We continued to do the same big chores we did when our kids were away…that included yard work. They did pitch in and help with things like dishes, and the like. But really…they were not washing my floors while,they were away at college so honestly, I didn’t expect them to do that when they were home.

Now…having said that…both DID pitch in with that housework…things like cleaning their bathroom, and vacuuming. In addition, they were responsible for their own rooms, laundry, and the like. We didn’t give them a nickel of spending money during vacations…and when they used our cars, they were asked to leave them clean, and with the gas tank on full. And they did.

If your kids had not come home for the summer, who would have mowed the lawn?
