When I was growing up we had chores that we had to do before we could play. So it only seems fair that my boys have chores too. What I didn't realize when I started this parenting gig was that all the boys want to do the same chore (and it almost doesn't matter what that chore happens to be). So the chore this time was cleaning the toilet. Each boy had to have their own turn to scrub the bowl and get it shiny white. By the third boy we just about had it sparkling. Donovan actually got 2 turns (I think he was taking a turn for Aleky). But at least we can say that our boys do their chores and our bathroom is clean.
