Thank you–this was very helpful! One more question. . .On the specifics, like letting the children know chores are a “standing instruction”, the children having to make up the time if you do the chore for them, the time period allowed for chores to be done, or the 30 minutes for a dishonest chore, how did you determine these and then teach/tell your children about what would happen?

A week ago, I was standing in the kitchen canning peaches, and my whole family atmosphere fell apart all around me in a matter of five minutes.
My son was asked by his father to help with something in the back yard. My son didn't want to do it, so he decided to have an attitude problem about it. My husband was stressed, and chose to get upset, instead of teach to the situation correctly. (We all have our moments of weakness from time to time.)
My daughter was supposed to be cleaning her room, and was playing her piano instead. She had lost focus. (She is ten, this happens sometime

About five years ago I met a couple who seemed to have happiness in marriage completely figured out. They shared some of their secrets with me. One of them has made a huge impact on our home. It is called Odd and Even days.
On the even days of the month everything bad that happen is my fault. On the odd days of the month everything bad that happens is my husband's fault.
If I lock my keys in my car and have to be rescued on May 3rd, it is my husband's fault. He would say something like, "Honey, I am so sorry that I locked your keys in the car. Can you forgive me?"

A Lesson Learned

We came to DC thinking we could get mugged. We left our hotel this morning, with our money hidden, and pinned in our pockets, and no bags visible to steal. We were ready to battle the muggers of DC.
In the afternoon, it rained. To be exact, it poured buckets on our heads. We only had shopping bags to put over our heads.
A woman saw our pitiful family, and stopped her car in front of us. She put two black umbrellas out the window of her car. One of them still had tags on it. I ran over to the car, and took the umbrellas from her. After thanking her, I put money on
Virginia

I have been invited to Virginia Beach to do five classes at the LDSEHE convention there. I am leaving today. Since we are traveling to the East Coast, we decided to see the US History sights for a couple of weeks.
I am going to conduct an experiment. I am bringing the lap top and am going to try to update the blog and answer questions while traveling. This is if I end up with Internet in the places we are staying. I might miss a few days here and there, but overall, I am excited to see if I can keep up with this while traveling.
Here's crossing my fingers!
