Let us know how you enjoyed this episode!Chores are more than just about getting the house clean. In this episode, I'm joined by Family Coach Lori Sugarman-Li and she shares how chores are opportunities to teach your kids life skills and build a stronger family dynamic.In this episode, we dig into how involving kids in the work of running a household is about so much more than ticking off tasks on a to-do list. It's about instilling responsibility, empowering them to contribute meaningfully, and fostering resilience they'll carry into adulthood.You'll learn why reframing chores as "family contributions" can transform the way your kids see them (and how you feel about enforcing them). This isn't about nagging or micromanaging—it's about helping kids understand the scope of work that keeps a family functioning and giving them a sense of pride in being part of that.Here's what we cover in this episode:Why chores aren't just chores—they're opportunities for growth and empowermentHow involving kids in household work builds self-esteem, accountability, and communication skillsSimple strategies to make chores feel like meaningful contributions instead of punishmentsHow to model the value of teamwork so your kids learn to carry their weight in the familyWays to handle pushback and frustration without creating power strugglesIf you're tired of the endless battle over chores and want a fresh, more collaborative way to approach them, this episode will help you reimagine what shared responsibility looks like in your home.Connect with Lori!Website: https://ourhomeourpride.comIG: @ourhomeourprideBuy her book here!Thank you for listening!If you're ready to break the cycles you've noticed in your marriage, reach out by booking a clarity call to become a client! https://michellepurta.as.me/clarityConnect and send a message letting me know what you took away from this episode: @michellepurtacoaching and follow me on threads @michellepurtacoaching!If you would like to support this show, please rate and review the show, and share it with people you know would love this show too!Additional Resources:Ready to put a stop to the arguments in your marriage?  Watch this free masterclass - The #1 Conversation Married Couples Need To Have (But Aren't)Want to handle conflict with more confidence?

Clucks and cackles around the the halls of Parliament today as MPs are told to ponder which chores children should be able to do on family farms. The Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden wants to clarify the rules around what kids can and can't do on a farm. But her reference to collecting eggs and watering plants has left some of her colleagues scratching their heads. Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports.

You're staring at the homeschool plans you once felt so excited about… but now they just feel overwhelming. Your house is a mess, the kids are wild, and the doubt starts to creep in: “Why can't I keep up?” “This isn't good enough.” “I'm not good enough.” “Maybe they were right, I can't do this.” If your daily thoughts sound more like criticism than compassion, if you've ever felt ashamed, defeated, or like you're failing at the thing you care most about, you are not alone!  So many mothers talk to themselves in a way they would never speak to another adult, even though they admit with shame that they talk to their children like that to some degree.  In this week's episode I'm going to help you recognize that voice for what it really is, a bully.  And then, we're going to do something radical: I'm going to show you how to stand up to her.  Not with toxic positivity, but with truth, compassion, and the fierce love of a best friend. Because when you stop bullying yourself and start standing up for your own dignity and worthiness, everything shifts. You feel lighter. More capable. More connected. More like yourself again. And you begin showing up for your kids, your marriage, and your homeschool with the grace that comes from knowing who you truly are: a beloved daughter of God, who is always worth fighting for. If you're tired of feeling heavy and hard on yourself, and you're ready to feel seen, supported, and lighter inside your own mind and heart, I've got a podcast episode that will speak directly to the little girl inside you who just wants a hug. Grab your earbuds and join me for: Don't Talk to My Friend Like That! Come work with me HERE.

Phew!  Acorn has been a schwetty puddle lately... Chores are sporadic- out for an hour then back in to recover.  Driving up to the post office is a lovely way to cool down, according to Acorn...  Driving ANYWHERE has been better than melting.  Blind Hog and Acorn took the kiddos to Crystal Bridges to see the KAWS exhibit.  Was a good way to spend a very hot day.Roses have been procured, marked down 50%.  JUST what a farm needs, lol... They are very fragrant, look like an old time rose.Sunshades on both tractors- look right "store bought."  $100, plus $4.89 for two bolts was all it cost for both. #themoreyouknow...

What comes to mind when you think of doing chores? In today's episode, I examine a different way to look at them. 

“Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it.” - Proverbs 22:6As parents, we often wonder when to begin teaching our kids about money. The simple answer? It's never too early. In fact, a study by Purdue University found that most of our lifelong money habits are formed by the age of seven. That's a sobering realization—but also a hopeful one. Because with intentionality and biblical wisdom, we can help our children become faithful stewards from an early age.Here's how to begin—step by step.Ages 3–5: Needs, Wants, and WorshipEven toddlers can begin to understand the basics of money. Start by teaching the difference between needs and wants. A home, food, and clothing? Those are needs. But that cereal with a cartoon character? That's a want—and a perfect conversation starter.As you shop, ask your child to name which items fall into which category. Then take the opportunity to remind them: God provides all our needs and blesses us with more than we deserve.Begin using the three-jar method—one for spending, one for saving, and one for giving. When your child receives birthday money or a small allowance, help them divide it equally. Let them drop their “giving” portion into the offering plate each week. It's a simple but powerful way to connect generosity with worship.Ages 6–10: Responsibility and Short-Term GoalsAt this stage, kids are ready to take on more responsibility. Assign small chores tied to a modest allowance. If they complete the job, they earn the money. If not, the allowance waits. It's a simple lesson in accountability and work ethic.If they want something beyond their current funds, help them create a short-term savings plan. Use sticker charts or visual trackers to make progress fun and tangible.Give your child a few dollars and let them plan how to spend it on snacks for the week. This is a great way to teach a foundational principle from financial teacher Ron Blue:“You always have more choices than money.”Encourage your child to give regularly to causes they care about. Ask why they want to give—and help them understand how giving reflects God's heart.Ages 11–15: Bigger Goals, Delayed GratificationNow your child may be babysitting, mowing lawns, or doing small jobs for neighbors. It's the perfect time to talk about larger savings goals—maybe a new bike or a camp trip.Consider opening a custodial savings account or using a kid-friendly money app. Walk through monthly statements together and celebrate milestones. Let them make decisions (and occasional mistakes) while you're close by to guide them.If they want to buy something online, encourage them to wait a few days, compare options, and pray before making a purchase. The lesson is clear: patience often leads to better decisions.Ages 16–18: Real-World Practice and Investing BasicsTeenagers who are working part-time jobs are ready for more advanced money management.Help them set up a formal budget with real income and categories for saving, spending, and giving. This is also a good time to introduce matching incentives: If they save $500, you match it, just like an employer's 401(k) might.Let them research a company and buy a fractional share through a custodial brokerage account. If they have earned income, consider opening a Roth IRA to model long-term investing.Remind them: Markets go up and down, but faithful stewardship builds wealth over time.The Ultimate Goal: A Faithful StewardReinforce this truth: Their worth isn't tied to their net worth. All we have is a gift from God to be managed for His glory, not our own.No matter your child's age, the goal remains the same: to raise someone who knows how to earn, manage, give, and grow what God has entrusted to them. You don't have to be a financial expert—you just have to be present and intentional.Keep the conversation going. Keep pointing them to biblical truth. And remember—this isn't just a financial lesson. It's a spiritual one.For more resources on biblical money management and to start budgeting as a family, check out the FaithFi app.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I'm 58, single, and plan to keep working until I'm 70. I live frugally and want to ensure that my assets are managed wisely and passed on to my four children, especially my youngest. I'm considering setting up a trust, but the $2,000 cost seems steep. Is that the best option for someone like me who wants to ensure everything is protected and appropriately distributed?I'm looking to understand how reverse mortgages work. What kind of interest rates do they typically charge? Do they accrue interest like a traditional mortgage over time? Are there any upfront fees to get started?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Movement MortgageWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions most days at (800) 525-7000.

Christine Carrig, head of school at Carrig Montessori School in Brooklyn, Substack writer and the writer in residence at the Khora: Maternal and Reproductive Psychology Lab at Teachers College, talks about her article in the Atlantic that argues children get lifelong benefits from helping around the house.

Are you worried that your kid not doing their choices means they're never going to be responsible? I saw a social media post referencing a Harvard study that claims that kids who do chores grow up to be more successful—and the minute I read it I thought, "But what happens if I can't get my kid to do chores?! The study seems to affirm our deepest sense of responsibility to help our kids be good people and prepare them for the real world. But if you've got a teen who refuses to empty the dishwasher or who never puts away their laundry, it can feel like you're fighting a losing battle. And it's easy to wonder—am I messing this up? In this episode, I break down what the research actually says—and what it doesn't. You'll learn why chores alone don't build long-term success, and how the pressure to enforce responsibility can push you and your teen further apart. More importantly, I'll show you what does work: how connection, trust, and emotional consistency are what truly help teens take ownership of their choices. And how shifting your own mindset can turn power struggles into opportunities for growth. If you've been stuck in the cycle of nagging, second-guessing, or trying to “make” your teen responsible, this episode will help you refocus—not on the chore chart, but on the relationship that matters most.

Fitz, Nighteyes, and Beloved fall into routine. Chores are done, stories exchanged, jokes made, and brandy fills their glasses at night.

