Laundry Motivation

I asked Lily to fold her laundry. This is a new chore for her. She was whining, saying she didn't like to do it, blah blah blah...

So I offered to trade her, I'd fold her laundry, and she could fold mine, Dad's, Eve's and Abigail's.

It actually worked, she said she didn't want to trade and stopped complaining. A couple of minutes later she was even taking pride in folding well and said she liked doing her laundry!

YAY! You're a fabulous mom. I'm proud of you! ROFL at Lily's decision. I've actually paid Ashley to fold/hang up/put away the entire family's laundry before. She won't do it again.

I'll have to remember that when Gabriela gets a little bit bigger.

You are an awesome mom!! Good job!
Maybe I should try that with my kids. ;p
They actually get turns at washing their own at this stage in the game.
