## Prompt

```text
Help me run a family meeting to divide household chores.

**Who lives here:** [ADULTS AND KIDS WITH AGES]
**Schedules:** [WORK HOURS, SCHOOL, ACTIVITIES]
**Current chores and who does them:** [LIST, even roughly]
**What's causing tension:** [e.g. "I do most of it", "kids forget", "nobody agrees on what clean means"]
**Things anyone dislikes or prefers:** [PREFERENCES]

Give me:
1. **A full chore list** from what I shared, adding commonly forgotten tasks (planning meals, appointments, buying gifts, laundry folding) so invisible work counts too. Mark which I added.
2. **Time estimates** per task per week.
3. **A fair split** in a table: Task | Frequency | Est. time | Assigned to | Backup. Balance by time and effort, considering schedules, and give kids age-appropriate tasks.
4. **A 30-minute meeting agenda:** opening (why we're doing this, without blame), choosing tasks, agreeing what "done" means, and how we'll check in.
5. **Wording for the opening** that invites cooperation rather than complaint.
6. **Tracking:** a simple chart or app approach, and a monthly 10-minute review.
7. **What happens when someone forgets:** reminders and consequences that are fair, not punishing.

Keep it practical and light enough that the family actually sticks with it.