Research suggests that involving chores in a child's routine from as young as three years old has massive benefits.A 20-year study by the University of Minnesota found that doing chores from a young age is the best predictor for having a good education, a solid career and healthy relationships with family and friends in adulthood.It has been shown that having set chores helps improve a child's responsibility, self-reliance and a sense of accomplishment. It has also been proven that it boosts self-esteem, teaches valuable life skills, and contributes to a child's overall positive mental health.Joining Andrea to discuss this is Dr Anne Keogh, Senior Clinical Psychologist and Chartered Member of the Psychological Society of Ireland, Siobhan O'Neill White from mams.ie, Lisa O'Sullivan Shaw (@modernirishmom on Instagram) and listeners.

The fellas are back from vacation and have lots to catch up on! Jon recently returned from Europe. He bravely transformed into "vacation Jon," embracing the holiday spirit by not stressing about money and being ready to spend "enchanted money," despite usually being more frugal. He even endured intense cycling in Mallorca and had a run-in (kinda) with Obi-Wan. Meanwhile, Dave took his own family to Trail West, a Young Life camp in Buena Vista Colorado, describing it as a resort experience focused on family bonding, conveniently without televisions in the rooms. They also delved into their kids' music tastes. Dave, ever the music enthusiast, admitted to running a "regime" in his car, making his kids listen to '90s R&B and hip-hop. He uses these car rides as teaching moments for music history. They also dive deep on getting your teenager their first phone. Join us: ⁠http://dadville.substack.com⁠ Thanks to our sponsors!

In this episode of Dear DSO, I tackle Dave's story — he's been married 13 years, but for the last eight, the bedroom has been dead. Less than 10 times a year. He's doing the chores, paying the bills, helping with everything, hoping it will reignite intimacy… but it hasn't worked.We talk about perimenopause, the harsh biological and emotional shifts that happen in long-term marriages, and the hard truth: sometimes, no amount of chore-play will bring back the spark.

If you are anything like me you've got a baby in your arms, or on your hip, and a to-do list a mile long. Baby #3 is 2 months now, and I know firsthand how tricky it can be to get anything done when you've got a little one who needs you 24/7. The laundry piles up, dinner still has to be made, and we're not even going to talk about the last time the floors got mopped. But in this episode, I share my #1 tip that's helped me juggle the chaos and still keep the homestead going strong—and that is babywearing. It's simple, so practical, and truly a game-changer. So if you're feeling overwhelmed trying to keep up with chores while snuggling that sweet baby, let's talk about how babywearing can give you your hands and your peace of mind back.   Whether you're doing laundry, prepping veggies for dinner, or just trying to sweep the floor, babywearing can be your secret weapon for making it all work when you have a velcro baby who just wants to be with mom. Remember, this is such a beautiful season,  but it's also demanding. You don't have to do it all perfectly. Just find the tools that make things a little bit easier, and babywearing has been one of those for me. I pray that this episode would bless you.

Is your chore system boring, broken, or just barely hanging on? In this week's episode, Mystie Winckler explains why treating housework like a board game—not a machine—can radically change how you engage with your homemaking routines. Instead of striving for sameness or perfection, you'll discover how playful strategy leads to greater joy, engagement, and flexibility.

Are you pulling your hair out trying to motivate your kids? Do chores feel like a constant battle in your house? Is homework a never-ending saga of lollygagging and procrastination for you too? If so, then this episode of The Dad Edge is definitely for you. I'm revisiting one of our most popular Q&A sessions because it's packed with the kind of crowdsourced wisdom that can really help us crack the code on kid motivation. This Q&A was originally recorded a couple of years back, but the principles we shared then are still incredibly relevant today. I wanted to bring this one back because I'm getting ready to launch my fifth book, Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. It's been a journey getting this book out, and some of the core ideas I've been exploring were definitely in the air during this original Q&A. And hey, if your marriage could use a boost too, check out: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage In this deep dive into real-life parenting strategies, you and I, along with the guys from The Dad Edge Alliance, explore: Creating Connection Through Ownership and Structure: Practical ways to foster responsibility in your kids. Modeling Responsibility and Emotional Intelligence: How your own actions speak volumes at home. Gamifying Contributions and Chores: Making tasks engaging and less of a battle. The Balance Between Incentives and Expectations: Finding the right approach to motivation. Proactive Communication and Family Agreements: Eliminating power struggles before they begin. Later in the session, the conversation shifts to the bedrock of the family: Emotional Connection and Marriage: The vital role of intentional communication. Small Shifts, Big Impact: How subtle changes in posture can build psychological safety in your most important relationships. While some specific examples regarding children's ages or routines might be from the past, the core principles and actionable takeaways shared in this Q&A remain incredibly valuable for fathers navigating the daily challenges of raising motivated and responsible kids, and building a strong family foundation. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge
