re: live without chores

I just wanted to add something to the many posts. There was a time
when I was extremely frustrated with my kids leaving their trash
wherever they were, they just dropped it where they were sitting. And
the clothes, wherever they took it off that is where it stayed. I
remember calling Ren and venting my frustration. She said "Why don't
you just make it really easy for them by putting little trash cans in
the areas where they seem to drop their trash." Duh!!! It seemed to
simple but I couldn't get past the tools I was given as a child.
Somehow my kids were lazy and uncaring when really they just had a
hard time leaving what they were doing to throw something in the
trash.
