My Kids Yearly Jobs

A rotating job chart doesn't work for my family, because all the kids are at different stages and need different jobs to help them grow and help our family run. So every September, my kids get jobs for the year. Sometimes jobs change, and sometimes they stay the same. In general, these are the things they are supposed to do every day without being asked. They still usually have to be asked, but if other things come up, I'm allowed to add to their list of things to do. Every day, everyone has a breakfast, morning, lunch and dinner job. Once a week they have a laundry job, and once a month, my older kids make dinner (see my post a few down).

Here are the current jobs:
