So we broke all chores down into their smallest units, and bid in 1/4 hours for each. Some chores were always left to the youngest who couldn't bid on dinners etc. and hesh asked that some small chores be worth more so hesh didn't have to do them all. Someone suggested that a chore was worth whatever the lowest bid was. When the cat box went for 2 hours instead of 1/2 the youngest knew we had a winning system, and we refined it from there. Both boys learned to cook aceptable dinners very young to avoid laundry and bathrooms which is how laundry came to be the man's chore.
