The Sunday family reset

The short answer

Forty-five minutes on a Sunday with everyone in it. Ten minutes all together putting things back, then a job list by age, from toys into one basket at two to a shared job that is theirs at thirteen, then ten minutes at the table on the week ahead. It ends with something good, or it does not stick.

Write each name next to a job. A job with a name on it gets done; a job for the family does not.

Or print from the browser: Ctrl+P on Windows, ⌘P on a Mac. Only the sheet prints.

What usually comes up?

What if they do the job badly?

Accept their standard in front of them. Redoing it while they watch ends the arrangement. If it truly must be redone, do it later and out of sight.

Should the jobs change every week?

No. Same job, same time, same person. A fixed rhythm beats reminders, and ownership does more than any chart. The full reasoning is on the kids' chores page.

Where do the bags go afterwards?

Op shop, refund, drop-off or bin: Where does it go? answers it by state. The other sheets are on the printables page.
