If you’re tired of doing all the work and wondering why chore charts never stick—this episode is for you. I’ll show you how we rebuilt a chore system in our home that brought real support (without resentment) and gave our family the teamwork we needed. HerHomeAndHeart.com
Do you ever feel like you’re the only one doing everything—again?
You’ve even tried chore charts. You’ve talked, asked, begged.
But somehow… the crumbs are still there. The socks multiply. And no one else seems to notice.
I’ve been there too. And I want to gently walk with you through this.
In this episode of Her Home and Heart, I’ll share:
A vulnerable moment when I felt unseen after years of trying to keep our home going
The two chore systems that truly helped us (after trying so many!)
How I used FlyLady’s gentle structure to reset our routines with grace
What happened when I fell ill and realized my kids had learned so much more than I thought
How you can start (or restart) a simple system that works—without becoming the nag or the martyr
This isn’t about doing it all.
It’s about doing it together.
Let’s release the guilt, quiet the resentment, and build a home where everyone plays a part—one step at a time.
With grace and practical help,
Katie
P.S. And if you need encouragement that chore training matters, I highly recommendthis article from The Atlantic.
