I love how the Duggar manage to find the balance between kids being kids and kids pulling there own! Also does anyone know what the bates announcement was?

Hi Anonymous,
The big announcement didn't end up airing. TLC removed mention of it from the episode summary.
Enjoy your week!

Thank you! I find it important to train our kids to be helpful, so I shared this list on FB and also in my blog: http://lillaskids.blogspot.hu/2012/06/chores-feladatok.html
What about regular chores like cleaning kitchen or washing dishes or picking up living room?
thank you for posting the list!
The three things that strike me as most valuable in their suggestions is to start at an early age, make sure the chores are a meaningful contribution, and focus on life skills. So important these days since kids are getting far fewer opportunities to learn them. A lot of parents are just trying to get through the day and may find it easier to just do it themselves and get it done while missing out on opportunities to teach and provide practice
I have noticed that the children seem to do everything, from cooking to housework to babysitting. What do you and your husband do?
