In the traditional patriarchal society model, women's roles were to cook, clean, look after the children, and just generally take care of the house while the men went off to earn money outside the home. Things are different now. Rising costs of living and increased female ambition has lead to most families having two income earners, which means the upkeep on Toronto lofts is the responsibility of everyone in the family, with tasks delegated to each member based on age and capability. Here are some tips on delegating tasks.

If you and your partner hate different shores (he ironing, you doing the dishes) then it's obvious how the chore schedule should be broken up. But what do you do if you both can't stand to weed the lot at 761 Bay? You have two options that can keep resentment from building up. You can either trade shifts (he does it one week, you the next) or tackle the task together so neither of you has to be at it for as long. Forcing someone to continually do a chore they hate is never recommended.

Naturally hardly anyone is thrilled about doing housework, so the best idea for you might be to simply make a list of all the chores that need to be done in your King West condos, flip a coin to see who goes first, and then alternate choosing a chores until they're all gone. That way each person will end up with an equal number of chores they don't mind and chores they don't like. You can also institute a barter system where you can trade chore work in exchange for favors.

When you add kids into the mix, then things get complicated. You can't be expected to sell homes for sale in Bolton, raise the kids, and do all the chores, so as soon as they are able, the kids should be helping rather than holding you back. Delegate them chores according to their age and ability. Five year olds can set the table, but probably not dust your vase collection, while older kids can be tasked to look after or pick up younger ones from activities. Mentally or physically challenged kids many never be able to handle some tasks, but they should have some sort of chore so they can contribute like everyone else.

If there are more chores than family members, offer the rest of the chores up for grabs on a reward basis. The reward might be money, special freebies from Heating Burlington, or extra privileges.
