I mow my own lawn, de-weed my yard, cut the hedges, etc, all my my little ol self!

Once I have kids, though, I plan on putting together one of those weekly rotational chore charts so that my kids help out with EVERYTHING in running a house: dishes, yard work. cleaning, vacuuming, etc. I also plan on teaching them to cook, whether they are boys or girls, so that when they become teenagers we can have a family rotation of cooking days, too! (Not to mention, women will LOVE a guy that can cook in the future, and he will be more self-sufficient than most around him!)

My kids WILL NOT be lazy, sitting in front of the TV or computer kids. NO TV's or computers in their bedroom (I had a TV in my bedroom as a kid, and I can say it was QUITE the distraction from homework).

If my kids want to earn money, you betcha I will encourage them to do it!
