monthly house chores for kids

Your family's monthly house chores list is sure to be very different from my family's list. 

Your list will differ depending on so many factors, such as how many kids you have and how old they are, the layout of your home, whether or not you have pets, where you live, how much (or how little) your family is home, and how meticulous you and the family intend to be with your housekeeping routine.

This is the monthly house chores list that works best for me.
