Assign Chore Day to Every Family Member

If you have become fed up with doing laundry all the time, assign a day for laundry to every member of the family. 8 years old or elder ones are preferred for this task. This will maintain the system, lessen the mountains of clothes, and prevent the laundry room traffic jam.

Moreover, give chance to everyone to talk about the improvement and appreciate the efforts, especially encourage kids for their efforts and good behaviors.
