## Prompt

```text
Help me set up household chores for my kids that actually get done.

**Kids and ages:** [e.g. "Maya 4, Leo 8, Sam 13"]
**Jobs I need help with:** [dishes, laundry, pets, tidying, trash, yard, etc.]
**Time each child realistically has on school days and weekends:** [DETAILS]
**Rewards approach:** [allowance tied to chores / no money / points / privileges / not sure]
**What's gone wrong before:** [e.g. "nagging", "arguments about fairness", "chart forgotten after a week"]

Give me:
1. A list of chores matched to each child's age and ability, with a one-line "done means" standard for each (e.g. "toys in bins, floor clear").
2. A weekly chart as a table: Chore | Who | Days | Done-means.
3. A fairness check so older kids don't feel dumped on and younger ones still contribute.
4. How to teach each new chore (show, do together, watch, solo).
5. A low-effort way to keep it going: reminders, check-in time, what happens when chores are skipped, and when to rotate jobs.

Keep tasks safe for each age (no sharp knives, hot stoves, or chemicals for young children) and the system simple enough to run in under 5 minutes a day.
