How to give my kids more responsibilities
It made me
happy 
"Stressful to get there, but definitely worth it!"
How I did it: I looked at different parenting sites to see what are the age-appropriate chores for school-aged kids. I started with one new responsibility and then added a new one every week.
My daughter was a little hard to get on board, but with consistency, she finally started doing her chores.
I'm so glad that I finally did this because I was going insane with all the chores around the house. I'm a natural control freak, but I am glad that I finally let go of some control and delegated to the kids.
Lessons & tips:
- Don't give up
- Consistency is key!
- Even if they don't do it like you would do it, praise them and don't try to fix it
