
Bed time- 8 pm
Etc

Do you find that they are better behaved when they are on this type of schedule?
I am pretty lax with the time for everything (except bedtime). But I think my son might benefit from 'knowing' what is going to happen next instead of playing it by ear so to speak.

Answer
They sew sneakers all day, eat a bowl of rice and go to sleep on a floor mat. Hell, it pays the bills.

How much do your kids help you clean?

NYCmommy

what chores do they do?

here is what my kids do:
10 year old boy- takes out trash every day, keeps room clean, helps watch over baby while i'm busy
8 year old girls-help w/ dinner, set table, keeps room clean
6 year old boy-helps mommy fold laundry (the best he can haha), feed fish, keep room clean
3 year old boy-just kinda is my little helper
6 month old girl-nothing

is this too much or too little?

Answer
My kids have to empty dishwasher (expect for the pots and pans, they don't go in a place that is safe for my kids to reach), they have to empty the liter boxes, pick up dog poop in the yard, clean the bird and hermit crabs cages, clean the bathroom, clean their bedroom, sweep/mop/vacuum, pick up their toys. They don't have to do these chores daily or even weekly, everyone in the family has a turn to do them. I don't have any harsh chemicals to clean with in my house so it's completely safe for them to clean whatever I'm cleaning, and I'm not about to be the only one that cleans the bathroom.
